Happy Sunday everyone ! Just returned from Blockbuster with "American East" (Two Clashing Cultures ~ One American Dream!)

Can someone suggest me a good movie to watch this weekend ??? It may be humor,thriller,sentiment, anything.


Hmmm...I guess it depends on the mood you are in. I watched Beverly Hills Chihuahua and it was just what I needed it to be for the kind of day I was having, yet some ppl will think it's pretty silly. I also watched Flash of Genius, the true story starring Greg Kinnear as the Engineer who took on Ford Motor company in the 60's for stealing his invention. I liked that one alot...inspiring kicking.gif kicking.gif I did not really care for Rachel getting married, I would like to have some other opinions on that one. Wow ! I should be sick more often to keep caught up on my movies blink.gif

I would pay a hundred bucks for a true amman shawerma sandwich....Nothing I have had in the states compares to how they cook it in jordan....mmmm with homemade mayo cole slaw and french fries...topped of with an ice cold pepsi....all for the low low price of 2.5 dinars


I didnt have any in Amman, but I had homemade and in Irbid. I had hands on teaching from the pro. smile.gif
I just tried it last week, and you know what? It was pretty damn good, if I do say so myself! heh

But what I would REALLY like.. I crave everyday since I left?.. feteh made with lamb. If I could get a good recipe.. I would be a happy woman


What is this lamb dish? any similarities to Mrouziya (honey-spiced lamb) traditionally served during Aid el Kebir?

I find myself longing for that delicious mint tea, Harira made with love, shish kabobs and Tagine of Marrakesh, the fish made by the family. Hababi and I frequently visited those outdoor places that serve roasted lemon chickens, salad, fries, and bread of course for dipping (my mouth is starting to water) for 20 dirham !


I especially miss the way eating was an event to be savored just like the food ! rose.gif

Middle East and North AfricaRendition
This was a disturbing film on so many levels eb0dfafc.gif

What stood out to me was that it took the new kid on the block (Jake) to realize the absolute absurdity of this situation ! He was practically speechless when he was releasing his captive, as if he still could not believe what he had participated in, and watching someone admit to crimes as their only way to freedom! This poor man had lived in the US for 20 years!

Just a sad reminder that because of the nature of our relationships, we will continue to face this type of scrutiny, prejudice and flat out ignorance!

Julianna ~ Are you Christian? just curious. If so, do you believe that Christianity is the only path to God? This topic has been surfacing for me from friends, pastors, etc... "How can you profess to be a Christian and marry a Muslim?" I believe we love and serve the same God and that our marriage will be honored. We have discussed our differences, and respect each other's beliefs. I'd like to keep this a friendly discussion. However in the true spirit of VJ ~ let the flaming begin whistling.gif

Oprah actually is a Christian, which was surprising to me as she does not usually advertise her faith. She shared this statement with a world-wide audience in the first on line class discussing the book, "A New Earth." by Eckhart Tolle. She shared, "I am a free-thinking Christian who believes there are many more paths to God than Christianity." ~ Oprah

I would never go back in summer unless it was absolutely necessary. I didn't tolerate the heat (or mosquitos) well! Even in Marrakech, although drier ~ still pretty freakin hot ! unsure.gif I think we traveled on the newer trains because they were very comfortable. One advantage to the heat, it suppressed my appetite! Whenever I tried to fix my hair or apply makeup, it would just melt right off laughing.gif
