I had a dinner party yesterday and I’ve decided to make the salads myself. I was leafing through my cookbooks when I saw a recipe for a salad with popcorn as an ingredient. At first I was really? Then I thought why not? The salad recipe I found
The easiest thing to do as a Ramadan dessert is stuffed Qatayef. Every other co-op has a station producing the pancake like round qatayef dough and all you have to do is pick them up, take them home, stuff them then cook them.

Good Saturday morning! Even though I wish I had slept in today but we have more pressing matters to attend to this morning. Ikea are coming over to finalize our kitchen at last at 10 AM! So we are up and all I eanecan think of right now is whipping a batter of my cinnamon pancakes for [...]
