Hi! dragonfly ...Oh dear I supposed to post it at the questions portion. Didn't realize I opened a thread for this, which I believe is not necessary.
Tnx for the input, I will inquire the nearest hotel to my home. Any idea how much they charge? :))

Apple ...Good morning.
I would highly recommend to use the web for that purpose. You do not have to attend to course.
===================================== http://www.qatarlivi...
Apple said
Kelly ...Morning too! How's your day?
Tnx for a good idea...
But you know bro, I have difficulties in understanding some recipes terms:((
Besides, I wont be able to concentrate learning by browsing on net coz QL is bothering me, lol!

KellysHeroes said
Apple ...Me fine. Hope you are doing well.
terms are always misleading. specially when it comes to certain spices and herbs.
Would recommend the following roadmap: decide on a certain dish, look for it, try it some 10 times till you are confident you did it properly :D
When doubtful, post your question here. This is one of the objectives of QL I assume.
Meanwhile, you can check the following site:

Good luck

Im interested too... ...Hey!
if you find something, ask for discount for three!!!
PM me for details (or I will PM you, dont worry)
Yeah, you can find recipes on internet, but it is not the same... cmon! Interested in learn new recipes but share time and find new ppl, 'you know?
And in internet you can find recipes but you cannot taste so you never know if your dish can be improved or not...

Apple said
My dear kelly ...Try 10x for every dish i want? Hahaha yeah, practice makes perfect!
I remember once I cooked a certain food, then i prepared for dining, we ate...i asked..." how's the taste, darling?, u liked it?"
he replied...oh yea! very delicious **with a sour face**
:(((((

I remember... ...I made one time a "non-traditional" birthday cake for my gf.
I asked "Is it nice? Do you like it?"
And she replied: "Yes, I like it a lot... it is not necessary that you make again other year, please. we can afford to buy in shop..."

first cooking lesson ...make sure to distinguish between salt and sugar. Salt is mainly used for cooking and sugar is mainly used for sweets, coffee and tea. DO NOT swap roles :)
Also make sure to distinguish between ground black pepper and ground roasted coffee.

She was very very pollite... ...... and honestly, I had to agree.

Details about why (Im not so bad cooker), on RL chat. Too long for post...

Or you can just disregard the chef and the cooking part and just get together to drink.. ;)
Now that's got to be fun!

Lets arrange by PM.

KellysHeroes said
Apple ...The first lesson is not addressed to you. Just a general comment emphasising on the basics.
Actually I did the same mistake couple (if not more) of times. Was wondering why the "sugar" is dissolving very quickly. Then SPLASH and SPRAY upon the first sip :D
===================================== http://www.qatarlivi...
Apple said
Eu61 ...agreed! but am lil bit careful in using PM these days, because I recently found out that if someone(a troll) pm me, she forwarded my replies to anyone and change the whole story. Too bad!:(((
So, if i dont know the person for an enough period of time, expect an ignore replies from me.
But see, I will try to inquire in a certain establishment, just like DG said, then I will post in here further details.
And for sure, we are not only chatting here, and am serious with my queries:)

KellysHeroes said
Thank you nadt ...Great website and it seems the recipes are correct. But a general comment which angered Apple;P is when we try something new, it is not done properly right at te first time. Only thing s that one has to try again. Personall, I did many funny things till am able to cook properly. Even sometimes do or invent new things.
BTW. Lately I have succeeded to do our famous ka3k. It is 90% similar to what we get in Lebanon. Ate it with zaatar and Picon. Yummy :)

KellysHeroes said
Thought I told you nadt ...That am a professinal teaser when it comes to food.
Wait. will get you the recipe. Stay tuned
===================================== http://www.qatarlivi...
nadt said

KellysHeroes said
ka3k ...1 Kg Flour
1 1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup milk powder
1 TBSP active dry yeast
1 cup butter
1 TBSP mahlab (think it is known as St. Lewis Cherry powder)
2 1/2 to 3 cups warm water
mix dry ingredients and then add butter and water.
leave to dough to rise
roll dough balls to the size you like. for easy handling, make it a circle of 10 cms diameter.
place the rolls in the baking tray. cover with clean cloth and leave to rest for some 15 minutes. bake and enjoy
