| The BAND at St. David Armenian Church Mardi Gras dance! |
 |
| Guess who?? |
My sister, brother-in-law, Doug and I enjoyed an Armenian-style Mardi
Gras dance at St. David Armenia Church in Boca Raton last night. The musical
entertainment was great (can’t miss with John Berberian, Leon Janikian, Ken
Kalajian, Mike Gregian – and, of course singer, Khatchig Jingirian!). Homemade mezzas and
desserts were delicious, and the company was so much fun!
We’re recovering slowly today from the event, but are
keeping the Lenten season, which begins tomorrow, in mind.

I’m starting off with a really easy vegetable
recipe that’s served as a side dish, and can be made anytime – in minutes!
