Thank Good morning! Want to see some delicious recipes for breakfast using my goats Labneh? Scrambled eggs with Labneh takes me back to childhood I remember hating the taste of eggs, so my mum would try and create ways to disguise the egg taste by adding herbs or spices like cinnamon, or sumac or even yoghurt.. I love scrambled eggs with labneh especially when moped up with Markouk or village bread. Labneh was always prepared to have for breakfast or snacks. Arouss labneh was my favourite lunch box snack. The Arouss was flat Lebanese bread filled with labneh, olives, tomatoes, baby cucumber, and mint, and a drizzle of olive oil. My favourite snack of all time. I will be showing you the different ways of eating Labneh. I believe it is a healthy and nutritious treat,to start the day with or even incorporated in your salads and main meals. #labneh #labnehballs #breakfastideas #breakfastideasforkids #lebanesefood #lebanese_delicious_dishes #amoulsrecipes #amoulslabneh #marjeyoun #foodies #foodiesofinstagram #breakfast #eggs #eggs (at London, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/CFO5yO6JCgL/?igshid=1v2w4wag7zsm5

REVIEW

Around the World on a Bicycle by Fred A. Birchmore

 Timeless tale of an intrepid traveler – a treat for me to read in more ways than one. At 68 I have ridden a bike for miles but not as many miles as Fred did. I have been to some of the countries he visited though almost four decades later. I have been in countries on the brink of war and also during war. I have also grown in my world outlook – just as Fred did. As I read, I was taken away from thoughts of covid-19, the small village I live in here in Lebanon and found myself back in time both in the era of Fred but also in the time of my own life when I encountered similar experiences mentioned in the story.  As a good tale should, this book swept me in, made me feel part of the story – as if I was there with Fred, and made me eager to keep reading to find out what would happen next.

 What I liked:

* Fred – indomitable and yet at times young and naïve but always willing to try and to keep going

* The writing of what happened…as I said above…having experienced similar situations, countries and people I could definitely relate

* The believability of the tale since I had similar experiences myself

* Seeing the countries through Fred’s eyes

* Learning new things that I had not known before. What you ask? I had no idea camels had patterns shaved into their fur or that the carved-out cave-like dwellings for religious people and others existed in so many countries. I have seen them in Lebanon and Jordan but didn’t know they were elsewhere.

* Hearing about Vesuvius and the Matterhorn and Greece and more

* Knowing that good people existed then as they do now

* Hearing about food he ate in the terms he used. I am guessing the “pancakes” eh was talking about are local Arab breads: khubz and markouk

* Being reminded of being so young and naïve and how I felt when I first moved to Lebanon in 1978.

* Realizing how much I have grown as a person through my travel – just as Fred did in his

* Wondering if the years of writing in diaries and letters that I have done will one day be of as much interest to others as Fred’s story was to me.

 What I didn’t like:

* Being reminded that bigotry has always existed

* Being reminded of the destitute and homeless poor that have been and no doubt always will be with us.

* Remembering the fear that goes hand in hand with war and the rumors of it

 Did I like this book? Yes

Would I recommend it to others? Definitely – already have!

 Thank you to NetGalley and University of Georgia Press for the ARC – This is my honest review.

   BLURB

 This classic, once hard-to-find travelogue recalls one of the very first around-the-world bicycle treks. Filled with rarely matched feats of endurance and determination, Around the World on a Bicycle tells of a young cyclist’s ever-changing and maturing worldview as he ventures through forty countries on the eve of World War II. It is an exuberant, youthful account, harking back to a time when the exploits of Richard Byrd, Amelia Earhart, and other adventurers stirred the popular imagination. In 1935 Fred A. Birchmore left the small American town of Athens, Georgia, to continue his college studies in Europe. In his spare time, Birchmore toured the continent on a one-speed bike he called Bucephalus (after the name of Alexander the Great’s horse). A born wanderer, Birchmore broadened his travels to include the British Isles and even the Mediterranean. After a lengthy, unplanned detour in Egypt, Birchmore put his studies on hold, pointed Bucephalus eastward, and just kept going. From desert valleys to frozen peaks, from palace promenades to muddy jungle trails, Birchmore saw it all on his eighteen-month, twenty-five-thousand-mile odyssey. Some of the people he encountered had never seen a bike—or, for that matter, an Anglo-European. As a good travel experience should, Birchmore’s trip changed his outlook on strangers. Always daring, outgoing, and energetic, he now saw an innate goodness in people. In between bone-breaking spills, wild animal attacks, and privation of all kinds, Birchmore learned that he had little to fear from human encounters. That he traveled through a world on the brink of global war makes this lesson even more remarkable—and timeless.

Hummus for all! Our deliciously tahini forward hummus is topped with with smokey paprika, extra virgin olive oil and whole chickpeas for that contrast!

I love eggs and Awarma in a Markouk Saj sandwich, feeling the sogginess of the bread, the juiciness of the tomatoes without forgetting a sprinkle of pepper. #Traditionaleggs #eggsandwich #Lebanon #Lebanesefood (at Lebanon) https://www.instagram.com/p/B8qN82DhNHT/?igshid=zls5fcbom7qh

Yesterday I walked into this grocery store in my area and could not believe my eyes when I saw the Markouk bread on display. When I asked the shopkeeper where do you get this bread from he revealed that a lady from the south of Lebanon makes it and delivers it fresh daily. Suddenly I was taken back home,and was craving a delicious snack my mum used to make, the markouk bread spread with her goats labneh balls in olive oil and grilled on the WJaa’ (as called in Majayoun) which was a wood burning stove. So I rushed home to prepare it! I spread a good amount of my own goats labneh, and a generous drizzle of olive oil, the smell & taste of this delicious snack was intoxicating. So simple and so yummy 😋 #livelovemarjeyoun #homecooking #lebanon #lebanesefood #shareyourlebanon #simpledishes #amoulsrecipes #lebanese_delicious_dishes #marjeyoun https://www.instagram.com/p/BzaXmKxJBTE/?igshid=1qoxyfgocvnnx
