Anyway, so that's the title of my blog - doesn't make a whole lot of sense, but it's definitely better than "Insert Title Here" I think.

About the Blog Title
So, I'm super uncreative with titles - as people who have ever had to read essays I've written know, I usually just start with "Insert Title Here." This was my original thought for this blog, but then I decided that having a title in Arabic, just to be kind of obnoxious, would be better. Given my obsession with food, I attempted to make the title also relate to omnomnoms in some way. Thus, the current title translates to "Tea and Kinafa," which is pretty straightforward minus the "Kinafa" part, which is nowhere near as globally ubiquitous as the "Tea" part. Kinafa is, basically, the most incredible/weird sweet ever and it's the national dessert of Jordan (I don't know if it is actually the national dessert of Jordan, but it is everywhere here): it's basically some kind of cheese pan fried, topped with pastry and doused in copious amounts of honey/sugar. So, to analogize, it's basically like mozzarella sticks but with sugar syrup instead of marinara sauce for dipping. I'll put up pictures soon - I was too busy eating to take a picture the first time I had it...
