Pixelated Building

October 24, 2007 | 2:14 pm

I am trying to describe this, or give it contextual setting … but i can’t. All you need to know is: new building, under construction, highest point in Ramallah (..i think).

Building Front … Blue Sky

That open window ruined the shot :)

Best Burger Ever

October 15, 2007 | 5:15 pm

It seriously is nothing short of that!! The “Magnum Burger” at Chili Chili (rather an odd name if you ask me) is seriously one thick, juicy, delicious burger. I’ve tried burgers from various places ranging from the big chains (McD, BK, Hardee’s/Carl Jr, Wendy’s ..etc) to the more obscure places … but this one does win the challenge (IMHO).

M7ashee

October 6, 2007 | 5:15 pm

m7ashee

m7ashee 2

M7ashee, stuffed vegetables, is a (very delicious) traditional Palestinian/Levantine dish. The vegetables are usually carved and then stuffed with rice, some meat, and a dash of spices. The dish is cooked with a light tomato sauce and served hot.

The interesting thing is that people have used all sorts of vegetables in this dish. Besides the traditional Zucchinis and Egg Plants, some people stuff the following vegetables:

  • Green Peppers
  • Small Pumpkins (يقطين)
  • Potatoes
  • Cucumbers
  • Tomatoes (this is probably the hardest one)
  • Sweet Carrots (The purple ones)
  • فقوس (i don’t know what that is in English, but it looks like cucumbers)

Do you know of other vegetables that are also used in m7ashee ?

Radio Advertisements

October 4, 2007 | 7:30 am

I was just looking at the second section of Al-Ayyam newspaper, and i found it a bit odd (and funny) to see the following:

Radio Advertisements

 These are advertisements for 4 radio stations that were placed one after the other !! What was the rationale behind this. Maybe they all wanted to be on the first (colored) page of the second section ?? Eh … who knows !!
