pickMy belated #foodandlit #cuba read. I loved this book- told from three viewpoints, in a time and place I know very little Cuba and the fight for Freedom from Spain, and simultaneously about one of my favorite times and places- historical NYC. I loved the characters and the writing and am so glad I read it.
pickHeartbreaking. Also, how does this happen? It does not seem functional or sustainable. #foodandlit #afghanistan
Finished these three all worth the read. #FOODANDLIT AFGHANISTAN
Learning about Afghanistan and I come across this picture. The book says this is Abdur Rahman but all I see is DJ Khaled. 🤣🤣🤣

So glad to find a book in my stacks for #foodandlit #afghanistan ! #mttbr
Afghani Burani Banjan (Afghan Eggplant and Tomato with Yogurt Sauce).
The lentils are undercooked, and I could live without the yogurt sauce (but I don‘t think I got the right kind of yogurt). But otherwise it‘s good. I love eggplant!
I didn‘t expect this book to be any easy read, but it‘s so much tougher than I thought it‘d be. The scene with the pomegranates was heartbreaking.

pickAre you surprised? I guess not, right? 😂
This one left me a little less excited than the last few books in the series. I guess it's because it would need a little revision, at least in my opinion. But it was still a very interesting read, especially the countrys history and its languages were fascinating chapters.

Pleased to announce I‘ve finally eaten some Afghan food for #foodandlit this month! My boyfriend saw this food truck on the way to work and we had to walk to the site three different times after failing to find its opening hours online. It was worth it though - I had a chapti kebab wrap which was something I‘ve never tried before, really really nice.

pickReally glad I chose this for #FoodAndLit - a look at what life was like for a family of 9 sisters / 2 brothers as their lives changed drastically once the Taliban enter #Afghanistan 💔Especially poignant as now they are back in power😡 interesting article https://theweek.com/afghanistan-war/1013344/this-is-life-in-afghanistan-since-th...
Today we had Shir Chai (a very sweet chai tea) with fresh naan flatbread in the afternoon, and some more flatbread with kebabeh degee morgh (chicken kebab) and an Afghan salad for tea (dinner/evening meal)
The kebab sauce didn‘t get quite as thick as in the pictures, but was very tasty. The mix of flavours was delicious! ☺️
