Salwa, you should come on down. Maashy is the one Egyptian dish I mastered. I can't find the grape leaves (which is my favorite) but I do ok with the cabbage. Tastes exactly like Moh's mother's and my kids love it.

They sell grapeleaves in jars in most arabic stores. Ihave even seen them in Safeway lately by the olives. They don't taste as good as fresh, but they are quite good.

shhhhh let's keep them guessing

It's almost like the aseeda from Yemen only Yemenis don't eat theirs as a dessert. Yemeni aseeda is made with bulgur wheat that boiled then self rising flour or Jiffy baking mix is added. It's served with soup made with either chicken or lamb (basically just the broth is used), helba, and zhug. I miss that soooo much! YUMMY!!

We actually ate ours as breakfast (in the morning not in the evening to break fast)

The Yemeni style sounds really good too.... got a recipe???

But you have an excuse to be having cravings right? Didn't I read in another post that you're expecting?

Date syrup?

Do you have a natural foods or health foods store nearby? You might find it there.

I have never thought of that... might be something to check out later... for now I got someone sending me some thank God!!!! and thank you! (I don't want to name the person in case it's not something they want advertised)

Yeah, no one wants a reputation as a syrup dealer.

Well that's not what I was thinking

I will check it out here in DZ Layla...what are you trying to make anyway?

I swear if it wasn't physically impossible I would swear I was pregnant

I've been craving a dish my husband fed me in Egypt for almost a year now and I'm going to go insane if I can't make it.

Anywho.... I need date syrup to make it and I don't have a ME/NA store here in my lil town and I've looked online BUT the only place I can find it is in the UK and they want to charge me like $40 to ship a $10 case here. That's unreal!

I know some of you girls live near those stores and I am BEGGING someone to buy me some date syrup and mail it to me... I'll pay all the charges... either I'll wire you the money or send a check or however you want! Surely it won't cost $40 bucks to mail it within the US right???

It's ok ya ukhti... someone is sending me some already but shukran anyway!

See the recipe I added later for the dish I'm making inshallah... I'm so excited I'm going to be thinking about this all day while I'm fasting now

Jean I can make it I just don't know the name of the component of Mashi in English Can you write it to me so I can buy it and I will look for cabbage "I love it too" or grape leaves ..I will be deeply graetful for that

Thnak you

Are you anywhere near Dearborn? They have really good mahshi Cedarland and other restaurants in the area. It doesn't quite compare to the mahshi my MIL makes but it's acceptable and I'm sure far tastier than anything bought at Walmart.

Salwa,

I will but I want to email you after I get home from work tonight to be sure I don't forget something. Now if you don't get an email from me, message me here and remind me. My memory can be full of holes sometimes.
