Taiyyaba – thanks for taking me back to Darra’. I remember every moment of it. The Al-Zoubi’s were simply fantastic hosts. There was nothing but family love all around! I never wanted to come back. From young to old – they treated us like family and more. AND the food was simply out of this world! I was physically there (as you can see in some pictures) and you made me feel as if I am eating all that right now – yum yum yum. And the sips of Shai (tea) capped every thing. When are we going back?????? Not to have another Nikah but simply to visit and sit around the medda and EAT EAT EAT EAT!
Love you and Ameir and the Zoubi’s. You are the best.

Man.. that looks awesome. I’ll bet everything tasted great. Hopefully I can visit Syria one day. Syrians are cool, especially this one named Ameir.

PS. I LOL’ed at the liver story.

I once had a Syrian suhoor after a night of qiyaam at my friend’s house–i had no idea the treat i was in for–dishes and dishes of zaatar, hummus, aieeesh, olive oil, chai, foul, mmmm . . .

then a blissfully full, fast-ready tummy as we prayed fajr.
