Gin and Zilbertronic

on february 8, on the outskirts of houston, on a moderately pleasant day (70 degrees), in the midst of many strip malls, bella and i indulged in a food frenzy that included two pita wraps (falafel and freshly grilled lamb kefteh), assorted baklava, mocha, and turkish coffee.  lunch?  we are too busy for lunch, this was merely a repose from a shopping trip, which, at 3 hours, was a significant improvement from the last visit out to phoenicia specialty market.  other assorted goodies included luscious amounts of spiced olives, fresh muhamarra, fresh-baked pita bread, chocolate covered cranberries, marble halvah, hot ajvar, kashkaval, fresh feta cheese, dried fruits, sesame-encrusted roast chickpeas, and a bit of baba ghanoush!

posts will be soon coming fast and furious as the zilbers start landing in texas, and the bbq/mexican/mesquite-grilled anything hunt commences!
