Salt Lake City: Cedars of Lebanon


Because of the Easter holiday, my parents are visiting my husband and I this week. It's beautiful here this time of year: The weather is becoming warm and springy, and the flowers and trees are blooming. My husband is being confirmed at our parish at the Easter Vigil Mass, so my parents thought they'd take the trip out to visit us. They've never been to Utah before, and it's also the first time they've visited us since we've gotten married last May. We took advantage of their visiting us to show them to Temple Square and to listen to the Mormon Tabernacle Choir, whose rehearsals are open to the public. Beforehand, though, we had dinner at Cedars of Lebanon, which I highly recommend. 


We started with baba ghanouj, a puree of toasted eggplant mixed with lemon juice, garlic, tahini, and olive oil):



We also tried itch (pronounced EEtch), an Armenian speciality made from bulgur wheat, tomatoes, and lemon juice:

I tried the lamb tagine:

And for dessert, chocolate cake:
