Friday was a good time! I had work to do during the day, and Brian was also occupied… but we went to New Aladdin’s restaurant for dinner and to see Mahtaab and Najmaah dancing.

It was a wonderful time as usual. I had Okra Stew, which is a tomato-based stew where the okra is decidedly not gummy (people always ask that question), and it has such a rich smoky flavor, I’m a big fan. I was extra-happy that I had leftovers so I could have them for lunch on Saturday as well.

After dinner, we went to a jam session/rehearsal for our Abbott Brothers band. We stayed pretty late and played a LOT of music. I just love this group. They have been together since the late 1970s and it’s more like family than just friends.
