I Love the Neighbours

Almost every other day this Ramadhan, just before futoor... we would hear a polite knock or ring of our front door. It would be someone from one of the houses on our street with a steaming pot or plate of their home cooking. Although the dishes are all similar to ones we make ourselves, I love sampling these generous tokens of our neighbours' friendship because the differences in preparation make me rediscover some of my favorite meals as if tasting them for the first time. I also feel like, in a way, I have been invited into their homes and given a glimpse into the culinary aspect of their lives :)

I Love *I Love Q8*

I love the fact that there are people who love this small, great country.

I love the fact that there are people who appreciate everything this country has to offer.
I love the fact that there are people who can see the beauty and the goodness of this country's people.

I love the fact that there are people who, like me, don't follow the adage that "il-khair ekhu9 wil shar e3im", but who take that phrase the other way 'round:

"il-khair ohwa illee y3im"

Finally, I hearby proclaim that I LOVE KUWAIT!

I Love Ramadan in Q8

Most people prefer to spend Ramadan in their own country, I'm one of those people.


Note: today is the first day of Girge'an, celebrating mid-Ramdan and treating kids with lots of candy in return for their singing door to door.
...oh and BTW, writing is not my forte.
