Tonight’s dinner flirted with South Asian flavors: a well-marbled bone-in pork loin chop dusted with Garam Masala, ground coriander, and seasoned salt and seared; roasted cauliflower sprinkled with paprika and chaat masala, re-roasted green beans; brown basmati rice pilaf with sauteed mushrooms, raita(ish – not pictured), and asparagus sauteed in the pork drippings with prepared mustard and agave (worked OK). DH loved the chop. I came nowhere near finishing anything but the cauli, raita, and beans!

I only have a photo of the photo salad and Turkish carrot salad.

Last night’s company was great, but the Syrian place was a bit of a letdown, TBH, especially compared to a Syrian place closer to our hood that is truly spectacular. Oh, well. My tastebuds are always jet-lagged for a few days anyway, so anything extravagantly delicious would likely not register…. so maybe it was ME? 
We shared a decent baba ghanoush, a very boring rabeh salad (another eggplant dish that needed ALL the seasonings!),
and I got a tabbouleh bowl with chicken & two hummi, one of them presumably beet hummus, given its pink color. The tabbouleh was basically a big ole pile of chopped parsley, a few flecks of bulgur, and no salt, oil, or anything resembling seasonings. The chicken was ok. I wasn’t very hungry (another jet-lag symptom that sadly won’t last), and didn’t finish.
My PIC had ordered a halloumi falafel wrap, thinking he’d get falafel and halloumi. Instead, he got halloumi in falafel breading. Tastier than my dish.
The show was just ok. The woman had a nice voice & an interesting life story, but I found the songs to be a little self-important/self-indulgent. I made friends outside bumming a cig from some German-American and regaling him and a random kid from Slovakia with terribly tasteless Jimmy Carr jokes. They were pretty bummed when I left
En route to the subway I stopped in at a falafel place to get a bottle of water for the trip home (hydration’s good, mmmmmkay?), and was told they were closed. I said “hey, all I want is some water” and they let me in. They asked if I was interested in some falafel they were otherwise going to toss – how could I say no to that? And they didn’t even charge me for the water. Gawd, I love this city. My PIC and our buddy polished off all but one falafel, which we gave to a homeless dude on the train.
Slept till 11am today. Today’s main objective is to test-drive an E-scooter, since my poor Vespa has had to be put down after 17 years of faithful service to our butts 
Dinner with another friend somewhere in Mitte tonight. He’s hauling a buncha students around all day, and will need sustenance afterwards. No idear what or where. We got time…
