    Allah ysam7ek!
    Cinnamon, Freekeh (Smoked wheat, cracked wheat is borghol or Bulgar in English.
    Cardamon!!? It’s a wonder drug for people with high cholesterol, in addition to being the main ingredient in Arabic and Turkish coffee. AND it smells fantastic, removes the “zanakha” from chicken and meat
    Jameed!!? Unbelievable!

    Jad… allah ysam7ek!

    I love cinnamon and “hail” and I like freekeh and I love jameed. I like Rap music. I hate the noises too, but I have to admit that I like making bubbles with my gum (but I only feel like chewing gum once in a blue moon and only if someone offered).

    You’re a strange one, do you hate msakhin, mansaf or ma2loobeh??

    I don’t understand how it is possible for anyone not to like cinnamon. I hear you on the slurping though;I usually leave the table when people are eating soup because it drives me nuts….

    The noises you decribed bug the $#!T outta me. But the swearing….I haven’t been able to let that go. Just this moring, my dad was saying “If you were a professional football player you would never save any money….that multi-million dollar contract would go to fines for swearing…$25 thousand at a time”. I countered with “Well I would certainly do it in Arabic….”, to which he quiped, “Then the fine would be 10 times as much”. Yes I do have a potty mouth….and I am expanding my vocab to include Italian and Spanish.

    Seriously, disliking cinnamon should be illegal.

    I hate the smell of cinnamon. I seriously can’t stand it. I don’t so much mind hail in coffee, but I hate the taste it leaves in food. Jameed and freekeh are both too dense of a taste for me.

    Mansaf is some what of an acquired taste. I like it, but I don’t always crave it. Same with msakhan

    Luai, for each swear word, you need to give me a dollar then! Swear words in Arabic carry much more meaning than in English. close your mouth is certainly lighter than sakkir tommak. isn’t it?!

    Alright, I will try to cool it when I am in your presence. $1, huh….wanna go for double or nothing? If I don’t swear on here for 1 week then it goes down to 0, otherwise you get $2.

    Be glad you weren’t near me today. Oh, boy! Even my officemate got into things and dropped the “bomb” a few times. I told him I was rubbing off. He’s a grandpa to 6 kids. Ouch!
