Back to the Festival of the Arts. Since it was evening and chilly we didn't see that much. There were a few things I really wanted to see that I know go on during the day but I hadn't checked to see if they happen at night. We were also starving again at this point, so decided just to focus on the FOOD.
Our next decision involved direction: do we go left, or right? Once again Cathy left it up to me but I threw the ball back to her. Did she want to try
a) a Grey Goose Slush or
b) an avocado margarita?
I am just going to say like you guys were more focused on liquid food than actual food! But I like it.
Well all of a sudden he spins the GUY (dad) around and plants one on this man's lips! OK. Are they together
Then 5 minutes later he puts both hands on the mom's shoulders, turns her half way around and kisses her cheek loud and long. The dad-guy looks PISSED and I realize Cathy is correct and they are not together.
Wait!?! I don't understand how this story didn't end here and how this couple didn't get out of line and go complain to someone right then and there!?!!? And how did that woman not slap him in the face!!! Or how did the husband not punch him?!?! I am baffled by your story already?!!? I mean I know people love there avocado margaritas but...
Then the CM manager, a young, very tiny woman goes up to 50's man and we hear her tell him that this will be his last round of shots and those 3 go in.
Baffled AGAIN! What? last round? Why didn't they say there that they were cut off?!?! Clearly visibly drunk. Oye.
OMG I still can't believe he did this - 50's man TAKES HIS FINGER, AND POKES THE MANAGER IN THE FOREHEAD. RIGHT ON THE FOREHEAD. Like pushes her back almost.
I really thought you were going to say that he hit her or kissed her. One of the two. Which kind of makes the poke seem tame. But still. Dear lord, I don't understand how these 3 weren't escorted out. I know they didn't wait for security but it can't be that hard to find 3 drunk men poking and kissing people!
Mmm, the Avocado Margarita:
Avocado
Tequila, melon liqueur, fresh avocado, agave nectar, and fresh lime juice, served frozen with a hibiscus salt rim
I am afraid to try this!!! I need to, though! I tried a margarita at the outside pavilion this past trip. Andy wants to eat at the restaurant inside. maybe then...
I am not a hummus fan but I tried this anyway and it wasn't bad! I find hummus......pasty? Like the consistency makes it seem as if it's falling apart in my mouth. This didn't do that which I guess I don't know is good or bad but for me it was good. It actually didn't taste like hummus at all to me The cherries made it a bit sweet and the pita chips were really good. The easiest way to eat it was to scoop some out on to the chips with the fork but it was really windy so we both kept getting mouthfuls of hair, too. Hair hummus. Sorry.
We didn't try too many foods at the festival. We did the same, past by alot of them as well. I wanted to try these, but each had something we don't like/can't eat. This one, had pine nuts, which I can't eat.
Mediterranean Flat Bread with za’atar, olive oil artichoke, olives, mozzarella and feta cheese
I took a picture but it came out so dark and crappy it's not worth posting and I can't seem to find one anywhere but it was GOOD. I love olives and whatever kind were on here tasted like Kalamata. Not even sure what za'atar is and too lazy to look it up, but we both liked this even better than the hummus so we were happy with our decision to try this booth.
And then this had olives and we both HATE olives. But Za' tar is a nice spice mix, I have jar of it here at home. (also too lazy to go get it out of the cabinet) but it is great to use on chicken, not too spicy or anything.
Embrace the Arak: Massaya Arak, Orange Juice and Grenadine
I'd never had nor heard of this before but Cathy had and she's telling me it's strong. She also asks the CM "aren't you supposed to mix it with something?" and he says no no, it's fine. Well as you can see they were selling it mixed with OJ and Grenadine but I got my free shot straight and it went down like black licorice someone had set afire.
I would def NOT like that. Wonder what it tastes like mixed with OJ and Grenadine.
I know it's bad, just proving we rode. The wait said 35 which is still longer than I care to wait for FEA but I knew it couldn't really be that long and it wasn't. We were on in 13 minutes
What is up with the wait times? It seemed like everything had high wait times and I felt like a lot were actually lower wait. Are they trying to make it a nice surprise that you didn't wait as long as it says?
