Ever since Susan & I went to Morocco in Febuary we have been all about the cous. Though attempts to find couscous as good as we had in Tangier after we got back proved fruitless. We’ve both even tried making it at home and sharing our experiences – as much as possible from across the pond. And so I’m sure she will be a wee bit envious when she sees the gorgeous Moroccan lunch (including couscous!) that Sara treated us to at As-Sawirah yesterday …

Uff, my hair looked way better before the humidity got to it. That’ll teach me to wear it down. By the time I got home it was all poodly.
But yes, it was a great lunch. We started off with a drink at Campanario and said bon voyage to María Paz, who is leaving on a trip to Buenos Aires today.
For the record, the food wasn’t quite as good as what Sue & I had in Tangier, but it was still very tasty. And the company was first rate!

Heh, remember the guy giving you his prunes in the Hammedi Restaurant?
Sara had the lamb with prunes. She & Steve had the lunch special that came with a soup and a tagine (Steve had the chicken & onion tagine). We all shared the hummus as a starter and then Nog & I shared the chicken couscous and the lamb tagine with dates & toasted almonds, which were both very good.
You would have loved it. No orchestra though …

I completely forgot about the prunes. Yes, well two western ladies traveling around Tangiers, showing our hair and everything, inspires men to offer their prunes. I guess.

Lol…. You were lucky it was just his prunes.
My Dad used to call prunes “CPR strawberries”. During the war, when the troops travelled on the CPR railway, the menu always said “strawberries” but you always got prunes, instead…

Man, that stuff looks good. I am sitting here waiting for our soup to get hot. It is a beef barley vegetable that we have been cultivating for a few days. It is really outstanding, but not as good as that lamb/prune tagine looks to be.
Thank goodness it is almost lunch time. We have been doing concrete work, which I will post about later today on my blog, and I am HUNGRY.
All that food looks like it is loaded with turmeric and all those other wonderfully antioxidant spices.
I agree with the others who posted above saying you look great. You do, poodly hair or not. That smile says “I feel great and I’m having a wonderful time.”
I haven’t had strange men offer me their prunes in quite some time. Oh well. Youth fleets away before we appreciate it.
