Thank You! You answered exactly what I was asking.....

I have always known he was not going to ever eat pork....NO problem.
All of my family is aware, that for family gatherings...NO pork and again...NO problem.
The original agreement was, I would prepare two different things, if one of the items contained pork (different pans, the whole thing)...again, NO problem.

I think his issue is he has been thinking about it now.....and it is making him have anxiety, he has never been around it, and thinks possibly, I have it daily (not even close).

Yes! I have found a halal market, did that one months ago. I will be shopping there.

Thank you MrsAmera! Spot on!

There are numerous things that contain pork products - you really have to read everything. This was something my husband and I were very clear on but more importantly my family was clear with. I too grew up eating lots and lots of pork and my family still does, but they understand that we do not and now for the most part respect that. This is especially important with what they do or do not give to our children. My oldest know knows that he shouldn't eat pork but of course the 2 yr has no clue. As for how you deal with it, well you just do. There are plenty of substitutes for most things, be it chicken, turkey or beef or tofu. I agree that not all of it tastes the same as the real thing but I guess that's just a sacrifice. (P.S. Trader Joe's has tofu chorizo that is pretty spot on - except is the crumbly kind). You may also want to find out if your husband will require to eat only halal meat (i.e. not your run of the mill meat products) because this can also be a big issue if you don't live near any halal stores.

WOW! Let's not go there!

1. This is MY husband you are speaking of...you do not know him, so back it up a bit.
2. He has asked very little of ME, compared to what he is sacrificing, in order to have a life with me.

Let's stay on topic.....I asked for details on what the taboo is on pork, so I can understand it better...to determine what decision I should make that is best for OUR marriage.

QUOTE (Hoomsfuturewife @ Oct 24 2008, 02:32 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Any meat, not just pork can contain parasites, fat, etc. So can vegetables or anything else for that matter.

I think it's kind of silly to follow every little thing in a book written by men 1000yrs ago.

My SO and all his Iranian friends like pork. As soon as they get out of Iran the first things they want to do is whatever is forbidden in Iran. So whenever they visit I have to stock up on booze and pork and make sure we go bar hopping and to rock concerts.

Me personally, I'm not and never will be muslim but I still don't like the taste of pork. It's ok in sausage but pork chops make me want to gag. I think the look/texture of pork resembles people flesh too much.

And I don't think you should have to give up anything just because of your husband. Is he an insecure child? He's choosing to marry an American and move to the states so it is his responsibility to adapt to a new country and culture. If you start giving up one, two or three things you like now, then he will expect you to give up 20 things and before you know it your whole identity/personality is gone. If it's a muslim from his own country he wanted then that's what he should have married. I will never understand these girls that sacrifice their whole identity for a controlling little fraction of a man.

Sorry...the topic is probably making you feel like that smiley!!

Okay....so it is about 55 minutes until Friday....and thought I would begin a topic of conversation about ... PORK!

Yes, that is correct:

This little piggy went to market.....
There once were 3 little pigs.....

So tonight my husband asked something of me. Keep in mind, he has only asked 2 other things...both being very important to him: 1) I not drink alcoholic beverages (so now I just smell them..LOL) and 2) I do not swim in a public pool where men would be at.

Now #3...please do not eat pork anymore, or at the VERY least do not cook it in the house. I asked for an explanation and this is what I got:

1. It is in the Qoran
2. It is against his culture
3. Pigs eat bad things
4. When he thinks of me and the kids eating it, it makes him feel "far" from us

Okay, so I somewhat understand it, but my brain works like this....I NEED DETAIL; I do not do well with vague.

In the last year, I have already cut our pork consumption down by 80%... I have been substituting turkey for SOOO many things (turkey bacon, turkey ham, etc....). OH did I mention I am half Spanish?? I was basically raised teething on a Pork Chop bone! Seriously! We use pork as our main meat. By 7 I was making tortillas, Green Chili and Beans! I can quite honestly have no problem with not cooking it anymore...but giving up Green Chili ( I tried using beef...not even close!)?? I just do not know guys!

This is silly right?? That I am even asking this??

So...my question is this: Why is Pork such taboo in Islam and as a person from Arabic descent? Again, NEED details ... in order to get it around my brain.

Thank You!!

The MENA Sultan's Kitchen Cookbook

Totally love this idea!!! I like Nawal's suggestion: A Journey thru Sultan's Kitchen.

I will send you the recipe for my MIL's Moroccan chicken (unless you want me to post on the thred...let me know!!)

$20.00 is really fair!

Let me know if you need any help.....D-vette (LOL)

QUOTE (amal @ Oct 21 2008, 09:44 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>

The recipes are coming along well. I am not sure who did and who didn't post a copyrighted recipe. What I've done so far is post EXACTLY what was posted in the pinned thread, edit spelling errors (a couple I wasn't sure so I left them exactly as they were), put quotes on some items that the poster originally stated, put the date the recipe was originally posted, and leave the name of the book/chef the recipe was taken from. I think that should be ok, don't you all think?
So far it is only something I'm doing for the MENA forum but I am including all the recipes that were submitted...coz they are recipes that the MENA girls have tried, used, and recommended. I think they might be interesting gifts for relatives and/or co-workers who are interested in MENA recipes and/or other tried and true recipes from ur friends. I've got about 50 or so recipes copied down so far and have only gotten to page 30 of Sultan's Kitchen.

In this thread, I'm looking for ideas for names for the cookbook. I'd like to keep it VJ related coz this is where it began. So far, I've thought about...
Sultan's Kitchen
VJ's MENA Cookbook - Direct from the Sultan's Kitchen
Sultan's Kitchen - A taste of ME/NA
Sultan's Pocket Recipes

These are just some ideas. Please help me out to find the most fun name for our MENA cookbook.

I'd also like to add that I will be adding recipes up until about the 1st week of November so if you have a recipe you want to add, please do so ASAP so I can get it into the book. Whatever recipes you all use a lot in ur homes will be accepted. ME/NA type recipes are, of course, preferred since it IS a MENA cookbook (for the most part)

If you want to quote a recipe from somewhere, please leave the information on who/what/where you got the recipe so credit can be given where credit is due.

I will be using the VJ screen name of the person that posted the recipe AND the date of which it was posted. If you do not want your VJ name used, please let me know so I can change ur name to "unknown".

If you know some ppl that used to play in MENA and are not regular posters anymore, feel free to contact them and see if they'd be interested in a copy as well. I will be needing addresses too but not right now. I'll wait until I'm a bit further with the project before I take that information.

What price would you all feel is fair? $25? $20? 15?

Ok, that is enough from me for now. leave any feedback here and I'll do my best to consider every recommendation.

Thanks everyone!

Anyone know a really good Immigration Attorney??

My daughter Toree and her husband Rachid have had the WORST time with immigration!

They filed for a K1 visa and it was sent back to USCIS, where it expired (02/09).

She went to Morocco again in Dec 08 and they were married Jan. 09. She returned and they filed for the CR1....all the processing went smoothly. He was given an interview on 08/05, where it went smoothly until the interviewer (the male this time), noticed that my husband and Rachid are brother's. They then brought in a Moroccan gentleman who repeatedly told Rachid is was not halal to marry the daughter of his brother. Rachid tried in vain to explain that she is not, that there is only an 8 year difference in age between Toree and Said...but he said he could not make a decision, and would need to consult the Consular. All of our family and friends then sent emails and letters to the consulate and to the Governor of Colorado, the senator and our congressmen/women. They called him back on Tuesday where they told him:

Man Olive....I felt like you were just writing about me and Simo!!!! The other night when we were going to bed he commented on how things are so much better now. The one thing that continuously comes up for me is this, COMMUNICATION is key!! You will mean something one way, and will be understood as something TOTALLY different.

I learned quick to explain in a way he would understood. Each month he got it a little more, and now he doesn't automatically assume the wrong thing, he steps back and verifies it.

Even though are still issues and the rollercoaster takes an additional ride every so often, all the "family" things we have created with our son make up for it. We love spending the afternoon in the mountains, or at the park playing soccer. THOSE days make it ALL worth it!!!!

OK Jax....here is your emergency survival adjustment prep list: most of the journey will of course be blissful

but for those other times here you go 1. A garden or simular area to retreat to full of flowers and pretty things (a blow off steam area if you will

) 2. Some form of sleep aide that knocks you out when you won't let up on an issue and he just can't seem to get your point

. 3. A really high stack of pillows or matresses...just something to pound on instead of him

. 4. If you don't already know how..learn to meditate or be able to clear your mind. 5. (maybe this should be #1) Make a promise to yourself that no matter what happens, no matter how bad an issue might seem, you will not think of quiting during the first 12 mos. Because i am positive that by the 12th month you will level out like most of us. Sorry if I make this look rough to some people reading this but.....I have seen this rollercoaster happen...and it's usually worth it if you ride it out LOL.....

Hello All!

Hope this Monday finds each and everyone of you VERY well!

I have a question (to add to my many many

):

My husband has his degree in Information Technology Management (basically he is a computer geek..

).

When he first arrived last November, we thought "No Problem"...apply and he will get something; that was totally NOT the case. One year later he is working in Property Management with me and at a restaurant.

He wants to go back to school, to add an additional IT degree, but we are not sure where to start.

Are there any government programs that will help him with school?

Do we complete the FAFSA, and then if so, what do we use for previous year's income, it was only 1 month's worth?

Any suggestions or advice is GREATLY appreciated...as always!

Yvette

If your husband has his GC then he can qualify for Pell Grant and student loans. When you fill out the FAFSA you will include both your incomes from the previous yr. My husband has a 3 yr technical certificate in computer science in Algeria and is in his second year studying computer networking here in the US. He qualified for full pell grant that has paid for everything including books. Ask the college your husband wants to go to, what evaluation service they require you to use. He will have to get his university transcript evaluated before they will let him attend. We used World Education Services(WES) http://www.wes.org/ because that is what Hachemi's college told us they accepted. If I remember correctly, Pell grant is for undergraduate programs. If his degree evaluates into a bachelors degree he may not can qualify. You wont know until his degree is evaluated. I think he can still get student loans either way.
Good luck.

The telephone rates there are so bad. If he gets my voice mail on my phone that is it, his money on his phone is gone. And becasue he is not working at this point in time he can not even call me, just can not afford the 15 dirhams a minute. And recently the phone comp has not been running any deals. So I was wondering if you guys know of any international calling cards they can use in morocco to help be able to call out of morocco and not cost so much. I have looked but not been able to find what i am looking for, besides a AT&t calling card. What do your fiances and husbands do while waiting to come to the US and call you???? Should i just get a magic jack, i know that is a choice.

Thank you everyone for your responses....

You know one other thing....in all this, I had some pretty horrible things happen this year with my family: I had an uncle diagnosed with terminal cancer, and while dealing with his cancer his wife my beloved aunt passed away. It was devastating to us all!! My husband totally stepped in and took care of everything for us here at home and helped with funeral arrangements, made sure my cousins and uncle were okay....when it was all over, I was sitting home one night and I suddenly realized for the first time ever, I wasn't alone! Everything wasn't up to me to fix or get through alone...I turn around, and there he is! THAT has been the most amazing part of this year, no matter what I turn around and Said is there!

The First Year...

Hello All!

It is Sunday night...almost the start of a new week, and I was wondering about everyone's first year actually living with one another....no more computers, no more webcams, no more Skype, International long distance calls...just husband and wife ACTUALLY living together: The Good (hope it is mostly this), the Bad and the Ugly - you know NORMAL married life!

We are coming up on one year Nov. 7th, and was just wondering how it is/was for everyone.

We had a pretty harsh 1st three months, especially the first month until my husband found work (think really big roller coaster ride...lots of ups and downs - that was definitely US!

) We knew the cultural and religious differences would be hard to adjust to, but did not KNOW how hard they would be. After that is was just getting to know what it is like to live with someone, and their quirks and "must haves" and "Do not do's"... that kind of thing. At one point at about the third month, I was actually MISSING the nights on the computer, when it was still the "Honeymoon phase" - I know you all remember that time!

Teaching him about how things are done here was actually fun - he did not resist it soo much, and since he is pretty independent he ventured out quite a bit. The first time I had to go find him after he got lost on the bus was funny....I asked him where he was and he gave me the name of a credit union and that was it....I had to look it up; there he was sitting on a planter waiting for me like it was the most natural thing! He had his driver's license and car within 2 months of getting here, so the bus thing did not last very long, but that is not to say the getting lost thing didn't!

I knew my husband was ULTRA responsible, but I had no idea the extreme it went to. If he knows anyone has an issue or problem, he immediately tries to fix it for them. It is one of the many things I love about him, yet I worry about him too. He tends to always put himself last. He goes silent on me (drives me CRAZY

)...he doesn't yell or argue, and I do not need like to fight, but I definitely need to settle things quick. I do not sit on issues and let them fester, and I get over things quick...he is totally the opposite. He can go days and days without saying a word!

Now, we just have this ordinary married life, saving to buy a house and hopefully send our son to Morocco with my mother-in-law when she returns there in a few weeks. So....now we are about to end our first year together in Colorado and am looking forward to each day (other than the silent ones!

)

So tell me about yours.....can't wait to hear from you all!

For those who have MENA spouses already in the USA.

I myself lost weight when im getting those documents for my K1 Fiance petition. I cant eat well thinking about those documents, your fiance abroad, and the forthcoming interview from the US Embassy in the Philippines, theres a lot of pressure, and my fiance even booked me a ticket when im not even interviewed yet, that creates a lot of stress to me specially hearing about Filipina's being denied during the interview. But now im here in the US, its a diffrent story... i gained that weight i've lost and gained even more.. hahahhahaha. I guess my mind is at ease now knowing my husband is beside me, even though were still on the process of filing my permanent status here, i take it lightly now knowing i everything will be fine as long as you follow all the instructions needed on filing papers.

It really scares me so much and I'm so worried .

I know that every case is different then the other . and what happened to someone maybe it wont happen to me .
I was checking the DHL site earlier and it seems like the embassy sent me the interview letter and maybe i will get it morrow.
I hope that everything will work out good for me and for my fiancee .
I'm running around like a chicken with my head cut off and trying to get ready for the interview as much as i can .
Pray for us guys .
Good luck and my best wishes for everyone who is waiting to hear good news .
