An Egypitan Afternoon

 let's begin with a few of the decadent Egyptian deserts Eirini and her mom crafted!
Eirini and her mom spent the whole morning preparing these traditional Egyptian deserts!
Just as soon as I was started to feel like an accomplished baker, I see this and realize I'm completely amature!
Babaganoush made by Eirini!
The eggplant was cooked on an open flame (not a pot or pan used) which gave the dip an amazing smokey flavour.
Eirini and Julie looking at the delicious handmade falafals made with sesame seeds, chickpeas, parsely, cilantro and so much more! These were made by Eirini's mama.
Peppers, zucinnis and eggplants, stuffed with rice.
Eaten by and adorable couple with fabulous neck decor.

Grape vine leaves steamed and used to wrap up minced beef and veggie rice.
One of the most traditional Egyptian delights.
Also one of the most delicious things I've ever eaten! definately not like the canned stuff in the supermarket!




The family/The cutest
My humble contribution...date squares with maple syurp
(Canadian syrup sent by mama Wilson -thank you mom!)


yogurt, cucumber and mint! made a beautiful salad dressing!
Made by Eirini
Sharmeens nails need a pause of admiration!
shall we have some more desert? Yes!
My favourite were the baked oranges Eirni's brother made- dipped in chocolate-
 Tasted like a Terry's chocolate orange but better!
cups of coffee and some chocolate pots
A lovely Sunday afternoon!
