beansideI'm a little bit sleepy this morning, so lets see if we can make this make sense.
Work yesterday was a little bit crazy. I'm assumming someone quit or went on FMLA at one of our sites, and there were about 20 patients that needed to be moved. Guess who got to do that? The site was begging us for help. and so my boss asked me if I'd be willing to do it. So, I did it. It involved calling people and then, if I didn't get them, sending them a message via mychart, with a carefully worded note asking them to reschedule. People were relatively nice, so it was all good.
Then, I was calling about another 15 patients back to get them in sooner/correct the mistakes they made scheduling on my chart, etc. IT meant that overall, I maybe took 25 calls during the day. The rest of the time was in callback mode. In theory that was fine. In practice, it felt a little like chaos.
Afterwards, we attempted to take the dog out for a walk, were denied, and then got all dappered up for our dinner at Ammoora.
We left as soon as my sister came home, and ended up getting there early. It was an easy drive down I-83 and across to light street. The restaurant is nestled into the Residences by Ritz Carlton, which look super swanky.
They seated us immediately, even though we were early and walked us through the hallway to the dining room. It was fucking gorgeous. Seriously, look it up on TikTok, and you'll see. It's just a beautiful restaurant.
Our waitress was adorable, and very sweet. We got a liter of sparkling water, and some non alcoholic drinks--being a Levantine restaurant that bridges the gap between Mediterranean and Middle Eastern, they had a lot of non alcoholic drinks. Which makes sense, since the food is halal, and some people who follow halal also abstain from alcohol.
We decided to go all out, and I didn't regret it until the end of my entree. We had the Za'atar Honey Burratta, which was amazing, with honey, pistachio and rose petals, and the Mousakan Chidcken rolls, which were excellent, and came with this sumac labneh dip that blew my mind. I was tempted just to lick the bowl of the sauce, y'all.
For dinner, Jess got Shish Tawouk, which is very spiced chicken kabobs--spicy, but oh so good. I got the Short Rib Freekeh, which is a buttery, melt in your mouth short rib (I didn't even need a knife for this, it was so tender) and a mushroom freekeh risotto. It definitely qualified as one of the best things I've ever eaten.
Against our best judgement, we got two deserts. I chose Rus Bil Karaz, which was coconut rice & milk pudding, confit sour cherries, coconut caramel tuile. It was really good, but the true star was Jess' choice, the Ashta Bil Asal, which was milk cream, honey, pistachio, Arabic cotton candy, rose petals. OMG, it was delicious and the perfect way to end the night.
My only complaint was that as it filled up, things got a little loud, and at points, we were both overstimulated.
Today, we're off to the farmers market to pick up our meat share, and then back home to play D&D!
Tomorrow, rest.
And on that note, I'm going to go put on pants and get myself together. Everyone have the very best Saturday!
