Mom was right! Breakfast is the most important meal



Mood: Super, SUPER busy
Craving: more time

Morning brunch. It's comforting to know that a husband can still make his wife happy. May Allah (God) reward him for all his patienceLOVE, understanding and  generosity.. Ameen.


He surprised me and brought me brunch

  We eat very simple brunches in the house. On Fridays and Saturdays we have big ones. Some Arabic bread, Kiri cheese, jam  and chai haleeb (tea with milk, which they also call Karak).  You can see the tea in the picture below. It's amazingly delicious. I make some really good homemade bread, too.  Some of my friends back in Texas wanted to see how we eat breakfast here in the middle east. So, here you are. 


Breakfasts here compared to breakfasts in TEXAS are kinda different.  I do admit at least once a month I will cook up a GREAT Tex-Mex breakfast. It usually will consist of some meat,  Papas con huevos (eggs with potatoes), jalapeno Chili and re-fried beans. Oh. and you can't forget my homemade tortillas..

For the non-TEXANS, we usually eat the BIG breakfasts on Sunday. My dad or my husband would go right across the street from our house, and bring back some Barbacoa and corn tortilla's and big red soda with some salsa (hot sauce.) 



Some of the best places to eat in Texas are those hole-in-the-wall Mexican restaurants where they know your whole family. All this talk about food is making me hungry. I'm drooling until I make my Tex-Mex breakfast again. 

Final whisper: I updated after all and got it over with... Until next time.. back to some family time. Everyone have a GREAT weekend!!! ours has started. <3
