Sorry for the lack of updates. I’ve actually been eating still just procrastinating on the updates.
Since my mom loves lamb, my brother and me decided to take her to Kokkari for Mother’s Day dinner. Luckily for me, it turned out that Kokkari was conveniently on The List. This particular item from The List is exactly why I’m glad I started this little project. If it wasn’t on the list, I would have most likely gotten the moussaka, which I’ve gotten at Kokkari before. For food, it’s really easy to order something you’ve tried before and you know you like. No one wants to be disappointed with their meal. But trying new and different things, especially for food, really helps to expand your tastes.
So now actually back to the food…luckily for me the goat stew was avaiable as a special that night. The family decided to start out with a trio of dips with pita. The dips were pretty good with the favosalata being my favorite. I can’t really tell you why they call it favosalata instead of hummus but I think it was the same. As you can see, my family was pretty hungry and started chowing down before I had a chance to bust out the camera phone.
The goat stew finally came and it smelled damn good. It’s the type of dish that seems to warm you up just by looking at it and I’m certain that it would be perfect on a cold night. The goat was very tender and not at all gamey. The stew also came with orzo which was a nice starch with the meal. However, the best part was the sauce! The sauce had a nice deep flavor with a little bit of tanginess from the melted feta. It really made me wish I didn’t stuff my face with pita and bread earlier in the night and instead saved some room to mop up the sauce with the bread.
The perfect end to the meal was the creme fraiche ice cream topped with honey (unfortunately forgot to take a picture of it).
looks good… and ive been trying to complete the same list haha! … how come you never mentioned this??
