I just came back from a Bedouin neighborhood where we joined this amazing Palestinian family for dinner. The husband runs an art gallery displaying incredible works by him and other Palestinian artists. Everything was mind blowing, almost moving because I felt like I was standing in the middle of a true revolutionary. And speaking of amazing, his wife cooked us (25 people) this fabulous buffet of food. I forget the type of cuisine, it starts with an M, but besides that it was so great to sit down and have a home-cooked meal. A Palestinian home-cooked meal! You should have tasted this food, the smell alone would've made you melt. There was lamb (or beef, I'm not quite sure), rice, green beans, roasted chicken, salad, and homemade hummus (!) and homemade bread. The wife (who by the way is mother to 11 kids) also made this incredible cinnamon drink, served ice cold.
It was truly a moving dinner. When the sun turned orange in the evening, the wife opened the shutters all the way, exposing this fantastic sunset.
It was one of the most incredible meals I've had in a long time.
