sometimes it's spelled kibbeh, sometimes kubbeh, other times kibbi. the shell is comprised of bulgur and semolina flour. the filling usually is lamb or beef, onions, pine nuts, parsley and savory spices such as cumin, turmeric, ginger, cardamom, and cinnamon. this is one of tashi's favorite middle eastern dishes. we used to buy kibbehs at jerusalem garden in ann arbor. since there are no middle eastern restaurants in charlottesville (can you believe that shit?), i now make kibbeh's from scratch. i found a great recipe in an israeli cookbook. kibbehs with some rice, a nice salad and some yogurt on the side make a delightful meal. that's what we had tonight.

MMmmm, they sound good, can Ihave one please? They look like our croquetas here in Spain, but are very different.
Regarding your comments on Israel, two notes:
1. Do you know the singer Noa? She was here on her summer European tour and we saw her, my second time. It was and she is amazing, especially live. She emanates so much love and positive energy.
2. Are you watching the CNN special Gods Warriers by Christaine Amampour? I just saw God's Jewish warriers. It was very insightful. Tonight here in Europe is the 2nd, God's Muslim Warriers and then Gods Christian Warriers tomorrow. I think its all a day sooner in the US. ANy comments?
