hi

nope, haven't tried molokheya yet, but i did finally try some fetir and it was super sweet and scrumptious... so fetir is what i'd like to call an egyptian pizza which comes in sweet or savory choices...
so we got one with honey and butter and another one with fruit (apple, banana, coconut)... they were definitely high on the sweet scale, but were really good... the 'crust' is kinda like croissant'ish and filo-dough'ish... flaky and buttery and soft...

my interview got postponed until monday cus tomorrow (sunday) is a national holiday here.

apparently vacuum bags are unheard of here.  supposedly, they just empty out the existing bag and reuse it.  kinda nasty...

Manaoomti and i had our first arabic lesson yesterday evening.  he taught me the alphabet and then i read a few words he wrote.  it will probably take some time, but i'm hopeful that soon i'll be able to read it.  i tried to write the letters and they come out so ugly... need practice on that too, but most importantly is to be able to read it.
