DH and I spent the weekend in Fairfax County, VA visiting a son. He
has just bought a house and we were interested in seeing it. We also
took him a lawnmower.

Restaurant food was on the agenda. He is not settled in yet.

Saturday night we ate at Pasha Cafe.

We started with the hummus with bread and pita.
I had the Gyro Platter, DH had spaghetti and son had Lamb Orzi. All
the food was great.

We had Sunday brunch at Metro 29.

I had Eggs Benedict, the men had eggs in some form and split my hash
browns. I got a canollini(sp?) to take home for dessert that night.

After Brunch we made a stop a Penzeys. After I looked at everything
in the store and smelled many of them I bought Saffron, Brown Mustard
Seed, and Spanish Paprika. DH bought Tandoori Chicken Seasoning and
Tumeric.

Sunday evening we ate at Rabeings Thai Restaurant.

We had Spring Rolls for an appetizer.
I had Pad Thai Supreme, son had Panang Beef and I don't see what DH
had. Another great meal. They gave an orchid to the mothers.

After dinner we went next door to Duangrat's Grocery.

My main purchase was a stone mortar and pestle for $15. They also had
deep clay ones for about $3 with the long wood pestle for $2. I
bought one of the long pestles because the wood was beautiful. I also
bought a small box Jasmine tea and a bag of white peppercorns. DH
bought some sauces.

My son has certainly spread his eating wings since he left home. And
all of these places are close to where he lives. Lucky man.

I am glad my son was driving while we were there. The traffic is
terrible.

Now to recuperate.
