I LOVE the glass ornaments. I'm going to order these, but I'm worried how long they will last on my tree. :unsure: Too many crazy kids around my house. :whistle:

There's a Middle East/Moroccan specialty foods shop in Seattle that sells a few items on Amazon. I think it's called Mustafa's. They've got jars of preserved lemon at about $7 each, if anyone's had a hankering for that lemony zip in your chicken tagines...

Me (Indiana) & Him (Fes, Morocco)

Summer 2002: Met in Morocco
Summer 2004: Began work on 129f; joined VJ rather than hiring a lawyer

I-129f Submission & Approval
Oct 19, 2004: I-129f to VSC
Oct 29: NOA2 online -- approved in 6 days, 10/23 to 10/29!

From NVC to Consulate & All the Way Home...
Nov 8, 2004: Case to Casablanca
Feb 23: Interview; CO said they'll call in 2-3 weeks
Mar 2: Casa calls; visa in hand the next day!
Mar 24: Arrival at JFK; over four hours waiting, but got an EAD
April 15, 2005: Married

AOS
Aug 10, 2005: AOS/EAD/AP to Chicago
Nov 12: AOS prints taken

2006, 2007, 2008, 2009:
EAD renewals often delayed. (?)
Info-Pass officials will say only that "other authorities" are handling our case; we eventually got our Senator's office involved
Spring 2009: A letter arrives, saying his 2005 fingerprints have expired and need to be updated. We head down to Indy and get his prints redone.
June 2009: We FINALLY get the AOS interview letter just shy of FOUR YEARS since submission of AOS application...

July 2009: after the interview, his 10-year Green Card arrives. Alle-freaking-luia.

N-400

Application in progress, 2015. We divorced in 2012 but are still good friends. E is helping organize H's application for Naturalization... fingers crossed!

If you have a Sur la Table or a World Market in your area, they carry Mustapha's items, too.

How can one claim God cares to judge a fornicator over judging a lying, conniving bully? I guess you would if you are the lying, conniving bully.

If you bring up the truth, you're a PSYCHOPATH, life lesson #442.

I know! I went yesterday to buy a gift for my friend for her b-day, and I sent my SIL the cute gingerbread man silicone muffin mold from the holiday catalog for her bday. I love Le Creuset right now, it's my current obsession!

How can one claim God cares to judge a fornicator over judging a lying, conniving bully? I guess you would if you are the lying, conniving bully.

I think the plain ones do, it looks like she's pared down her menu, but it's really so good, the cookies are dense and not dry like italian biscotti. She used to have these chewy almond cookies, too. It's all tasty, you can't go wrong.
