1. This excerpt:

She reneged on her anti-cooking stance in 1975, after her boyfriend introduced her to an American friend of his, “a glamorous blond lady,” Ms. Helou recalled. “She produced a very nice dinner. My boyfriend was impressed. I looked at him and said, ‘Oops! Maybe I should cook.’”

3. LOL!

My 'boyfriend's' the cook in this group, Pakistani and Islamic (+ Universalist Unitarian,) so I've sent this to him. Guess it will keep him busy!

2. I'm a fan of oriental food. I want to try this orange-salad next:

You need oranges and grapefruits. Cut off the skin and leave no white on the outside. Cut into slices. Preserve juice that comes out. Mix juice with olive-oil, salt, pepper, to make a vinaigrette. Decorate with peeled pistachios, berries, rose petals...

...so I ordered the book in hardcover for the kitchen bookshelf.
