Moroccan Food

Several times while walking around Palermo Viejo, I've passed this one really cool looking Moroccan restaurant, very similar to the one that aldina and I have visited in Asheville that has belly dancers. Finally, I went last night. It was one of the best meals I have had here in Argentina. Normally the ethnic food here is not very good, like for example, mexican food. They just can't make it here. Anyhow, this place was exquisite. We had some cheap wine, and I ordered the cous cous with this broth and super spicy stuff (yes, I said spicy, and I actually mean it. it's the first time I've found something spicy in this whole country), and chicken with cilantro and lemon and plums... it was amazing. Josh ordered kabaab, and it was delish!! I truly enjoyed it, and the restaurant looked amazing too! There were tables on the grond with cushions to sit on, regualr tables, and then mini tables with these small wicker chairs upstairs outside (except they brought in heaters to combat the cold). That's where we sat. I would love to go back, but instead I am going to La Cabrera tonight in honor of Father's Day... I am using my dad's credit card to eat the best steak in all of Buenos Aires. I am probably considered a bad daughter for that, but hooray for good food, good friends, and procrastination on that darn 25 page single spaced paper which has still not finished itself... more updates on food and life later!
