While the citizenry of Egypt is working through a tumultuous week sure to shape its future, we recently dined on a meal that was loosely inspired by the Near East — ginger & garlic spiced venison meatballs (Egyptians would surely use lamb) with a curried yogurt sauce, a middle eastern salad of lettuce, radishes, cucumbers, carrots & red cabbage, and some vegetable brown rice pilaf. For dessert, we had a scoop of mango sorbet with the first Florida strawberries of the season. This was a fresh, relaxing meal for us, which only underscored our wishes for peace and liberty in all of Egypt.
