I don't like frying anything actually, don't like dealing with hot oil. <BR/><BR/>There was not much of a fuss here about the Oscars. But you should definitely see Atonement and Juno. Beautiful cinematography and music in the former. <BR/><BR/>x NoraNora B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/04360757422555317095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4567715590164266982.post-40084450124657047242008-02-26T19:54:00.000-08:002008-02-26T19:54:00.000-08:00Like Vicki mentioned I usually sprinkle Sumac on m...Like Vicki mentioned I usually sprinkle Sumac on my Fattoush and have zaatar on my pita.

If you have a middle eastern store nearby, you must try it. It is a wonderful spice. Also, Zaatar is another spice to sprinkle on naan or pita bread drizzled with olive oil.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4567715590164266982.post-68787261204385941612008-02-26T07:41:00.000-08:002008-02-26T07:41:00.000-08:00Oooh this really looks delicious Val - yum - yum :...Oooh this really looks delicious Val - yum - yum :D<BR/><BR/>Rosie xRosiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03861602553420699670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4567715590164266982.post-59629562620383157062008-02-26T05:03:00.000-08:002008-02-26T05:03:00.000-08:00I was disappointed that the young actress from Ato...I was disappointed that the young actress from Atonement didn't win for best supporting actress.

Like you, I usually have never seen any of the movies and to be honest, the only thing I watch on TV are cooking shows and I am a big fan of "Lost". Otherwise I listen to music, read wine and cooking books and magazines.<BR/>Just catching up on your posts as I have busy all weekend with Garden Fest here in Key West. Those yammy fries look terrrific! I love sweet potatoes and have never tried the fries yet, although I have seen them. I will have to check out your Ricardo chef as I have never heard of him.
