I am back in business with our monthly get-togethers with my Kappa girls. It had been way too long. Every time we scheduled a dinner at Zahav, something came up and we had to cancel. I think this may have been our 3rd try and this time was a success. Zahav is an Isreali/middle eastern influenced restaurant that serves tapas-like dishes. We started with the salatim and hummus which provided lots of small dishes to try - everything from parsley salad with pomegranate seeds, to roasted eggplant, or sauteed okra in a tomato-like sauce. Everything was a little different from the next dish, but all very good. Then we all got to choose three dishes from the "dairy," "meat," and "grilled" section of the menu. Jamie, who is not a big fan of milks/cheeses, was a little taken back by a section called, "dairy." But I got the Savta Mati's Borekas which were little puff pastries filled with sweet potato and sheep's milk - it was like a little dessert - nothing to be scared about. We all tried lots of goodies and had tons of fun catching up on all the new news in our lives - boyfriends, work & school, new baby and baby on the way. Love these girls so much! Pictured above is from the evening out - Devon didn't get the "all black" memo.
