Welcome to Armenia Raffi N.!
I haven�t logged since the football game, since I couldn�t find anything interesting that would interest our readers; it was a gloomy week� finally we had some good weather today.
I was pondering that what can I write today since I wanted to write about something and Eureka the topic appeared by itself. I will talk about one of the most important things in human life that I guess hasn�t appeared in those pages. I will talk about food which I hope will compensate my lack of having good photos for my �Week in Pictures� weekly log.
I was at my butcher couple of minutes ago and got some pork chalaghaj (chops). I guess meat is one of few products that being higher or equal in quality is cheaper in Armenia comparing to Indianapolis, IN. As a meat eater it gives me the greatest joy ever. My butcher said that tomorrow he will have some good beef liver; I am looking forward to that since tjvjik (liver dish) is my favorite food. I have avoided it in USA because liver being some sort of a body filter can be named as a nest of all the artificiality. Here in Armenia as almost all things being organic this problem is not that alarming. So welcome to Armenia if you want to eat liver.
Another thing about food worthy to be mentioned is that I finally entered to the Arabic store right next to my place. It was nice to get Tahini, Chakistes (Cypriot (Greek) word for green, cracked olives), curry powder and some Arabic sweets. I talked to the owner and apparently he is a repat from Syria, I didn�t ask for the year but I assume it should be in 60s since he said very-very long time ago.
I apologies but I have to end my food story right here, I can not resist the idea that I have some delicious goodies waiting for me for cooking. I said goodbye to the restaurants a long time ago since I couldn�t find any good one that could indulge my delicate appetite with a reasonable cost.
A bottle of Areni '98 (red dry wine) will wash down the whole thing.
Bon apetee to me.
