for everyone

This little cutie pie is my nephew. His name is Mohammed Osama and is 7 months old. His mom came to visit and they stay all day long!

Sundays are a little difficult for me because I'm busy preparing the Online Tatting Class in Spanish. But I just had to keep an eye on him and play with him. Mona (his mom) cooked for us today. She made "mashi" (small cabbage rolls filled with species and rice), fried chicken, "murugheia" (a herb made into soup with garlic) and we drink also chicken stock. Everything was delicious!!!

As usually we gave her some stuff to take home and I gave her the shawl that I made a few weeks ago. She loves it! Now I have an excuse to make another. lol

Well, I finished the pattern of the Butterfly that will be discuss in the Tatting class in English and I still have 1 1/2 hrs before the Spanish class. Long day!!!! I think I'll eat some more "mashi". So yummy!!!

She made also a few peppers because I don't eat them, but hubby loves them.

I can taste them now, I may have to make some now. I can't do the cabage though I mess it up everytime. My favorite though is the eggplant

I also like the one with the grape leaves. That one I eat it in PR before I even met my 1st husband. :-)

My dad makes the one with cabbage and he puts ground beef with the rice, he makes them very well, but I'm a disaster in the kitchen!

I love fried peppers...sounds alot like stuffed cabbage

The grape leaves are ok but its not something I like to eat to much. My mother in law makes the stuffed potatos with ground beef. Those are sooooo good.

Lucky you, I so love Mashi and was so happy when my sisters in law showed me how to cook them. They actually use Kurums, not cabbage, it is much harder and needs to be boiled just to be pealed. If I can find this vegetable here I will make it for my family, I hear that it can be found in seasons but we must know where to geth them. Murugheia I didn't enjoy though. But those peppers, stuffed eggplants with garlic and hot peppers served with fool, it is so funny I don't know what it does to your stomach but it makes you feel drunked. After that you have to crash and sleep. I so miss it. That little boy is a real babe, he looks just like my nephew. Egyptians have beautiful babies.

marie those are a different type of peppers and eggplant. The ones we are talking about are stuffed with the same thing you stuff the cabbage. Its so good. I like the ones your talking about to.

oh right they call everything stuffed mashi over there. Those you're talking about are really lovely too, love the little twist cumin and cinnamon gives to it.

My husband family doesn't use cinnamon in the food though, but cumin for sure.
