Makin' it in Misr

My name is Amaal and I am currently living in Egypt (Misr). I've lived here almost 3 years. Upon arrival, one of the first things I noticed was the difference in food. Take-Out is easy because you have a variety of restaurants to choose from, but when it comes to a home-cooked meal, things get a little tricky. Especially if you don't speak the Arabic language. The first year was rough but I lost lots of weight :).I'm learning how to substitute and simply MAKE IT IN MISR!!!
