So delicate and I so adore nibbling on a few of them with tea. Interesting about the ghee-- I hadn't thought of its smell one way or another. Guess I'll have to go give it a sniff soon. Ha! As for the noise--your vivid description of Beirut makes noisy NYC sound like the English Countryside. Oooh, I love these cookies. So delicate and I so adore nibbling on a few of them with tea.

I don't know how I would make it through an entire day without having a coronary. But, I will say, the celebrations are as joyous and as noisy as they should be. Lebanon is as lively as the island of Cuba. And almost as scary to live in. On a lighter note, I love the look of these lovely and unique cookies, their ring shapes would be perfect 'finger food.' I hope you had a wonderful Valentine's Day! You know, I couldn’t live in Lebanon without looking like a deer in the woods on a windy day.

Even though Peter did have a great idea, I guess it is a matter of personal choice. We dont use it much in Pakistani cooking. I love the sweets you prepared, and I especially love the arrangement with the flowers, beautiful. Hope you had a lovely day.x shayma Joumana, dear, I am with you- I dont like ghee and the smell of ghee. Even though Peter did have a great idea, I guess it is a matter of personal choice.

I just don't like the smell of ghee (the one that is sold at the middle-eastern stores) and Crisco works fine, especially in regards to the color which is supposed to be super-white. you can use butter if it is clarified, I mean there’s a zillion recipe for this thing!

The middle of the cookie reminds of the evil eye protector! I suppose if you went with butter (ghee), sugar and corn starch may make one skip the Crisco?

I think I'd hardly have any culture shock at all! Just beautiful presentation as always! By the way, I can't find your contact info on here, can you email me at trixmixelplix AT gmail DOT com? I have a food related question for you. Thanks!! Hmmm, Beirut in summer sounds an awful lot like Baltimore. I think I’d hardly have any culture shock at all! Just beautiful presentation as always!
