I can honestly say that this has been the best week of food I have ever had in my life.
I went to a thai place, and I made the mistake of asking them to make it extra spicy. Holy smokes, themz fightin' wurdz. They brought in a large bowl o' rice, and it was literally on fire. I consumed this dish with utmost delight, although my mouth was ablaze. I wish I had consumed the house Merlot - a non-alcoholic beverage, which was sold out. How unfortunate. $10.
Yesterday, Dustin and I had to go shopping. We had to spend our budget (which I shall not mention here) to furnish out apartment with items, the soft kind (towels, bedsheets, rugs, bathroom things, etc). We shopped from 10.30am until 11.00pm. No, that is not a type-o, we literally shopped for over 12 hours straight.
For years, I have been mocked by the swine-infested "Ikea meatballs." I have heard wondrous things about them, yet they have never fancied my tongue. History was made yesterday.
"Hello sir!"
"Very good sir!"
"Are these halal?"
"Yes sir, halal sir!"
"Hooray! I would like some. Are they good?"
"Very good sir!"
Excellent. They -were- excellent. I ate every last one. Thyoop. (Just say the word while you're breathing in, you'll understand)
I then went to the Emirates Marina Mall. This is right next to the indoor ski resort they have here. You can watch people riding down tires while you eat your food. We went to a Lebanese place. There was a dish there called "Khoush Khash," which is probably the inspiration for the "Kholkhalash" stand that Homer eats at while his car has a boot on it. I didnt order it, for fear of having to use the restroom, and ordered the mixed grill. Beef and Chicken Skewers - quite possibly the best chicken I have ever eaten, with Beef and Chicken Kabob, and a lamb chop on the side. All for a whopping $9. So wild, my son.
Then I went to the grocery store. I dont know what it is about this place, but there are so many people here, its amazing. Imagine wal-mart, on a friday night, in Texas, times 10. That's not even an exaggeration. Seriously. More on the people themselves here, later.
Surprising that I talk about food so much. I guess most everything else is boring. Lets do some quick bullets!
