The Ireem Chronicles

The party for Jonathan Moriarty is coming up in just over an hour!! I tracked down the Bedouin leader and asked if he had anything to say about the occaision. After threatening to behead me for setting foot in his tent, the normally pleasant (and always handsome) Bedu had this to say:

"I only want to ask everyone to forget tribal warfare and to mix in and simply enjoy themselves; wear what they like, forget prey, predator, knight, etcetera and just have fun... *coughs* The knights could even forget their vows of chastity - just for the one night..."

As I was wandering through the streets of the city, a frantic Kadiara Jewell ran up to me smelling of the most delicious blend of aromas and was kind enough to deliver a menu for the evening. From what I saw in the window of her shop, the cuisine at the event will certainly be a delight for all who attend.

Kadiara will be serving:

• Sun-dried dates stuffed with almonds
• Sun-dried Apricots brushed with cinnamon
• Olives stuffed with goat cheese mashed with coriander, caraway, and cumin seeds
• Kebabs of spicy lamb chunks skewered along with onion, peppers, and eggplant
• Hummus
• Flatbreads and Pitas
• Fatayer Bisabankh - little pies filled with seasoned spinach and onions
• Grilled Chicken Wings with Lemon and Garlic
• Eggplant Meatballs with spicy tomato sauce tossed with parsley
• Garlic Pita Crisps for dipping into:
• Hot Pepper Dip
• Mint-Yogurt Dip
• Chick-pea and Sesame Dip
• Fried Zucchini with Garlic Yogurt
• And finally, a delicate, melt-in-your-mouth baklava with its many layers of thin dough, chopped pistachios and walnuts, and sweet, golden honey

REMEMBER! The party is being held at 2pm SLT at the Ship's Inn, which you can reach if you start from the auction area, and take the path to the southwest around the city.
