@ Rebecca
You eat it like a dip (well, you scope it with Arabic or pitta bread). Alternatively make Muhammara without Bulgur or bread crumbs, open pitta bread in halfs, spread the muhammara and put under the grill for a couple of minutes. Best snak ever!!
@ Allie
Thank you very much - 15 June 2009 06:57

I just discovered your blog. Very witty and interesting to read. Thanks! Also, I have seen recipes for muhammara that use 3 types of nuts and fry them first..Ah! now, I am confused!

Hi there and welcome to my blog. Thanks for the nice words. I just checked your blog, nice work. Great to see blogs dedicated to Arabic food.
Regarding muhammara, like all other mezze there is no right or wrong. Everyone has their own recipe. I assume the nuts are walnuts, pine nuts, ... but what is the third one? - 22 June 2009 20:39

I adore this! I discovered Muhammara when I fist arrived in Saudi Arabia years ago. I buy it from this restaurant - run by Syrians! - but I've never attempted to make it myself. Now I have a recipe to fall back on when I leave Saudi.

Hi Deborah
Welcome to my blog.
You should try to make it. It will taste different for sure but as good, I hope. Muhammara is one of the dishes that never taste the same in different restaurants or using different recipes. - 26 June 2009 18:53

An easy way to roast the peppers is to put them directly onto the gas flame on the stove top. They blacken very quickly and you can then add them to a bowl with clingfilm on top and the skins come off really easily.

- Kano said...
Thanks for the tip. I use this technique with aubergines to make Baba Ghanoush and Mutabal.
For Muhammara I was trying to recreate the sun-dried peppers paste you buy in Syria. Roast peppers work for this recipe but not to the same extent. - 14 September 2009 19:37

Thank just discovered your blog my first time ever on this medium of communication. Please can you give me some ideas I am hosting an Eid breakfast Midle eastern Medditeranean theme making hummous muhammara baba ghanouj with a platter of olives,cheese artichokes and then roasted lamb shoulder with pita should add or leave out something and what quantities would you make for 50 people? thanks for your generosity in sharing your knowledge
- 15 September 2009 14:40
- Kano said...
Woow 50 people! That is some big meal you are cooking.
Are you cooking a breakfast or dinner?
What are planning to do with artichokes? are they whole baby artichoke or Syrian-style hearts only?
Regarding quantities, I never cooked to any more than 10 people, but I think you need to multiply the quantities in my mezze recipes five folds.
I think you should offer some salad, Fatoush is your ideal option as tabouleh will take ages to chop parsley for 50 people.
Another thing I can suggest that is easy to make and feed loads of people is cheese borek (filo pastry rolls with a stuffing of white cheese, parsley, salt and black pepper) you can make them in advance and freeze them then on the day brush with butter and bake in the oven. - 15 September 2009 19:19

Interesting. Burghul instead of bread crumbs. Forgive me, but there is nothing that irritates me more than Bulgur, the way the Armenians pronounce Burghul. I guess they introduced it to the West so Bulgur stuck. I wish those who know though would use Burghul. Some well known cook book authors do.
Re--Muhammara, while I have not tried it with burghul, we use walnuts sometimes, 100%, and sometimes mixed with bread crumbs. It is excellent either way. - 25 October 2009 07:20
- Kano said...
I appreciate what you said about Bulgar vs. Burghul but this blog is not directed at Syrians or Arabs only. I hope that it will attract a good non-Arabic speaking readership. For the benefit of those people I decided to use Wikipedia spelling whenever I can. So if somebody is not familiar with an ingredient they can google it and it comes on top of the page. - 25 October 2009 09:51

I realize this is an older entry, but I'd love to have some info - I have been making this from recipes on the net and one is never sure what is authentic. The red pepper paste you descripe sounds very dry, but the jarred peppers are not at all dry. How can they be substitutes? I've been roasting the peppers over fire and peeling them. The result tastes good to everyone, but no Syrians have been at the table so maybe it is way off. The hot pepper isn't an essential part of the dish? I had never heard of the dish and came upon a recipe by chance -- pure senendipity. There is rarely a middle eastern dish we don't like and this was no exception. I'll have to go through your other posts.

Welcome to my blog.
Authentic muhamara is a fairly dry spread, much thicker in consistancy than hummus. To get authentic muhammara you need the "dry" red pepper paste that why I tried to slowly dry the peppers in the oven to get most of moisture out. But if you mix the dry pepper paste and bread crumbs you will end up with very dry mix. You will need fairly generous amount of loive oil or even some water to loosen it up to the right consistancy. If you use jar peppers you will not need as much extra moisture.
Hot peppers are optinal, in Aleppo muhammara will be hotter than that of Damascus. This a variation on the recipe like using cumin or garlic or tahini to add an extra flavour.
Last vthing I want to mention this is our family recipe and we like to use bulgur instead of bread crumbs (although my mum occasionally mix the two)
Hope this has answered your question. please let me know if you want to know more. - 6 February 2010 09:01
- charlotte said...
What a great blog this is! Apparently I'm not the only one strugling with the moisture-problem when preparing muhammara back in Europe. Everybody here likes it, still, it's not quite what it tasted like in Damascus...
I have another question, now spring is finally setting in, I'd fancy a fresh limon bi nanah! But I haven't discovered a recipe yet, do you happen to know of any?
Thank you - 15 March 2010 15:15
- Kano said...
Welcome to my blog. I am glad you like it.
As I mentioned before you need a generous amount of olive oil and possibly some water to get it right. If the flavour is not the same as the one you tried in Damascus, the most likely cause is the red pepper paste. The one you get in Syria is strong flavoured and quite sweet. So try to re-create that by adding sugar or more pomegranate molasses.
I like to add a spoon or two of tahini and it works very well for me.
Lemon bi Nanah recipe is on its way, I promise! - 17 March 2010 19:36
- Shadowfax said...
How many red peppers would I need to make 250g of red pepper paste?
- 23 March 2011 12:16
- Kano said...
Welcome to my blog and sorry for the late reply.
Not sure exactly but I would thought you need 500g to start with. - 3 April 2011 07:23
- William said...
Hi Kano, this recipe looks absolutely amazing! I think the best I ever had was in the restaurant called Old Town, somewhere in Bab Touma, although I would agree with you that Naranj was probably the finest of the eateries in the Old City. I loved Al Khawali though, mainly because of the bread and the atmosphere, and there was an amazing little place I used to frequent called Al-Shamiat somewhere in the New City which was perfection. I actually found a restaurant in London serving muhammara the other day which I reviewed (http://sugarstreetreview.com/food/restaurants/kaslik/). Would love to know if you have any recommendations of places to go!

Tonya has been reporting stories happening in the Pee Dee for more than 10 years.
Safe Auto is looking to sell its now vacant building following the closing of its call center in the Hemingway community of Williamsburg County.
Safe Auto Vice President Mark LeMaster says they met with county and state officials Wednesday regarding the 22,500 square-foot facility.
He added they're specifically looking for other companies with call centers who may be interested in buying the building.
LeMaster isn't saying what the building is worth.
The call center closed Tuesday sending 165 employees to the unemployment lines.
LeMaster says the closing was a part of their needs to reduce space and had nothing to do with the workers performance.
The employees received pay for the next 60 days and were told to apply for unemployment benefits.
Safe Auto's call center had been in Williamsburg County since 2003.

Thread: Changing the leaf springs?
Changing the leaf springs?
I have a 2/4 drop on my 07 silverado I'm planning on replacing the front struts and springs with belltech and was wondering about the leaf springs I see belltech has a 4in drop leaf spring which I assume would be better do to the pressure my stock is having right now. Has anyone done this before and if it's a good idea? The rear also has been replaced with belltech shocks.
12-25-2012, 01:00 PM #2i havent worked with much when it comes to lowering trucks, but if you havent already got one, there are several companies that sell rear spring shackles that are longer, providing a drop in ride height, these are relatively simple to put in aswell.
Hope this info was helpful
12-25-2012, 10:38 PM #3Im not sure what pressure you might be refering to the only real change youve made with longer shackles is a change of angle that only slightly increased leverage on the leaf springs. One issue with using lowering leaf springs is they get the lower stance by flatening the springs or giving them a negative arch which causes them to have a much rougher ride than factory. For a smooth soft ride you need some positive arch on the leaf springs.
12-26-2012, 05:59 PM #4it was this kit http://djmsuspension.com/products/djm2507-24/ a flip kit and it puts some pressure on the stock leaf springs. I already replaced the rear shocks but you can look at the springs and see that the end of the leaf spring looks off just a bit.
12-26-2012, 10:46 PM #5another option would be to flip the axle so its sitting on top of the springs.this usually requires notching the frame tho

I bolted this on Easter of 2009. Ben Spannuth perfected his cobra strike to snag the FA on May 2, 2012. It is a difficult and high quality climb. It has 5 bolts of 30 degree overhung granite to a topout. Pinches, crimps, slopers, underclings, mantles, crazy tension moves, dynos, it's all here. Bring your 'A' game! Jump start to the jug horn and mantle to clip the first bolt. Defy gravity and stand up into a small thumb undercling, and then press into a larger undercling to clip bolt #2. Then climb a V7 boulder problem straight into a V10 boulder problem with a stopper deadpoint right at the lip. Grab the incut over the lip, mantle, and climb unprotected 5.8 slab to the chains. The higher you go on the slab, the easier it gets, but if you fall, you'll hit the ground. I didn't put a bolt on the slab because the lip is pretty darn sharp and could cut the rope. If you make it to the slab, you shouldn't fall though.... It is not recommended to lower from the chains, that would kill your rope (remember the sharp lip...). Instead, untie and walk off.
Climb the large black streak up the center of The Project Wall.
5 bolts to anchors.
Fate is no longer in heaven, ehh? I still think about this climb and how awesome it is.
Maybe when it gets warmer I'll be more motivated to try it. First couple moves are boring (me being a dynamic climber), but past the 2nd draw looks doable for me after projecting it for a while.
Stuck the lip move from the ground once, but fell going to the jug. I could get to the last move on every redpoint go. Then I tore my A4 pulley on the low crux. I am graduating and will probably never climb the route again. Happy hunting everyone, the FA is still up for grabs. EDIT: Man, do I sound like a wet blanket up there...I recovered and sent it!
First the cobra, then the mongoose.... Senor Spannuth gets it done!
Congrats on sending it. This wall always looks deceivingly vertical until you get under or to the side of it.
I moved the first two bolts to improve the rope line and eliminate the need for a long draw on the second bolt.

The frames arrived last week for the sculpture lamps and I couldn't wait to get started.
Mary Hansen has designed these lamps for her client's bedside tables. The sculptures are by Debra Fritts and were purchased at the Pacini Lubel Gallery in Seattle.
Mary chose a linen sheer from Henry Calvin.
I gathered the linen on the oval frame for a shirred effect, tightly at the top and less full at the bottom.
Then I sewed in the lining and trimmed it close.
I trimmed the top and bottom edges with the same linen, folded and pressed about 1/2 inch wide. I could have stopped there with the self trim but we wanted to elevate these plain lamp shades to a work of art worthy of the sculpture they will be illuminating.
First I cut a bias piece of the linen about 1 3/4 inch wide and shredded the top and bottom edges. Then I sewed irregular and random stitches with embroidery thread.
All finished.
I'm looking forward to seeing them in the clients home.

You've been asking what's our plan for 2007 with the free calls in North America. We've been saying we'll announce it before the end of this year. And today is the day.
Today, we [announced](http://about.skype.com/2006/12/skype_announces_new_skype_unli.html) Skype Unlimited. There's bad news and good news.
The bad news is that you'll have to pay a bit.
The good news is that it's a simple one-time purchase and there are no catches. You'll get free calls for a year for an incredible price, plus other goodies like coupons for discounts on top-notch Skype hardware from our selected partners.
How it works:
* you go to [Your Account](http://www.skype.com/go/myaccount). If you're eligible for the Unlimited plan, you'll automatically see the prompt to buy it.
* the price is $14.95 if you buy before end of January 2007. From February, the price will be $29.95.
* if you buy before end of 2006, you get free unlimited calls until the end of 2007. If you buy in 2007, you get free unlimited calls for 12 months after your purchase.
* the calls continue to be totally free until the end of 2006 as we've previously said, no change in that. But there's no risk in stocking up for 2007 so that you wouldn't forget it in the Christmas and New Year holiday craze — if you go and buy the plan for $15 right away, you're good to go in the new year.
* you'll get the partner coupons delivered in the e-mail that we send you after the purchase.
* the details are mostly the same as with this year's free calls — for example, it works within the US and Canada for both landline and mobile calls.

You should work on a similar offer for Europe too. International calls within Europe are relatively high, broadband internet penetration is high, Skype is generally known. If you would offer a flat fee SkypOut subscription and sell it via the classic retail channels, you would have a bestseller!

Is there a way to purchase a Skype Unlimited gift certificate for someone? It seems that you can only purchase SkypeOut credit gift certificates right now. This would make a great holiday gift.
treabama said 7 years ago
the question I have is will the lag and cutouts be better? I have had Skype awhile and alot of times it is impposible to use because of lousy connections. It isn't my broadband, I use a broaband provider that has one of the fastest speeds in country. I would hope that this would be fixed before I pay. I like Skype, and It's friendy GUI, but I hate in and out service.
will that be corrected? -
mikebell said 7 years ago
I've got the same question as Jason – can we buy Unlimited for someone else's account?
teller said 7 years ago
To: jasonwtan – Currently there are no gift certificates for this product. What will be possible from the beginning of the new year is purchasing the Unlimited Calling plan for your existing Skype Credit. So you could do normal Skype Credit gift cert to a friend which they would use to buy the plan.

What is frustrating about this offer is that Skype has always embraced the philosophy that it doesn't matter where you are but where you are calling to. Now this plan subverts this idea by treating people differently based upon their physical location. Yes I know its all about marketing and ensuring a deeper penetration for Skype in the US market. But shouldn't we, loyal long time customers, be treated equal and offered the same advantages for US calling?

i recieved an email to sign up for skype unlimited and when i got into my account to pay it doesnt allow me that option. I am a north american client with address and billing in north american is there some sort of problem with this service
mkztg1 said 7 years ago
I agree with visaonet. Why is Skype concerning themselves with my location instead of where I am calling? This was my same argument with the free calling within the USA/Canada as long as you were in USA/Canada. I am military overseas. I can't get an IP that says I am in the US so I can't make use of the great deals Skype offers. Hey Skype, how about working a deal for the troops overseas! Thanks.
tomsenuta said 7 years ago
Same thing I searched for an hour trying to Sign up for this special. I have a US address but I am calling from Venezuela. They will not let me sign up for the unlimited Special!!!
bdh98a said 7 years ago
I have the same problem as lawanda.dixon. I received the email, but I don't find any link to buy Skype Unlimited, and I also have not had free calls to North America at all. I have been charged during this whole year.
Is there an answering post to lawanda.dixon's question?
mickyscandinavia said 7 years ago
Hear me out: why don't you triple the price, offer skypein in bundle and bring the same offer to Europe?
campilii said 7 years ago
I'd be willing to pay $50-100 a year for UNLIMITED SkypeIn and SkypeOut to the USA!
campilii said 7 years ago
That is, from Italy and rest of Europe!

i writing like other skyper's, i cannot find a form or info where i can sign up for the unlimited call plan. the press release does not state only certain members can sign up. i contacted skype's vp mr. haas and his reply was go to skype.com. please help, i travel a lot and its important i call home regular due a very sick father. appreciate your help. h.r. ensinger
freddy.fullerton said 7 years ago
As a new member of Skype, I am amazed to find that Lil-ole Europe can not be included in your Big Deal offer? We joined up in two World Wars as one fighting force, but we are excluded when it comes to a Special Offer? Please explain why?

vrs12345 said 7 years ago
I can sign in to get this offer. It also says I'll get *1 hour of international calls. How do you keep track of that. Do you credit me with 60min*$.021/min= $1.26 to my account. Since I already have a balance of $2.98, will my account have a balance of $1.26+2.98=$4.24.
paladin252 said 7 years ago
You should allow people anywhere in the world purchase this unlimited calls to the us and canada. that way all calls to north america are free, no matter where live or visit.
davidviolin said 7 years ago
I just bought the unlimited plan. what I dont get is why I have to pay normal skypeout rates when i am in europe, even though the calls are to the US and Canada. Where is the Logic?
andyaude said 7 years ago

The internet bandwidth skype needs to transfer all that voice/data over the internet accross the Atlantic for a gagillion users has got to cost some $$$. 2 cents per minute is quite fair.
yukojs said 7 years ago
Well, I received the promotional e-mail about the deal, but somehow I am not promoted to buy this. I live in the US, and should be eligible. Strange, and there is no explanation why. Somebody, please help!
charleshg said 7 years ago
Disappointing but typical. Once Skype became American owned, it became American centric. Now it's a case of "America first, everyone else can wait." and, perhaps, "Let's see how we can squeeze a bit more revenue from our users. I know, let's charge them a connection fee as well as asking them to pay for the calls." It might be worth mentioning that the EU is a larger trading bloc than America.
Having had this bleat, it's still the best VOIP around and I shall continue to be a Skype user.
san-dro said 7 years ago
I want to complain too.
Upset for the "gift" to americans only.
VERY upset for the new call setup fees.There are other, solid, alternatives. The big Y goes for 0.01$ per minute for US destination, from everywhere in the world, and no call setup fees!!!
5 minutes call to US is:
$0.144 + VAT with Skype
$0.05 with YSkype please do something, you are loosing me!
coolcatbrie said 7 years ago
I agree with those out the US concerned over special pricing here. Skype started out as a great idea but they were greedy and sold out to eBay. (note that THEY sold out for a couple billion $) Now although the connections overseas work ok, they are not as clear as they used to be. Skype is more worried now about getting "Skype Certified" on everything and selling packages than providing good service. Seems like that's what happens when a US company buys anything…get as much $$ as you can and degrade the service till people complain too much.
It's not right that US users have access to this unlimited calling and the rest of the world doesn't. Skype needs to do something about this or they'll lose customers. And everyone, plz don't judge all of us over here together. I think a one price policy should apply to all. It's the company's fault for not extending this internationally, not the citizens. As with most places, we're at the whim of huge multinational companies and government. (just like a certain Iraq issue going on right now)
rivercity1 said 7 years ago
I have tried about a dozen times to sign up for the unlimited plan for $14.95. I've used three different cards with plenty of credit and debit capacity. Each and every attempt has been "refused." I've received only a general email about common issues from tech support. What is the problem and what is a customer service number I can call to make the payment? Thanks S.
macseamus said 7 years ago
Skype used to have something special about it, probably because it was a non-US company. I have to agree with charleshg. This is all gone now. Skype is still OK for chatting, but has lost ALL price competetivity with the many other voip providers out there. The Incoming numbers are still good value, but really limited in location. I would say something about call quality, because a lot of people mention it. Skype still, most of the time seems to be able to adapt best to connections, obviously it sounds "worse" than some systems that use use higher bandwidth codecs, but it's probably the only voip system that allows you to carry on a call over something like a satelite connection, or a dodgy wireless connection that drops a lot of packets.
and by the way, I have to clarify relating to this:
by Davidviolin:>The internet bandwidth skype needs to transfer all >that voice/data over the internet accross the >Atlantic for a gagillion users has got to cost some >$$$. 2 cents per minute is quite fair.
David, check out how skype works. the costs are about exit points, (entry to the telecom networks) + call termination charges. Nothing to do with transatlantic bandwidth.
olganet13 said 7 years ago
I am very disapointed with Skype for being so unresponsive to so many complaints about the new unlimited offer. I as many of other Skype users recieved an email to sign up for skype unlimited and when i got into my account to pay it doesnt allow me that option. I am a north american client with address and billing in north america. There is No adequate response from Customer Service. This is not a one user problem. Skype should respond to it in a general way. Are they understaffed or just don't care?!?!
michael.weseen said 7 years ago
"Skype Unlimited for North America — free SkypeOut calls for 2007 for $14.95″
so now 15$ is considered "free"??
It's ridiculous anyway that Skype would charge that much for the service they provide. I am in Canada and when it was still FREE in 2006 I called people in Canada and the US but the quality of the call was horrible. The people on the other end could never hear a word that I was saying, and the static was so loud it was hard to hear what they were saying. This whole Skype business is just another ploy to extract money from us for bad service. Right on, Skype… -
yulin.qian said 7 years ago
Whats special about Skype is that it start with a great idea. I still remember that the company said that all calls in NA are free and later it may will be free to call other countries too. However, I have never heard that the company considers charging their customers in NA in the future.
And now, we have this "pay only $14.95 for free calls in NA"… Skype, you are going down the wrong path and you are disappointing your customers!
ccbenn said 7 years ago
I was mislead into thinking you can call from anywhere, it's where you're calling TO that matters. When I bought the Unlimited plan I didn't think it was any different, and it wasn't obviously specified. It is very frustrating to be mislead like this, and to be overseas and not be able to use the plan I paid for.
ms_ivory01 said 7 years ago
I completely agree. I use Skype mainly to call US numbers but I live in Belgium. I would be willing to pay at least 50 $ to have Skype Unlimited.Something needs to be done!
ronreyes said 6 years ago
Would it work here in Japan if I purchased the Unlimited to US and Canada ?

We just returned from our visit to Nica. We stayed in a 2 bedroom/2 bathroom villa that sits right on the beach. The views were BEYOND amazing and the hiking was awesome! We did a lot of walking, since we didn't rent a car. We're buying one of the villas, so I suspect we'll have to get a golf cart... More

Fairytales and Bohemian Trails
Posted on July 22nd, 2011
It's been a bit tricky checking in with you guys this week since I've been on long haul flights and then site-seeing in Prague. Right now I'm sitting in a massive fairytale like room at a window overlooking weeping willows on a road trip through Bohemia in the Czech Republic. I'm going to do my best to post some piccies of the beautiful sights I'm seeing along the way! Then I'm off to Sweden to visit some friends and in Gothenburg. xx
