Turkish Brunch

So met up with the office gang for brunch at the Turkish Kitchen. A reservation seems to be a must, besides the line at the buffet counters were very long but things got moving. The main courses and desserts were really good. (more below the fold)

There were a lot of salads and middle eastern spreads, but then the main courses were lamb kabobs, grilled fish and the desserts were definitely delicious. All for about $28 with tax and tip.

From there we went to see W. (a life misunderestimated). Somehow I really like this word, and no sarcasm intended. The movie could have been much better, more serious. This seemed like an SNL skit. Condi Rice is shown as a complete retard, much of the dialogue although out of place are actually correct quotations. Overall, I'll give it a C grade, probably will never watch it again (unlike 13 days or even JFK was better), but sort of movie to see to end the Bush era. But in the end, these days one almost feels sorry for the guy, just waiting to retire. And the appearance of Palin on the scene somehow makes him look like a cuddly bear in comparison.

While passing by the Barnes and Nobles in Union Square noticed that Batali and Paltrow will be signing their Spain on the Road Again on Wed. I should get the video and the book, and maybe some pics.

Now off to cooking crab curry.
