As the days go by
This blog was specially dedicated to my bro Fadi, when he was in Qatar ,working there, so he could stay updated with us living in Beirut. Now it is for everyday posting, for whatever passes in my mind.

Tarbouch
Everyone in Lebanon knows and has tasted the famous "rass el 3abed" , I won't translate because it is offensive and racist and I might lose my google account (now that's exaggerated, but I won't translate it anyway). I'm glad Ghandour changed finally its name, so it is called from now on "Tarbouch" referring to the traditionnal lebanese men's hat. But some people still may not know it and I find it difficult to ask for a Tarbouch when I spent 35 years asking for it by it's former name. So last day, I went into the grocery shop and showed him the box containing the Tarbouch and told him : I want 2 of these ! He gave me 2 and guess what was his reply ?? ..................... 500 liras, please!
