Dinner at Ricky and Peter's


Thursday 18 July
Kathy, Holt and I were invited to dinner at Ricky and Peter's, along with Ahuva, Ken and Marsha.  And it was truly a feast, if not a fress.
Ricky began by serving cooling beer, along with nuts and salty snacks.  Then she and Ahuva began to put out so many dishes on the table that we thought we were back at Dvorah's again, except that there was meat: actual, tender, grilled chicken breast pieces, which shows that Israeli chickens are not just thighs and schnitzel. 


You can get an idea by looking at both halves of the table (i.e. making a panoramic photo by overlapping Ken in the middle).  

The vegetable platters included mushrooms, fried cousa squash, potatoes, sweet potatoes, baba ghanouj, carrot salad with cilantro, sautéed green beans, brown rice, white rice pilaf, and two kinds of salad.  And right along with it went both wine and limoncello.
I think there were pastries for dessert, but by that time I was dizzy with food, and maybe limoncello.
