I hear ya, Jen. My husband is 6'1, eats like a horse, doesn't workout and still wears size 32 jeans. Damn it! I on the other hand can gain 5lbs just looking at a piece of cake. It's hard to watch your weight when you have to cook rice, pasta or potatoes as part of dinner everyday. Oh and the fact that we always have cookies, ice cream and Cheetos in the house doesn't help either.

Damn. You lot are making me hungry. Still, at least I've already decided on what today's lunch will be - the Jordanian place down the street will be getting my custom (yet again) without doubt!

Now you know how I feel when you guys in the Uk forum talk about Cadbury eggs!

This is going to be a retarded question and I suppose I should know the answer especially because my hubby is British.......but what in the world is a Cadbury egg? Honestly I have no clue. what that is? Is the egg cooked in some special way or whats the deal with that?

chocolate on the outside, creme on the inside (with a yellow "yolk" even) ....I've posted this pic before, but it merits repeating....

Maybe it's just me but the yellow creme "yolk" of the Cadbury egg kind of grosses me out.....

But anywayyyy I miss felafel in the West Bank so so so much.....

Someone was asking me about the felafel tools -- these are special little gadgets that make it much easier to work with felafel dough, which is notoriously sticky. The end of the tool forms the dough into the proper shape, and then you use the "plunger" thing to dispense it directly into the hot oil.

You can get them in different shapes and sizes -- note the double-barreled one on the far right.

Good God I'm hungry now and I just ate a bagel!!! lol

I'm making stuffed grape leaves today but now I want falafel tooooo!!!!

There used to be a Lebanese place around the corner from me that made absolutely wonderful falafel. I'm not sure what he did differently, but when the family sold the place to a new owner, the falafel just wasn't the same.

Thanks for the pics!

I can't wait to taste the difference between the falafel in Cairo and Alexandria. Apparently the falafel we have where I live is the kind that is made in Alex.
