Not the Blue one which i posted about a couple of days ago but I managed to get the green amber mesba7 (thanks to Ali). The green amber is not as rare as the blue one but still it’ll feel very welcomed among my collection

And one more thing I’m still hunting for the blue amber!

Today I got an email saying that Disney’s products causes cancer, But i didn’t believe it until i checked the official website of Disney and found this warning:

“WARNING: This product contains a chemical known to the State of California to cause cancer, or birth defects or other reproductive harm.“

It is located under most of the product of Disney, you can check it out yourself by clicking this LINK.

You can find it on the bottom right corner in the page.

For those of you who don’t yet know that i’m a big collector of Mesabee7 kahrab just click on this LINK to see my collection. A couple of days ago i found out that there is a new type of kahrab (we used to know that the kahrab’s colora are yellow & orange) but what surprised me that there is a VERY RARE kahrab color which is BLUE! i found this when i was reading more information about them in wikipedia, here is a little definition of the blue kahrab (they call it blue amber).

“Blue amber is amber exhibiting a rare coloration. It most commonly is found in the amber mines in the mountain ranges around Santiago, Dominican Republic. ^[1]Although little known due to its rarity, it has been around since the discovery of Dominican amber.”

They cost around KD750 – KD3000 depends on the concentration and the percentage of the blue Amber, Now i need one of these! i found some guys selling it on ebay but im afraid of buying Mesabee7 online coz i need to see them first. I found one guy who’s selling some (2 or 3 mesba7) in Bahrain and called him, i think im gonna have a flight for Bahrain just for couple of hours, maybe, im gonna see him in the airport and buy it (if i liked it) and then come back to Kuwait.

But before i go there did anyone here knows  anyone selling or having any of this?

Our last poll was ‘What is your favorite Ramadan dish?’ Over 200 people decided the following:

1. Harees / Yereesh 32%
2. Tashreba 29%
3. Muchboos 16%
4. Em6abag 3%
5. I don’t care 20%

The tashreeba, my favorite, won the second position. It so deserved to be a #1

Our new poll got to do with Ramadan too. The Gergai3an is an old Kuwaiti tradition, where kids go door to door, on the 13th, 14th and 15th of every Ramadan, singing a traditional tune and in return get a handful of goodies (chocolates, nuts..etc.) We all went gerge3ing when we were kids and I remember that we couldn’t wait to measure our bagfuls of goodies and see who got the most.

So, What do you think of Gergai3an? You can submit your answers using the poll on the right sidebar.

We had a Ghabga* at the Diwaniya yesterday. We took pictures of the whole thing. My brother got carried away with the camera and now i have over 350 pictures of every person of the 60+ who were there. When it was time to arrange the buffet I thought I should take as many pictures as possible, you know, good blogging material… But this time I really don’t know what was wrong with me, every picture turned out blurry and couldn’t find any nice drool-worthy ones. Yeah, so anyway, the picture above is of my dish

Since we’re in day 1 of Ramadan, HNM wants to share this TV shows/programs table which she made especially for the Kuwaiti/Khaleeji shows (men kethorhoom man7afeth). The programs start from 4:30PM all the way to 1:30AM.

P.S.: These aren’t ALL the shows, These are the ones she’s intersted in alone.. Allah e3enaa benshoof kel hathaaa

Anyway thanks to HNM

She wasn’t the best maid, she didn’t speak english or arabic and she was lazy. We were going to let her go as soon as we come back from our vacation. When we came back we were surprised to find that she wasn’t only planning on stealing many of our things, but she also was abusing our trust by wearing and using some of our stuff behind our backs.

Some of the stuff she was planning on stealing:

• Blankets.
• Clothes.
• Food (Rice, Dates, Milk.. among other things)
• Crystal Salad bowls.
• Kitchenware.
• Soaps (more than you could ever imagine)
• Many other little things.

She was planning on shipping all this stuff in this big metal box (shown Below). The box weighted more than a 100kg. The below pictured things are only a sample of what was in the box.

Ofcourse she denied having stolen those stuff and claimed she bought them with her own money, and the funny thing is, the dates were a gift from a relative and the name of that relative was printed on the cover, and when we asked her she said she got it from a shop in the city. When she was promising not to steal again while crying her way out of our house, we couldn’t help but feel very [very] sorry for her.

It was just announced on Alwatan Tv, and AlRai Tv that the first day of Ramadan will be, in Kuwait, on Monday, september 1st. On behalf of me and Mishary, Mbarak Alaikum AlShahar

Edit: Mishary beat me to it, but I refuse to delete this post

 

 

Its official after tomorrow will be the first day of Ramadan inshalah

In the past 4 days my internet was SO SLOW! I cant even write a post. So as usual I called 107 and they kept me waiting for almost 20 min. Ok o ba3dain ?! what do you think the solution was? Take your sim card from the router, restart it and wait 10 mins. (( for those who dont know Zain’s its a normal procedure with ANY PROBLEM)) So, I waited 10 min with no sucsses. I called again and made a complaint. Until now the problem isn’t solved. And the guys there keep sayin ‘Zain Thanks Your Call!’ thanks for what?! Don’t thank me! solve my problem! Sij I’m annoyed at them!

Since Ramadan is within a week inshalla, i was thinking that the time for the prayer and “eftar & emsak” is important for most of us, So this might help us .. i’ve uploaded links for most of the Arabian countries, just find your country and click on it to see your Ramadan schedule.

About 2 weeks ago, when I was in france, I found out that we were having ummawash o hasho rebyan for dinner. I wasn’t really surprised, coz that day it was cloudy and raining, and Kuwaitis can’t be Kuwaitis if they do not eat ummawash or m3addas when its raining! its an unwritten rule.

I asked about the history of this Kuwaiti dish and learned the following:

Kuwaitis back in the day didn’t have refrigerators and they had to be creative and mix it up a bit when it came to cooking. They ate mostly grains with rice, dal (3adas) with rice and other stuff. Sheep were available and was a step up from plain rice, or rice with dal and fish dishes. Chickens weren’t widely available as it is now, chickens were expensive and most of the time a chicken dish would be cooked only for a sick person within the family (morale boost ). In the summer they had all sort of sea food: Fish, Shrimps, Crabs and so on. But in the winter it was harder, and I think more expensive for people to get fishes and sea food in general, and thats why they started drying fishes and shrimps. The dried shrimps proved to be more resilient to the invention of refrigerators, whereas dried fishes are no where to be found on the Kuwaiti menus (and thank God for that! imagine coming home from work to find an ugly dried fish on the table..).

Inspiration for this post.

Update:
Apparently the Kuwaiti menu have atleast one dish of dried fish, that is Marag Khobba6. I have never heard of it.
