Tonight we cooked our very first dinner! It was pretty low key, but still required a lot of work. We chopped up the tomatoes, cucumbers and Arab cucumbers that we bought at the Shuk today.
We then made hard boiled eggs.
They turned out beautifully.
We bought baked beans from the makolet (a small neighborhood market) down the street from our apartment. When we got home, multiple people tried opening a can with a few different can openers. Unfortunately, none of them worked too well. Finally, Sarah heroically opened the can, but with a splat.
We also made some guacamole. Along with each of the things we prepared, we put out pita from the shuk, cheeses and who can forget chumus!
comment from a participating diner: It was delicious! These girls are well on their way towards culinary stardom. (Well, okay, now they know how to turn on the stove)
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful that you are 1. learning how to cook for yourselves and the rest of your families; 2. blogging about it! Those "Arab cucumbers" look like the cukes that are used for pickles. How bad could any fresh, crunchy vegetable be?
ReplyDeleteSay hi to all the Kellners for me!!
Sounds delicious! I like the color of the knife? Do you have a red knife for meat?
ReplyDeleteThanks everyone! And for all who are wondering, we don't have a red knife for meat. Yet. Right now we've got just the green one!
