Dinner with Mike and Evan. Moseying around.

Dinner with Mike and Evan Friday early evening at 2 Tons restaurant and brewery. Nice place, good beer. Ample kitchen and decent service. Friendly staff and fun vibe. We sat outside. No cha cha though—the boys were mildly disappointed. We had the delicious mushroom khinkali, Georgian salad and mtsvadi—Georgia’s version of BBQ chicken.

Guard street dog. Claiming his territory. 😉 And our mushroom khinkali. I think they lay the mushroom khinkali on its side sometimes so they can distinguish it from the different kinds of khinkali. FYI: Khinkali is always boiled—not steamed or fried.

My lunch today. Sweet potatoes with Georgian cheese and cranberries. Delicious! I love sweet potatoes.

I know most of my blog posts are about eating, but I don’t think I have gained any weight . . . The food is decently healthy and they don’t serve large proportions EXCEPT with the khachapuri. And, I do limit my khachapuri to once a week in a smallish size.

Moseying around.

President’s house. The current president is Salome Zourabichvili.
Freedom Square or Liberty Square is located in the center of Tbilisi at the eastern end of Rustaveli Avenue.
BTW, it is really a circle.
My attempt at art.

On Saturday we fall back one hour at home. So, starting Sunday, I will be nine hours ahead of you.

Talk soon. xoxo, —nancy

  1. You look happy and relaxed and so does Mike. Wow, the food is so interesting. Not sure about those mushrooms though. Moseying around those beautiful old interesting buildings isn’t so hard to do. Interesting also, that they have Daylight Savings. Hadn’t thought about that in other countries.

    • Hi, Eileen. We don’t have daylight savings time here in Georgia. They did in Poland though. Since you fell back one hour last night or this morning, I am now nine hours ahead of you instead of eight.

      The food here is fabulous! Lots of vegetables and walnuts. What’s not to like . . . The mushroom khinkali is delicious. Khinkali is a dumpling, so the mushrooms are inside the dumpling/pasta. Georgian dumplings unlike Polish and even American dumplings are always boiled never steamed or fried. They occasionally fry them only to reheat. On Tuesday I am going to the mountains, looking forward to this trip. And Mike and I are going to the countryside next weekend. Talk soon. Best, —nancy
