As a belated birthday present to Lily, Ekaterine "Georgiantanzer" and Jason treated us to a special Georgian meal...
It starts in the kitchen...
With a large amount of lamb.
Little Russian candies with pictures of foxes, polar bears and little girls on the wrappers. I mistakenly thought the pictures identified the candies' flavors. Mmmm, polar bear.
A massive cheese and bread loaf... pretty heavenly.
And plenty of wine.
Including this bottle, which appears Russian...
but if you look closely...
The Georgian language has its own alphabet. Cool.
Dear Ekat's Relatives, Please send Georgian script typewriter.
Then we tucked into this lamb and round rice stew, which was delicious. The not-so-secret ingredient in Georgian cooking... walnuts ground into a paste. The secret ingredient is a spice Ekat guards with her life.
The greatest gift of all? Today we eat THE LEFTOVERS!
