I haven’t updated this blog for a little bit. The reason: We’ve been busy eating. For the past two weeks or so we have been overwhelmed by the sheer volume of food available for consumption, courtesy of my mom’s cooking and a myriad of dinners that we’ve been invited to by friends and relatives.
A number of my parents’ friends that happen to live in our area have celebrated my parents’ arrival by feeding us copious quantities of wonderful Jordanian/Arabic food. All of my cravings from last year have been sated. So far I have savored Mansaf, Maglubeh, Warg Dawali, Knafeh, Ma3moul, among other delicacies.
We’ve really been humbled by the degree of generosity and kindness we have encountered. My parents were even invited to a dinner by Ajlounieh’s parents, whom they had never met before. Tonight, we are invited to dinner at Leilouta’s place. Arab generosity never ceases to amaze me.
so food has to fall into geo-political affiliations too? that’s the problem with some people..no offence to the respected person above..no wonder there’s political unrest west of the Jordan, some minds thrive on this being ours..and that being there’s
Mansaf, on the other hand..is ours..all of us.
Excellent, I love mansaf as well.
Natasha is a great cook – I can attest to that. And while I do not want to start up an East Bank – West Bank rivalry, she was pretty lucky to have a great Mansaf, too! Our family was lucky to have such great company over our house. We had a wonderful time 🙂
Khodlak 3ad, ballashna 3onsorieh bil akel kaman, knafeh nabilsieh willa mansaf urdoni shu farga 3indak ilmohim kollo zaaki. Willa hadak, I dont know about arab generosity.
Still eating?
Well..its interesting to have my first visit to your blog coincide with a big feast..although only visually for us..that sfee7a looks good by the way..hmmm..I think I need to go get myself a bite!
Wow, you are lucky to have all these great Palestinian meals well except for mansaf which is Jordanian I guess, but lucky to MaQloubeh, WaraK Dawali, Nabulsi Knafeh
Fantastic really
El muhim, t3allamti totbokhi ishi? shorabet 3adas mathalan?
Arab generosity ! I doubt it strongly; but hospitality and generosity in this area, big yesss.
Wow the food look excellent.
