All newcomers are welcome It is always nice to meet new people and share real experiences.
What brings you to Egyptsearch? Are you here as a lass with an interest in Egypt or here to share the link? Not that either way matters
As for Saw... I cannot watch that simply becasue of the title!!! It sounds like it is something that would frighten the bejesus outta me.

Yesterday evening they had this gruesome movie on MBC2.. Wolf creek all about some sick psycho in the middle of no where in the Australian desert, with an obsession to torture folks till death..I hate such movies.

Alf Alf Alf Mabrouk to Tamer! I just got most of the questions wrong! It's really hard...especially the questions about UK benefits. I have never been on any and I have no bloody clue how long until you're eligible for new deal etc. Don't even know what they are. What a random test...some really bizarre questions in there

So many questions could depend on the situation as far as I could see I did sit with him doing some tests but I was more of a hinderance than a help Just glad it wasn't me sitting it lol! Anyway it's out of the way now thankfully! It's funny how it does feel like 'free money' Ferret!

ANOTHER days holiday Mr Goverment... don't mind if we do. NEXT SUNDAY, another days holiday, don't mind if we do.
To all my fellow expats living in lush Sunny Egypt, if you are as fortunate as most of us this side of Cairo to be granted leave because of the riots have a great day and I advise you to go and sunbathe as the weather is gorgeous.

There are shops selling Christmas tat and Hallmark has all the cards in now but it is just difficult to feel like I do back home! I am so used to associating christmas with snow!
I have been watching the News, it looks so damn cold! And you know how much I detest the cold!
you would be proud of me Mickey, I am cooking nearly every day and experimenting and cooking from scratch. No wonder I am ill Posts: 11097 | From: Cairo | Registered: May 2008

I did a stuffed butternut squash the other day. I stuffed it with minced meat and onions and tomatoes. Was my first time to eat butternut squash...I almost lost a finger trying to cut the thing in half!

My stuffing came out ok I just didn't like the taste. I will stick to my parsley and thyme one in the future.
Yorskshire puddings are next on the list. I know they are easy to do but my cooker has no therm on it, it is either on or off so I have to keep experimenting!!!

Very. Tastes the same as Pumpkin. I love experimenting with different things food wise. I'm always adding to my herbs and spices collection. My freezer is full of Taaemeya and Mashy with the vine leaves and lamb all ready made up. My mother in law left batches and batches of Egyptian food behind. We don't normally eat it because it takes hours to make.

I like cooking when I am in the mood, but if I am hungry I just wanna eat and can't be mithered to faff around spending hours preparing something.
Tonight I am going to make a batch of soup. And after looking at how expensive decent soup here is I am hoping I am good at it and save loadsa cash
I don't think I have ever eaten pumpkin...

The last time I was there in a Jan, we were sitting outside a citystars cafe sipping juice in the sun!
Heathrow is only about an hour away so I can't complain there. Problem is, I see flying like russian roulette, the more times you play, the more likely you will eventually get hit. So the more I fly, the bigger my fear becomes because I feel like the odds must be against me by now.

Woooh WK we should meet again...I'm going to be there until January 11th...I've already invited CF to my mansion. You should come too! I will be serving afternoon tea and cucumber sandwiches (crusts removed )
No one in the world seems to know where Golf City is (apartment location) It's on the outkskirts of somewhere called Obour (sp?) It's only about 20 mins from Helipolis and that is really all i know.
Maybe I will organise a rave Posts: 500 | From: United Arab Emirates | Registered: Jul 2008
