This is going to be just a brief note (I promise more is coming soon) to describe several interesting things to happened to me this weekend, mostly involving going to visit Niveen's aunt. Hamada works on Saturdays, but Niveen and the kids and I spent most of the day there, with good results.
1) They were making filled pastries (with meat, cheese, spinach, or zattar) when I got there, which were excellent. They wouldn't let me help, but I got to watch, and I think if I knew how to make the dough and what the baking instructions are I could do the same thing.
2) The aunt's son is getting married in November, so we're going to his wedding! I'm super excited to get to go to a real Jordanian wedding.
3) A cousin somehow convinced Niveen that it would be a good idea to buy some fish for Yazan (they had a tank there and he was fascinated by it) so we now have a fishbowl with four fish in the kitchen. Knowing the delicate nature of most pet fish, I have serious questions about their long-term viability in our house, but we'll see. Expect samak updates in the days to come...
