Had dinner at Shahrzad last night, the Iranian restaurant here at the Hyatt. When you walk in, you feel as if you are taking a step back in time to a Bedouin tent with live music. Since everyone keeps asking me about the food, I will report that I had a wonderful soup called Ash-e-Adas which is a lentil soup with leeks, some cream and fresh squeezed lemon juice. The main course was Gheymeh Bademjan which is a traditional stew of lamb with yellow lentils, tomatoes, and topped with crispy fried eggplant served over scented rice. Delish! They also had shisha pipes available (also knows as hookahs) with various flavors available (apple, rose, others) but we did not partake.
Lack of sleep is starting to catch up with me so it’s a good thing today is the last day of the conference though it promises to be a long day since I will be going out with the folks from Zulekah Hospital after the conference ends. It is the start of their weekend and typical Arab evenings go late into the night so who knows when I will get in tonight.
