Mommy is the Lebanese sweetness of love!

If it remains a dream, it will be very beautiful ...

Katerina, no, no, no, they should not "stay", but come to life! And yours will come true if you don't stop dreaming
Well, sweets in flight, but cheeses are even better! I myself am unlikely to get to your land in this life, but if you open an Internet boutique, it will be the first in line
and congratulations are always pleasant and appropriate, even six months later, if you put a piece of yourself into it

I remember back in 2012, I dreamed of and even started my personal page MY LEBANONIAN))) so now so loaded in the implementation, the poans are painted for 50 years of harm))) just kidding of course
but the fact that now there is a lack of time in everything that the forum has forgotten with raids only is a fact

And why an Internet store, or is it cheaper ?! I have never used them, a poor province can already agree, figure out the parcel this year, they caught up with the zeferova, I can share it if necessary ... there are definitely 20 liters extra, so if an order is collected, please, we will organize everything ...
I don’t know why you have, we now have 10 dollars a liter + shipping ... Think, is it dear to you or not, if anything is welcome
This year, the flowers of zefer reached $ 10 per kg, but we have our own trees ... Since our older sister cherishes, few people know how to drive this ...

How interesting here

Irina, join us, we are all glad

[Catherine]

Catherine, thanks for the interesting recipe)
I also really liked the video, downright fabulous sweets) are simply unreal

To health Everything is real if desired

[katerix]

katerix, I just managed to watch a video about the empire of sweets. That's lovely! I wish your dreams of your own boutique to come true. Cheese - the story is correct, it, like baked goods, retains the taste of those emotions with which it was made. May everything you need to make your dreams come true!

[Kate]

Katewhat have you done, I want to try everything from what is shown in the video. And to see a little of the process ... culture shock. Or uncivilized .... I'm swinging at mummy, I definitely have no water ... I go into the topic and wait for someone who will do it ... Katya. and in this house of sweets what prices, humane? As far as I understand, hiking trails don't go there to try to book ...

[Irina Ikra]

Irina Ikra Thank you very much, you believe in my ideas so much that I myself am beginning to believe in them more strongly, once again I am convinced that the Mcooker forum is a huge force in everything !!!

[Tanyusha - Giraffe]

Tanyusha - Giraffe, and I thought you didn’t go to such headings, it was pleasant to your visit !!!
You surprised me that you don't have such waters, honestly ... I thought everything grows in your open spaces !!!

Lebanon is generally an expensive country, as for me, wealth does not correspond to living ... There is too much difference between the strata of the population, the rich and the poor ... The middle stratum is engineers, probably ... Among the poor they seem rich and among the rich a trifle
For a long time, going into Halleb, we allowed ourselves ice cream only, but from the expensive sets, everything includes in addition to three balls of booze, cream with nuts and cookies ... The portions are huge, the visitors will not be able to master everything, but we are used to half a year of charge just right enough ice cream ... we need no more than $ 14 for four, eight years ago we invested in $ 9
This year, the little one promoted dad to the third floor, the restaurant is located there !! (the first floor is Arab sweets, the second is European sweets, and the third is a variety of European and Arab cuisine, so that would seriously stay full)
So, we took three dishes (a plate of meat mix - shish tavuk, shish kebab and kefte; a plate of samke harro is a spicy fish; a plate of rice with nuts (as in the video), but it is really huge ... Like everything that was ordered a this from the restaurant was accompanied by salahs and snacks, European and local, the same hummus and something else ... Then for dessert we were brought a plate of fruit from the restaurant too .. In a word, we didn't really eat it, although we wanted more and more when ordering) and it cost $ 60 with a tip ... We were surprised at the prices and portions and were very satisfied .. Bread cakes of different types and at will, as far as I am I don't like local bread and especially only from the oven, but this one was something !!!
So you can invite guests calmly and with pleasure !!!
If it were not for local politics, there would be much more guests and tourists ... This year, thank God, we have a quiet and peaceful place, but tourism is very poorly developed and advertised ... And many through their Internet shop order from all over the world, it is at their level !!
I will try to share some of the recipes, but I am far from a sweet tooth and I rarely like their sweets or reach them over the years.
I hope that someday the Bread Maker will come to me, the most desperate of whom will not be scared by anything: girl_wink: who will get extreme and travel and sweets of course ... Or maybe we will learn how to cook all this on the spot !!! Dreams again, but I strive and slowly persuade my husband

With a new hobby - local sweets, I used up the entire supply of pink water, I got out of all my relatives and friends ... I started looking for the shops and in shock, it turns out to be here on the spot to find decent water ... roses .. And I still need at least a liter for everything about everything, my recipes are under threat ... You can put anything you want, but who will eat it later, that's the question ?! If you do not do it locally, they will not even try ... without water and not here and there, as it turns out

you believe in my ideas so much

I believe! And I believe that it will come true! Because a woman who once was not afraid to abruptly change her fate and leave with her beloved in a country that is so different from her native ... such a woman is subject to everything! And the kids will grow up and become assistants, I'm sure!

And what about the recipes that we dare not try to make here due to the lack of important components - this does not make them less interesting. There we have learned so much in connection with Mom! Cooking is not only recipes for utilitarian purposes, it is also a huge layer of culture that, fortunately, unites people.
Of course, we do not take into account the war between the "pointed" and the "blunt". Normal people are always happy with new knowledge and are happy to learn.
And then, I noticed such a thing: when I come across a recipe that is interesting, but which you will not cook because of its exoticism, for example, any detail from it comes in handy in some other dish. Some special technique, a combination of products, a way of serving ... It's not in vain!
So, if you have even a little time - write, show!

[Tanyusha - Giraffe]

Tanyusha - Giraffe, but I thought you don't go to such headings

Why? I am very tasty ... I cook constantly. Today I will bake bagels for 5 kopecks, and yesterday they were the same but for 6. There are cookies that need to be forgotten, and so, on trifles, candy marshmallows, etc. But in general. we have a global thinking about how we will celebrate our daughter's college entrance. True, tomorrow only the second exam is still ... My daughter orders a drunk cherry, but I want something that I haven't eaten yet.

Here, I found a photo for clarity of portions



My husband and Mimi have a TUTTI FRUIT ice cream, and Fedya and I have OLD FASHION ... For eight years I have not bothered

That's right Irina, we must and must know about each other, about cultures and religions, then maybe there will be more peace on earth! If there are not, as always, who will take advantage of this ... But if you believe in good and good, then it is attracted ... Proven over the years !!!
How I look at my husband's relatives, how they are always hospitable and welcoming to people of different confessions who have come, I wonder how they manage to live like this even in very difficult moments ?!
I’m not for the sake of some nadiva or something like that, I want people to come to us and draw this kindness ..
I will not say that it is always smooth and peaceful here in families, but for guests this is how it is !!! Much that has passed over the years when I did not write on my page, it is not sweet, but we ourselves are foreigners who arrange it for ourselves once !!! Still, different cultures, they are more conservative and we have become free in some places, and here in this there are often disagreements and so on ... It seems to me that by pride it is much stronger and impossible to concede, but sometimes without it, and not to break through in a lot !! !
So, on the forum, I only want to show positive, unfortunately many of you have the feeling that everything is cloudless with us! But I will say this: - EVERYWHERE ONE AND THE SAME, only depending on how he relates to the problems and joys of life !!

Why? I am very tasty ... I cook constantly. we have a global thinking about how we will celebrate our daughter's college entrance. True, tomorrow only the second exam is still ... My daughter orders a drunk cherry, but I want something that I have not eaten yet.

So I urgently need one more recipe to expose, and suddenly I will help with something new!
Just think, bash our vanilla in the place of waters and it will also be tasty and new!

found a photo

Mimi's face is so happy! Lovely!
What portions! I wouldn't have mastered so much at a time

[katerix]

katerixwhat portions !!!! I would try to master))))

Mimi's face is so happy! Lovely!
What portions! I wouldn't have mastered so much at a time

Several years ago, our dad went to French courses near Halleb, well, we tried to ride in that direction with him ... So one day, in the process of waiting, we decided to brighten up the time in the palace of sweets Fedya was then five, Mimi was 3 ... I had a limited amount of money .. We were waiting for the order to be served, suddenly Mimi felt an urge to go to the toilet and just then the waiter brings us the long-awaited buzo, I ask him to look after my son while I take Camila ...
He still asked again: - Can I take the order back, and when I return I will bring you? I politely refused, said nothing would happen, naive
Upon my return, literally in a couple of minutes, I see a picture, one portion is empty and the second half full ... And the small one is sitting at another table ... I am not in the know, I don’t understand what happened ... It turns out that the small one ate all this, and then he remembered about his sister, seeing an empty table at which there was also the same ice cream, and decided to change the empty portion for a full one, but we came earlier ...
Mimi is hysterical, I no longer have money for a new portion ... I had to persuade the seller to take half a portion into the horn
They walk along the street, happy with ice cream, and Fedor says: - Mom, so we didn't buy anything for dad, let's go back or buy a new one in the store !!! I almost fell on the spot !!! The main thing he saw that I did not eat and knew that there was no money, but he remembered about my dad at the last moment)))
And the conclusion is, maybe you Bridget is not so fond of ice cream and these portions may seem small even to children))) but to be honest, of course a bit too much

Yesterday I saw how many varieties of Mommy there are in Halleb !! on the middle shelf there is local cotton candy, between halva and our usual cotton wool ... According to the local translation, the girl's hair)))

Oh, it's a pity that not a single daredevil was found to try the recipe !!! I hope there will be such a hero for the holiday! For this, if possible, we will give a bottle of flower water to our local!;)

Thank you to everyone who thanked me and supported me in the hope of winning the weekly competition !!! Sometimes, the main thing is participation, but victory is also important at times !!!
Thanks again for the inspiration and support !!! I love everyone

[And so with each added new ingredient]

Katyusha, almost all the ingredients are in stock, but when Day X is so close, new questions arise
By the amount of flower water in the dough - how much is it all the same? You wrote - at least 0.5 liters is needed ... Is it you have a glass-sized bottle coming out, since 2 bottles = 0.5 liters are indicated?
I can't imagine the consistency of the finished dough, so I'm afraid that the dough will remain completely dry ...So I'm waiting for the secret to be revealed - how much can your bottles hold?

And I also want to clarify the process:
1 - mix semolina with sugar
2 - add oil there, rubbing-loosening ...

But then, after explaining the nuances of grinding, you write:

... which means skipping between your fingers while stirring. And so with each added new ingredient.

Each ingredient is what is brought in after introducing all the oil?
Is it yeast milk and flower water?

Here, again, I did not understand everything, so you write:

Let's take and mix two types of waters in equal portions half a glass and add to our mixture ... and for ripening ...

And you get not 2 bottles of water, but half a glass? and half a glass is 100 ml?
Or do we add the remaining water to the second glass of milk when the final dough is kneaded after 12 hours?
If yes, then again I repeat - and this is how much? Out of 2 bottles, we used only half a glass, how much is left for the subsequent intervention?

Katya, I apologize for torturing you like this ... but for a long time I want to try such a fragrant sweetness, I have collected everything, but the misunderstandings slow down I am really looking forward to the answer of the professional mom-chef

Nagira good evening, you are the hero of the day, once you have made up your mind !!
Sorry, I rarely look at the forum now
2 bottles, because there are two kinds of waters !!
By the amount of flower water, rather to be guided by the smell, so that it does not start to irritate, and the dough is fragrant ... I do not know what concentration your water will be, here it is purely for your taste ... highly concentrated water can be diluted with water ordinary or milk! (there is water as a little oily, there probably need to be measured with spoons) and also take into account that when baking the smell will disappear a little
The moisture content of the dough (when put on proofing) should be the same, well, if, for example, compare with wet sand when there is no excess water in it, but it is wet, something like this
and when you are already forming into molds, the dough should look like a well-heated, soft plasticine

Yes, semolina should always be loose when adding a new ingredient, so that each grain is soaked and increased freely in volume (well, I understand that ... believe me, no one here ever bothers "why and how ?!" They do it strictly as their mother taught them ... here it is very difficult to achieve the truth, you just need to track the process and get it with questions)))
So you Nagira are doing absolutely right by asking me again
I don't know if I could explain clearly, if you ask again ... I'll try be in touch

Girls, hello everyone! I saw a recipe in the open and even registered).
My husband is also Lebanese and I could not pass by the politician) thank you for such a detailed description of the recipe, I wanted to go straight to Lebanon here and now.
I have been cooking Mamul for a long time, however, like other Lebanese cuisine. And today, before the holiday, I again made these sweets. My recipe is slightly different, but this is a normal healthy process for all cooks;).
Why can't I upload a photo?
