Sheldon and I agreed to meet at Zooroona Restaurant on West Main St. for an early dinner Tuesday night . This is a new place run by the Mandwee family from the Middle East, and who own Tiffany's Wine Shop. We shared an order of Baba Ghannouj that was top rate, with large pieces of eggplant (grilled) with diced green and red pepper in a garlic-lemon-molasses, and parsley sauce. With the Al Dar Zalata (greens, tomoto, cucumber, Syrian cheese and tosted almonds) we should have stopped there.
But he ordered the Chicken Kafta Kabob and I had the Tawook, white chicken, grilled and with a garlic sauce. Both were served on a huge plate with rice and grilled green pepper, tomato and onion. We finished it for lunch today, since he is doing some shipping for me as I travel here in bit. Service was great, and with an order of Iraqi tea with cardomon, we were out the door for $20 each. We decided that a single dinner item split between us would be enough with an Appetizer and salad.
It amazes me to find such a great place to eat in Kalamazoo, and pleases me that the area supports great places like Food Dance, Oakland Bistro and Bells.
The meeting at the Kalamazoo Nature Center went well, with an audience of half beekeepers and half people-interested-in-bees. Mother Nature brought on some light snow and a few people slid off the road, but there was a good crowd for the first week of January.
People want to know what to plant for the bees.
Beekeepers want to know who is selling Michigan-produced nuclei colonies this spring.
I can use more useful information on both topics!
