The Family Cookoff was...Delicious

Dude that was some good food. My dad's sister Tika brought out decades of pure Egyptian kitchen awareness and took the grand prize of 200 bucks. She deserves it: this is the lady who would start cooking dinner for us in Egypt while we took the plates off the table from lunch. Not joking.

My cousin Teresa won the Filo category with a corn-and-feta-pocket thing, my dad's cousin's wife Suzy took top prize in the Koshary category, and my dad's cousin's cousin's wife Marlene (Titi) won desser with her yummy flan (Tika took the other two categories). My cousin's husband Ulises and his daughter Raquel made some amazing stuff--I thought his filo and dessert plates were the best non-Egyptian dishes. And Eddie, Mom, and Heather made some good stuff in some of the other categories. They show promise for next year!

You Got Herbed.

And this is why I hate Arabic television in our house:

Andrew: What are you guys doing for the Fourth of July?
Mom (completely serious): Wait just one second, they're talking about parsley.
