falafel

Well I tried to make it on Saturday but I think I failed.. :(
When I did everything which was written in the recipe, it was completely falling apart during frying... I had to add an egg to save my meal. But finally it wasn't as good as the original one (although my family claimed it was delicious - but they haven't eaten the real one). Maybe because I used brown chickpeas?..

I take comfort in that men in Amman make falafel every day and this was my first time. Maybe next time it will be better..

I didn't take any pictures, I was to heavy with cooking. :)

here we are.. again..

We're back!
Making a long story short: Egypt is dirty and annoying while Jordan is amazing, beautiful, interesting and breathtaking. :)
it's our picture from Petra (do you remember Indiana Jones' adventures in this place? :P). For me it was the most remarkable and prodigious place we visited during this trip.. Simply wow! I myself was acting like whole bunch of japanese tourists - i took one photo after another because everything was sooo amazing and worth perpetuating.
In Amman Radek showed us real city (not the part destined only for tourists) with its inhabitants and their real life. I bought some truly amazing spices and i'm going to cook orginal jordanian dish - falafel (Radek and Ola took us for supper and we ate it there) made from chickpeas and parsley with special spices. The day we spent in Amman was superb and i'm glad that we resigned from going at Dead Sea for it.
Eh.. And now we have to come back to reality, real life, work and studies.... :(

Jordan here we come!

Tomorrow we are starting our trip - Egypt+Jordan, a week for each of these countries :)
I'm looking forward to go there, I'm tired of sitting 18 hours a day in front of computer :/ I want some vacations :)
We are flying to Egypt first, and we are resting there. We have plan: to go to Cairo to see The Pyramids and National Museum.. Maybe ten some scuba diving? We'll see.. :)

After that we are going to Jordan and we will see Radek, Mateusz's brother there. He studies in Amman arabic filology. We want to see some historical places and visit some non-touristic sights in Amman. Maybe Radek will show us them..

Anyway, I have two weeks without work, school, computer and getting up early. Yupi! :D
