My Mediterranean fix

I bet you have one of those days (or nights), too---craving for a specific food or flavor.  It's probably the cold weather, or the seemingly endless routine that drove me to  imagine Mediterranean flavors all day long.  By six in the evening, I was like a woman possessed.  Good thing I did not salivate all the way to the elevator!:p

The nearest Mediterranean restaurant to my place of work is Behrouz Persian Cuisine at Metrowalk.  It's a shabby place with rickety chairs and worn out tablecloths, with a crew who looked like they would kick you out when you ask for a glass of water.  But I was there to  get my fix, not to be smiled at and be pampered.

I got warm pita and hummus for appetizer.  The hummus was extra creamy and with spiced ground meat, the marriage of flavor was simply  delightful. I got a beef stew dish with chickpea paired with basmati rice---I can't remember what it was called, but I remember how tender the meat and how alluring the spices and textures were.  And I cleaned up the bowl down to the last tasty morsel. 

Burp.
