– Moulay Bousselham, Morocco<\/p>\n

Some of the deliciousness my sister and I cooked up!<\/p>\n

I was clearly in a mint-tea-addiction-mood after a really delicious cup in Tanger\/Tangier when I first arrived. Mint is so much cheaper than in the states; I had to indulge.<\/p>\n

\"IMG_4456-2\" \"IMG_4460-2\"<\/p>\n

On the left is some kind of sweet, fried dough, and slices of cactus fruit, which I really love now. And on the right is some prosciutto that I picked up while in Ceuta, Spain.<\/p>\n

Mixing up some garlic spread in my sister’s beautiful ceramic dish.<\/p>\n

Grains of sea salt helps mash the garlic even further.<\/p>\n

\"IMG_4516-1\"<\/p>\n

Spread and pan-toasted on local rounds of bread.<\/p>\n

\"IMG_4518-1\"<\/p>\n

Topped with prosciutto, over easy eggs, and slices of gorgeous figs from the market.<\/p>\n

Breakfast!!<\/p>\n

\"IMG_4520-1\"<\/p>\n

One of the nights, we had eggplant, with seasoned salt, and brought home one fresh fish. I filleted it, pan-seared it, and used the head and tail to make a little soup. We had the eggplant and fish also with a light tomato and onion stew.<\/p>\n

Once upon a time, I mailed my sister a box of funfetti cake, and we made it post-birthday in her rice cooker (steamed cake!)<\/p>\n

\"IMG_4487-1\"<\/p>\n

She’s also good at making pancakes. And shared precious peanut butter, which has to be mailed or carried over in rare trips back from the states.<\/p>\n

\"IMG_4488-1\"<\/p>\n

She shared with me, the experience of going to her favorite cafe for internet and work sessions. She ordered me a tagine, coffee, and we bought cookies earlier from her neighborhood convenience shop (think, your local NYC bodega\/corner store).<\/p>\n

\"IMG_2780-2\"<\/p>\n

Another thing she is good at making, is the lentil burger patty. And barley. You can make barley stews in all sorts of flavors. Check out the McMoutarde ;)<\/p>\n

And yes, that is mint tea. And yes, that is ibuprofen. I was fighting fever all 4 weeks traveling the African continent.<\/p>\n

\"IMG_4490-1\"<\/p>\n

She made a really good over-easy. Complete with lentil patties and the local bread round.<\/p>\n

\"IMG_4493-2\"<\/p>\n

Then, one morning I decided to make french toast!<\/p>\n

\"IMG_4378-1\"<\/p>\n

\"IMG_4379-1\"<\/p>\n

\"IMG_4377-1\"<\/p>\n

\"IMG_4380-1\"<\/p>\n

Of course, I got Kinder eggs, and of different makes and styles. They are illegal in the US.<\/p>\n

\"IMG_2779-2\"<\/p>\n

She made this egg frittata! With zucchini and rosemary.<\/p>\n

\"IMG_4527-1\"<\/p>\n

And of course, fresh melon. I think I insisted, at the market. Love for fruit, is international.<\/p>\n
