Today is the first day on our schedule which I finally created last week. So far, so good. I even planned computer time for me! So here I am. :-)
My daughters have cameras now, so I actually have pictures!! Here the kids are enjoying Saudi Arabian coffee with Rakan. His family sent the gorgeous coffee pot and small cups you see in the picture as well as all the supplies to make coffee. The beans are light colored, and they add saffron and cardamom to the coffee as well. Delicious!
Rakan treated us to Saudi food twice. The rice is beautiful and flavorful - there are raisins and cloves in it, and some spices to add flavor and color, making a rainbow of light orange, pink and white - add a little of the fiery hot sauce and wow!! We also had several lamb, chicken and vegetable dishes.
The pastries you see (for dessert) are SO tasty! It's a very flaky crust with pistachios and honey (I think!)
