So who is not guilty ?<br />Let us remind ourselves this is Dhofari Gucci Blog NOT Dhofari Sally Spectra/Jacki-O Blog .....and as for Brooke Logan : surely she is the "quintessential recyceable" girl. How many marriages ????Obviously no problem with Grandmother's blood. The gene pool of her kids, however, must be quite shallow.<br />Just for the record MUCHLEE is not arabic.It is probably the Hindi word MACHLI which (unfortunately for at least one post) means fish in general. It makes no sence to ask for "a machli" but is undoubtedly the source of amusment for the fish sellers.<br />Salaams MishkakAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9088783565849701867.post-17742915622494452432011-01-23T18:10:07.588+04:002011-01-23T18:10:07.588+04:00Love this post.

It has more twists and turns than the 'Bold And The Beautiful'(am I the only one to think Ridge is not handsome and does not deserve Brooke ?)I have to confess to feeling guilty. The Abu Dhabi Christmas tree which I was able to visit....view it by google... had amazing decorations, especially the ruby necklace placed 4 branches up from the bottom.The nearby gold-dispensing ATM was really convient for last minute gifts - we always forget somebody or other who suprises us with an unexpected present.<br /> I feel people should not be so quick to critisize . The tree was artificial so no Rain Forests were violated. Gold and diamonds are the quintessential recycleable materials. Witness the time we spend annually in the gold souq refreshing our jewelry.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9088783565849701867.post-91223381267175892972011-01-21T08:20:42.980+04:002011-01-21T08:20:42.980+04:00My (mixed marriage) mother-in-law spent 8 happy ye...My (mixed marriage) mother-in-law spent 8 happy years in Salalah, so I thought I would impress her by making Qisher, and baking a cake.She is normally VERY critical of my kichen skills but she loved the Qisher drinking 3 cups of it leaving only 1 for my husband, her eldest son.This was probably too much liquid intake, as thereafter she could only manage one small mouthful of the cake I had baked specially for her. She told my husband that it tasted like "muchlee" and he told me this means "sweet" in their local language. Perhaps this explains why the fishermen do not understand when you ask for "a muchlee"Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9088783565849701867.post-23165810860842148342011-01-19T22:46:02.120+04:002011-01-19T22:46:02.120+04:00Thanks for reminding us of Qishir.My Yemini grandm...Thanks for reminding us of Qishir.My Yemini grandmother ust to make it , but from the ground husks of coffee beans.

I have checked my diary and can confirm ( as requested ) it is 2011. A usful tip to avoid the embarrassment of requesting such confirmations.......the local newspapers always have the year (day and date also) on the top of the front page. You even do not have to buy the paper. Just write down the year on a piece of paper. If you repeat this on a regular basis you will even see when the year changes.
