Lamb in tajine is amazing. Lamb brochette (skewered meat, barbecued) is fantastic. But the cutlets eaten today in a small town outside Meknes is something I will never forget. Ever. These cutlets are cut directly from the lamb that’s hanging on hooks right in front of you. So in other words, it’s fresh. The guy stands there with his big knife and cuts off what you desire. Then the butcher chops it all up for you in the cut you request. Then the waiter brings it by to show you before it’s barbecued. Then the Moroccan salad arrives along with some olives from the region (Meknes is famous for its olives and olive oil). All this along with bread to sop up extra juices along the way. As if all of this isn’t enough! Then the guy delivers the freshly cooked lamb and you think to yourself that there’s no way you’ll ever be able to eat that pile of just-meat. Especially after the salad and olives and the ubiquitous bread. But then you take the first bite of the crispy-fat and the succulent meat and you’re hooked. I can guarantee that. It is a flavor that I will not forget and that I’m afraid I am now hooked on and will crave. Forever.

Fez and Dar Jnane

Dar Jnane, fez, gorgeous interior, guesthouse, medina, Morocco

There’s a guesthouse here in Fez that is spectacular. It’s called Dar Jnane. I think it’s cool that it’s sort of got my name. It’s in a quiet part of the medina so it is relatively peaceful. Aside from the gorgeous interior that has been restored to mostly (or a lot of) the 1700’s original, the terrace is beyond amazing! It’s large and tiled and has a main floor, stairs leading up to a mid-level that’s quite large, and a small third level big enough for a small table and a couple of chairs. And the view is beautiful.

The road to Fez

cloudy day, fez, moroccan countryside, Morocco, nature, travelling, weather

It was a cloudy and damp day. Unlike the Morocco I’ve known in the past. In fact, my hair gets curlier as the days go on. So un-Morocco. But photography is better without the sun. The sun becomes another character in the image to futz with so it’s almost easier without it.
