When I mentioned couscous to Usama he didn't tell me it was a bad word, but he did ask if I meant the kind made with butter and cream and sugar.Does anyone know what this would be? Sounds like cream of wheat to me?

I think its a bad word in Egyptian or something... not actually sure.

When I was in Algeria we had sweet couscous with butter, cinnamon, and sugar and ate it with a glass of "milk" (it tasted like sour cream that had been diluted with water). It was good, but I couldn't eat a whole meal of it.

Spelled differntly and using the first four letters it means #######.

:lol: That's funny...just like the time when my husband's aunt was explaining the names of ingredients in a recipe...one of the ingredients was zebib (raisin)...so I did not think anything of it...and kept saying it... somehow the more I said, the better it sounded...faster I said it...my husband came running yelling "ssssssssssstooooooop saying that it wooooooord" :lol::lol::lol:

:whistle: I did not know... :whistle: Well ok I did...who knew that I knew? :thumbs:

Haven't tried it but it looks really good. I'd be interested to hear as well if anyone has used it.

Allah tries his chosen people through many hardships, but those who persevere through adversity, surrendering themselves before the will of Allah, shall be blessed with a superb reward.

-The Prophet Muhammad (SAW), as reported by Anas bin Malik

A time will come when the sky is torn apart; when the stars scatter, and the ocean drains away; and when the graves are tossed about, and laid open. At that time every man will be told what he has done, and what he has failed to do; and every woman will be told what she has done, and what she has failed to do.

-Qur'an, Al-Infitar, Surah 82:1-5
