My now husband proposed to me after being together for less than 2months. Had a 4 month engagement only because I wanted to get married in the spring. Been together almost 10years. When you know- YOU KNOW. Congrats

That’s pretty much our story too and 22yrs later it’s still awesome!!

Ok folks, it’s Day 5 of the Christmas Recipe Bonanza

A Very Popular Sweet - Awwamat

This was and is still my favorite recipe as a little kid. My mother would mix all the ingredients and we would sit on the floor with a big pot of oil boiling and she would let me put a spoon in the dough and get some and drop into the oil. Once it got light brown we would take it out and drain it and then dip it into a bowl of homemade syrup (attar) and eat it hot- I would eat and eat till I got a stomach ache, but it was worth it- so much better then the American doughnut. ~Rita

Awwamat

INGREDIENTS
2 cups flour
4 tablespoons cornstarch
1⁄4 ounce dry yeast
1⁄4 teaspoon sugar
1 1⁄4 cups water
1⁄4 teaspoon salt
2 cups syrup (attar)
oil (for deep frying)


DIRECTIONS
  • Mix flour, salt, and cornstarch.
  • Dissolve yeast in 1/4 cup of water and sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoons sugar.
  • Add yeast mixture and 1 cup of water to flour and cornstarch. Beat well until smooth. (Batter should have the same consistency as pancake mix). Set aside one hour to rise.
  • Heat oil in a deep-frying pan on medium to high heat
  • Dip a tablespoon in water and pick up a small portion of the batter and slowly drop it into the hot oil. Repeat until all the batter is used.
  • Fry until light brown. Remove and dip in prepared cold attar (syrup).
  • Serve while hot.

Attar is one cup sugar to ½ cup water cook like a light syrup and if you like add a drop of rose or orange blossom water for taste.

Enjoy!

We get deliveries to our house daily except on Sundays. Well, usually anyway. Our regular postie seems to have Monday as his day off and if there's nobody to cover then we get no mail.
Do your posties leave elastic bands everywhere they go?
I have a collection of dozens of them that I have picked up in my street and in the local area that the posties just drop on their rounds, and that's only in the last few months.
Family members say they also pick them up in their areas so it's quite widespread here.
I don't know if they leave a trail in case they get lost, so that they can follow them back to the depot but it's not very environmentally friendly!
I am going to post them back to them when I have enough but I think offenders should do a long stretch in prison!

A late hello and goodnight from me.
I'm in the middle of catching up but only made it to page 6330.
Must be off to bed now but will try to read earlier and faster tomorrow.
Nos da and happy Thursday to you all!

I don't recall having that problem around these parts. The mail in my post office box isn't really bundled together. My parents have a traditional mailbox at the farm, but I don't think theirs gets banded together either.

You'd think they'd burn through enough rubber bands to reuse them, to bundle mail together temporarily until it's ready to be delivered, then remove it (and retain it) just before delivering the mail.

Do they ever complain about their budget with the Royal Mail? Maybe you could all post your collections of elastic bands to their accounting section... They can find ways to stretch the budget elsewhere!
