Day 33: Food Delivery for the Sick Patient

We all know that being sick is no fun. Poor Ellaine has come down with something and wasn't much help today with yard work, house work, or much of anything for that matter, as she needed to devote all her energy to getting better. 

In an effort to make sure we got something new in, while allowing Ellaine to catch up on sleep, I found an Afghanistan restaurant around us because we have never tried this type of food before. We got some Pakawra (battered and fried potatoes), Bowlani (flatbread stuffed with potatoes), and an order of Mantoo (Afghan Meat Dumplings) with Iced Afghanistan Tea.  

Ellaine was asleep as I placed the order, so I tried keep things in the "meat and potatoes" category that she told me about on our very first date. Overall, the food was delicious. From reading up on some of the recipes, we might try them again with slightly different executions, but overall I'm very happy that we got some new foods to throw into our rotation.
