I had a rather quiet evening Friday. Went to the grocery got a few things and then picked up my dry cleaning and then headed over to one of the nicer restaurants on this side of town. Had chicken fettucini alfredo. Not bad, but I think someone got the cheese containers mixed up, so instead of mozzarella cheese it tasted like a very mild cheddar.
It was not bad, but it was like cheese and macaroni with chunks of chicken in it.
In Arab countries you have to ask for the check, because they think it is rude to bother you and appear that they are rushing you to leave the restaurant. I could have left about 15 minutes earlier than I did but the entire waiter staff was glued to the TV in the restaurant. It is like they have never seen “WaterWorld” before. I waved my hands a number of times, before a different waiter had to motion to my waiter that I needed the
check.
American movies have a big audience in Libya. This particular channel plays nothing but movies all day long. I saw Mission Impossible and Pirates of the Caribbean just recently.
Still cannot find a resource to get some good old fashioned NFL football yet. I will let you know what I get worked out.
There is no mozarella in Fetucine alfredo ! Parmesean is the cheese of choice!! No wonder it tasted weird...oh well, it's cheese! Miss you!
