Gollash Bel Lahma - a traditional Egyptian dish filled with spiced ground beef, lamb, or sometimes cheese and spinach. It is layered with butter, cut into squares, soaked in an egg and milk wash, and baked until golden brown and crispy.
Homemade chicken vegetable soup, roast chicken.
It is called Mashi (spelled as it sounds), which means stuffed. Stuffed zucchini or grape leaves or peppers. Small stuffed cabbage or as we call them back home... Cabbage rolls.
Roast duck
Beef bones full of marrow. Not my thing but my husband loves it.
Ramadan Kareem π
Just like Christmas, Ramadan is full of family dinners, spending time together, beautiful lights & decor and "giving rather than receiving". Dinner at the In-law's never disappoints.

Breakfast of Champions Egyptian style. Fava beans, known as Ful in Egypt, is a very traditional breakfast in Egypt. This version is Lebanese style complete with fresh bread and side veg. SO filling but dee-licious. No spoons or forks. Just rip the tasty bread and scoop/dip away.
Hellwa owie!! π

My favourite Egyptian breakfast.
Ful (fava beans), Egyptian bread (like pita but lighter), veggies and a few fries. Price = 50 Egyptian pounds = $1.40 cad
V Cola is Egyptian. No caffeine in this cola and it's tasty. π

A pair of small hands holding a beige envelope addressed in red crayon to "Santa Claus, North Pole, HOH OHO". The return address in the top left reads "123 Main St, Anytown, A1A 1A1 ON". A small stamp is in the top right corner. A pink crayon lies on the dark table nearby, with another child's drawing partially visible in the background.
When a few Canada Post employees in Vancouver started answering letters to Santa in the early-1970s, it eventually led to the most famous postal code in Canada.
H0H 0H0.
Each year, thousands of letters to Santa from around the world are answered.
This is the story.
