A friend of mine came visiting once, like two, three or even more years ago, and we had homemade hamburgers for lunch. I ate
half a hamburger sandwich
as usual, while she ate two. She couldn't believe that I eat only half a hamburger and found it a very amusing story to tell everybody about. "Do you believe that Diana eats half a hamburger? It's unbelievable, this girls eats nothing, even a kid can easily eat one or two!"
I went to this friend's place the other day, and someone started talking about food, so of course she didn't forget to mention the same
old story of Diana and the hamburger. "For God's sake!" I told her "Aren't you ever gonna forget this story?". Her mother laughed and said that her daughter repeats the same story every single time they have hamburger.
So, the moral of the story is
Diana doesn't eat much. But now, I had to add some calories to my diet you know. This baby of mine is mafjoo3, I sometimes wake up in the middle of the night feeling very hungry. I'd feel stomach pains in the early morning and get up just to eat.
A couple of days ago, we had wara2 3inab bil khodar, or b zeit, or yalanji, you name it. El mohem, I just LOVE stuffed grape leaves soooooo much. They usually make this dish as an appetizer, but who will think of eating anything else in the presence of wara2 el 3inab? Mom made a good quantity, so that I can eat my all time favorite dish for two days. We had lunch, and mom went out to visit some acquaintances. Shortly afterwards, I got hungry, so I ate another plate. A couple of hours later, I got hungry, again! and had a third plate. Not to mention that I was paying the kitchen a visit every now and then just to take a mouthful or two . When my mother came back home, she found the pot almost empty. "Did we have visitors?" she asked. "No, nobody came." I answered. "But, but.. where did the wara2 3inab go?" she exclaimed. "well, actually I ate it!" :D
"Unbelievable! Mashallah! Sa7tain." :D
So, I mustn't forget to tell my friend about this incident so that she totally forgets all about
Diana and the hamburger story and start telling another one for a change: Diana and tanjaret wara2 el 3inab.
