/ March 8, 2013Hello Sawsan,
I just happened upon your blog this morning as I was looking for a vegan pancake recipe. I made your Fluffy Pancakes and they were great! I’ve tried countless times to make a decent vegan pancake and they always come out either soggy in the middle and/or totally compressed and flat. These were wonderfully fluffy and tasty – finally I can eat pancakes again. Your blog is beautiful. So many amazing colourful recipes. I’m currently scouring it to see what I can make next.
Sawsan@ Chef in disguise
/ March 8, 2013I am really glad that the pancakes turned out so well. I know what you mean about trying endless recipes that never turn out right.
It is my pleasure that you found what you were looking for on my blog and took the time to leave me this kind message.
I hope to hear from you if you try any more recipes
Shama

Love,

I was hoping you could do something like this:
Top left, put the picture above.
Bottom right, put this one:
http://thefooddoctor.files.wordpress.com/2011/04/pizza-cone.jpg
then it’d be like a checkered box, so in the top left, put,
كُل و اتهنى
and bottom right finish it with,
انظر و اتمنى
although th original is
اطلب
I’ll be looking, so I changed it a bit…
Hey if your computer doesn’t type Arabic then let me know I’ll change it.
And if I’m not allowed 2 pics, then just the 1st is fine…
