Khabeesah.......
I wish i can know the great mind behind its discovery, or better say invention.
A super-thin and super-delicious layer of grape dried in certain way that you can have nuts included within, and you keep eating and the more you eat the more hungry you get, to the point i started suspecting some that some sort of drugs may be injected into this incredible brownish substance.
My grandmother has been making Khabeesah for half a century, and i have been eating it for the past quarter century. Many times I tried watching her make it, but still there's a secret in that damn Khabeesah that I can't know, some secret in its making that only God Almighty and jeddeti know it. Maybe the other old woman in Salt know it as well, but i have tried many "Khabayes" and the best one i had was my grandmother's, welli mesh 3aajbo yballet il ba7ar.
Before I left to America I was certain there were many things I would miss, people, places and faces, good shawermas and khabeesah. Now my grandmother is too old to even eat Khabeesah, and I don't think i'll ever have her khabeesah again, but i wish that secret of transformation of grapes and nuts into khabeesah will be revealed, at least during my age!

if you haven't tried khabeesah, ma3nato ra7 3aleek noss 3omrak, meaning if you were supposed to live till you're 120, you'll only live till 60. If it goes to not trying shawerma or mansaf then lazem tla77eg 37alak men hassa
o 3ogbal el 120
thanx iyas and ibrahim for your welcome :)
oh man wiat a minute wait a minute, i remebered khabeesah now .. yeah ..lol but i tried it when i was 15 years old i visited "Tel" my vilage in nablus- plaestine and my relatives there invited me to dinner i was kid so they told me to try khabysah ... and it was veeeeeeerry sweeeet ... i remeber i drank more than 5 cups of waters after that lol :D

I congratulate you I guess you'll live a minimum of 120 yars now, and yeah it's very sweet, khabeesah makes you gain weight and i gained a lot weight eating khabeesah although shawerma has to do more with the beautiful karsh i have.

Brazil lost to Mexico 1-0 a while ago
with mercy
Mexico missed a penalty kaman
Brazilians should watch their words when they say they're the best team in the world!! They're the best team only in the month of the world cup, other parts of the year... THEY SUCK BIG TIME !!
