Good Food, Great Company!

We had a great time at Tuptim on Friday. The food was good but the company was even better - Linda, Stephanie and Nick joined Alan and me.

Alan and Nick are "meat and potatoes" guys, so the thought of trying something different was a challenge for them, but they actually did enjoy their meals. They stuck to the basics of meat and chicken in traditional sauces. Stephanie and I were more adventurous - we had a shrimp, scallop and chicken combination dish in a roasted chili sauce - mild for me and hot for her. Linda is a vegetarian and had a delicious dish with tofu, which I tasted for the first time. It was crispy and really good - not at all what I expected. We shared some appetizers - the chicken satay was a favorite. The restaurant itself is spacious and comfortable - perfect for our table of five.

We decided to save room for dessert elsewhere and after dinner we walked down Church Street to Gimmie Jimmie's. Good coffee, cake and cookies. I had a slice of my favorite red velvet cake. It was nice to sit outside enjoying dessert, listening to music and watching the action on Church Street.

Next week is Indian food. In the meantime, Linda, Stephanie and I decided that we needed to take a special trip back to Mesob for Ethiopian.
