Sfa:
tons of angel hair, cut up
cinnamon
sugar
raisins
We used our largest plate to serve all 3kilos of this bad boy. Mother had been generous with the raisins. We had three small bowls of powdered sugar around the table for people to have as much as they wanted. Hanane, Mohammad, Mother, Uncle, and I did not finish it all.

Brahim Says
Moroccan pancakes
sauce: butter and honey
palmiers
coffee
tea
milk
The CCCL is having a two-day training session for some newly hired staff people, and Brahim serves a snack and lunch. Today's snack was 80% sugar and, upon departure of the staff people, was annihilated in ten minutes by a very enthusiastic bundle of students.

Is This Rice?
Risoni
milk
butter

A sweet dinner dish that was wholly unexpected. Mother took three sugar cubes; I took only one.

Ouazzane Peasant Couscous
couscous
five to six regional lettuces and herbs
hand-pressed olive oil
whole garlic cloves
beef (optional)
Thanks to Farah for blessing my palette time and again. This couscous is unique and no longer made by the locals because it is indicates peasant status as the ingredients are very cheap. Garlic in general is associated with peasant fare. Mint tea with Ouazzane spearmint and peppermint followed. No sugar!

1 bunch Moroccan lettuce
