Keeping Up With the Joneses: Khachapuri - -

Weekends in Moscow mean exploring Moscow as a family. During the week, while I am by myself with the kids, we don't venture out too far. We stick to basic needs like the grocery store and the parks {to avoid or relieve cabin fever}. We have only been here 3 weekends now and the first two were more about getting to know our surroundings and the surroundings of our potential permanent apartments.

Well, today was a little different. We did do the park thing in the morning with the kids {and the much needed Starbucks run}, but this evening we planned on beginning the exploration of the abundant culinary options available to us in this big city. As usual, A began researching earlier in the week using our trusted friend Tripadvisor {it has never failed us!}. We have already eaten at #1 in Moscow, so he went down the list some and found Хачапури {Khachapuri}. He even printed the english menu and brought it home so we could look it over and start thinking about what to order :)

Ever since reading the menu, my mouth has been watering thinking about eating here! We have had a few good meals since moving here, but overall I am usually hungry and longing for food from back home. The same goes for the kids, especially S, who can't get over the fact that they don't really have mac n cheese here {except the overpriced boxes at Stockmann}.

So back to Khachapuri.....it is Georgian food. I don't know much about Georgian food, but I do know there is a lot of cilantro and cheese bread involved - YUM! I look forward to going back! Maybe I can convince A to make it a weekly tradition :). If you ever come visit us we will definitely take you here!

So here are a few pictures of some of what we ate (sorry about the quality, they are phone pictures).
