Tamara and I would love to have anybody come and meet up with us next weekend here in Houston! Friday would be great for me!

I have an extra couple couches for anybody who would like to fly/greyhound/drive in and hang out for the weekend!

I would like to recommend Dimassi's Jordanian Buffet coz it's my favorite and hubster refuses to go there just for me coz the cooks are not Jordanian. Breaking fast there is really cool (gotta get there a bit early tho coz I think every muslim in Houston goes there at Maghreb during Ramadan lol)

Visa approved-December 2005, 1 week later after supplying "more information"

Arrived U.S.A.-December 2005

Removed Conditions-September 2008

Good morning MENA!

Hey Maureen, I'll trade ya! :D I'd love some rain.

Day 6 of fasting here. Can't believe how well and quickly it's going, alhamdulillah.

Congrats to all the ladies who've received positive results on their interviews, I'm really happy for all of you. (F)

Everyone have a fantabulous day! :star:

sure!you can take all my rain and when the snow is here, you have that too! :P

*cough* if you give ur snow to anybody..it'd better be me....!!! :whistle: I take rain and hail too!! ANYTHING other than the hot stuff!!!

Tamara...I'm off Fri-Sun next week so Friday afternoon sounds just fantabulous to me! Bring the hubster so I can bring my boys and we can break fast together :D We really like a place called "Hafez" on Westheimer and (i think) grey falls??? They serve fantastic and realistically priced persian food! The best lamb skewers around!

My favorite is Dimassi's and I'm totally up for that if u are! It's a Jordanian buffet and nom nom nom sooooooooo good. Hubster doesn't like it coz the chefs are mexican and he swears that just due to their ethnicity....the food is not "real Jordanian"...so if u wanna go as a group...I'm already there!!!

I saw Dimassis in a book that I had and I showed it to Adam and we wanted to go eat there too! Adam works all those nights at 10pm so Im not sure if he can make it or not, but I will mention it to him. My sister and I would come and she would probably bring her 2 little girls.

The best Dimassi's (imho) is the one on Kirkwood and I-10. (and they have [or at least had] a really cool fish tank) Maghreb is at around 750pm so I think he'd have enough time to eat, chat, and get full :D....

I'll bring hubster and my lil'man. I'm so excited!!!

Jax....u up for another page in "jackies journeys"????

If u start on HWY 6, u take westheimer and turn left on Kirkwood. Stay there till u reach I10. There's a gas station there...turn right and Dimassis is on the right hand side just a little bit up the road. easy peasy!
