The 2015 Disney Vacation Club Membership Extras have been released. On the DVCMember.con website under Membership Magic, you can download a handy flyer to print off and take with you on your next Disney Vacation Club vacation. But keep in mind that you don't have to been staying at a DVC resort using points or even staying on property to take advantage of the discounts and perks. Just be sure to have your DVC member card with you.
Is it just me, but didn't we just get through the 2014 holiday season? But I appreciate Disney Vacation Club announcing the 2015 Member Merry Mixer dates, especially with the 11 month window for making DVC reservations during that time of year upon us. Here is the announcement posted on DVCMember.com.
Select Disney Vacation Club members staying on points at the Walt Disney World Resort January 13th, 14th, 15th received an email invitation to take a sneak peak at "the newest addition to the neighborhood." DVC Members who received the email invitation will be able to tour the Disney's Polynesian Villas & Bungalows Deluxe Studio model at the Disney Vacation Club Preview Center at Disney's Saratoga Springs Resort & Spa. The studios are the largest Deluxe Studios at the Walt Disney World Resort. And while rendered drawing of the studios have been released on the DVCMember.com website, I am excited to see photos of the real thing.
I placed a call to Disney Vacation Club Member services this past week and was surprised to hear I had a 35 minute wait. I needed to make some date changes to one of my upcoming reservations and was initially very frustrated that I would have to wait on hold so long. My first thought was that it was perhaps a time of holiday staffing at DVC Member Services and then I remembered. The first week of January is always an extremely busy time for Member Services because DVC members are making reservations for that upcoming December, one of the busiest times for DVC reservations.

Q: one to one relationship in Phalcon model not returning object I have two models in Phalcon .I am getting the model object of the first model using the Placon Model::find().
The problem is I cannot get model object which has an one to one relation with the first model.
I have tried everthing given in Phalcon tutorial.
Gave hasone in first Model on initialize
 public function initialize()
 {
     $this->hasOne("emp_id", "Employee", "emp_id");
 }

Where emp_id is the primary key of Employee table and Foreign key in Salary table, which is my second model.

A: For that you have to specify the relation between 2 models, and how those two models are related. To get one-to-one relation object you can use hasOne relation  or hasMany for many-to-many relations.
  $this->hasOne('emp_id', '(path to your model)', 'emp_id', array(
                'alias' => 'employeeId',
                'reusable' => true
            ));

Ex: if you have a Employee object and you need access the one-to-one related objects you must use Employee.employeeId to get the related object.

Bridge Nutrition Officially Open at The Square @ Bridgeport
Home » Full Visitor News » Bridge Nutrition Officially Open at The Square @ Bridgeport
Full Visitor News
Bridge Nutrition at The Square @ Bridgeport kicked off the weekend with a grand opening. It was a busy scene Friday as community members stopped to welcome business owners Dena and Wade Milner and to order an herbal or special tea, iced protein coffee, shake or smoothie; all meal replacements packed with vitamins and nutrients.
Dena Milner, who was busy whipping up drinks – flavors ranging from apple crisp to tropical paradise – said she is thrilled with Bridge Nutrition's first official day after a week-long low-key, soft opening.
"Everyone has been so supportive," she said, adding that neighboring businesses have rolled out the welcome mat and are helping to promote The Square's newest tenant. "It's just been amazing."
Located on South Virginia Avenue, The Square also houses Insight Astronomy, Champion Pharmacy, Fat Tire Cycle & Sport and Dollar General. Milner said it's a great community of businesses and she believes hers is a good fit.
"Everything we do is going to work hand in hand for the betterment of the community of Bridgeport," she said.
Featuring Herbalife products, the healthy shakes, smoothies, teas and coffees offer a healthy option for breakfast, lunch or dinner, she said.
"We have something for everyone," Milner said. "Toddlers come in and get a meal replacement shake and think they are just having a milkshake. It tastes great, but they are also getting the vitamins and minerals they need."
The couple, who own stores in Morgantown and throughout Ohio, said they were drawn to Bridgeport because of the athletic presence and health consciousness.
Displayed throughout the store are Herbalife products available for purchase, including vitamins, cell activators, skin care products and an athletic line.
The new store – which features a sit-down bar, high-top table, country music and finishing touches, such as photo op angel wings – is just as they envisioned it.
Bridge Nutrition is open 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Thursday; 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. Friday, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday and 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Sunday.
The Milners have three employees and already have plans for further expansion.
"We want to give other people opportunities to build their own businesses and help their own families in their communities," Dena Milner said.

Average Grocery Spending in 10…
I am the first to admit that I spend a lot of money on food. Therefore, I was not surprised to learn that my monthly spending exceeds that of even the most expensive average grocery spending across the United States. However, I was surpirsed to learn that the average grocery spending in my city of San Francisco didn't even make the top ten list! Looking closer, though, I could see why.
Average Grocery Spending vs. Average Food Spending
Business Insider recently reported on average grocery spending statistics as determined by the Bureau of Labor Statistics' Consumer Expenditure Surveys. They listed 22 cities showing average grocery spending per month that ranged from $286 – $500. That's for households of 1-3 people.
I was surprised to see that San Francisco was ranked #11 on the list with average grocery spending of just $374. I easily spend more than $500 per month on groceries. However, when I looked more closely, I saw that they also list "average total food spend." In other words, people don't just get their food from grocery stores. We also eat at restaurants.
San Francisco's average total food spend is $743 per month. While that's certainly not the highest on the list, it looks like it would place this city in the top ten for highest total food spending. That makes more sense. We not only dine out a lot but our restaurants are expensive.
Average Grocery and Food Spending Across 10 Major Cities
Here are the numbers for the ten most expensive cities on the list (as ranked by average grocery spending alone, not total food spending combined):
1. Chicago, IL
People in Chicago spend about $376 per month at the grocery store. However, they spend $680 per month total on food.
2. Washington, DC
3. Twin Cities, MN
People in Minneapolis-St. Paul spend about $393 per month at the grocery store. However, they spend $714 per month total on food.
4. Philadelphia, PA
People in Philly spend about $405 per month at the grocery store. However, they spend $683 per month total on food.
5. Denver, CO
People in Denver spend about $421 per month at the grocery store. However, they spend $737 per month total on food.
6. Boston, MA
Bostonians spend about $426 per month at the grocery store. However, they spend $688 per month total on food.
7. Anchorage, Alaska
People in Anchorage spend about $440 per month at the grocery store. However, they spend $692 per month total on food.
8. Honoloulu, HI
People in Honolulu spend about $430 per month at the grocery store. However, they spend $836 per month total on food. It's not surprising that Alaska and Hawaii are among the top spenders. After all, it costs a lot of money to transport food to those locations. Therefore, food costs are higher there.
9. San Diego, CA
People in Chicago spend about $447 per month at the grocery store. However, they spend $832 per month total on food. I was surprised to see that San Diego was the California city that topped the list for average grocery spending and average food spending in total. I would have guessed that San Francisco would be higher and Los Angeles would be up there as well. I would have guessed wrong.
People in Seattle spend about $498 per month at the grocery store. However, they spend $913 per month total on food.
My own personal spending tends to line up more with the pricey Seattle rates than the average grocery spending for my own area. This is due largely to the fact that I tend to buy a lot of prepackaged foods. I know what I'm doing wrong and where I could save money on groceries. It's just a matter of implementing that more. Therefore, this list is a bit of a wake up call!

Renovated in 2002 and 2009 it is three-storey buliding with 7 luxury, 346 double and 15 single rooms.
Welcome to Nesebar Beach Hotel Sunny Beach Bulgaria!


June, July, August are the months when summer sets in to the peak in most part of the world. The region we live, Middle East is that part of the world, where there's soaring high temperatures. The heat is unbearable and it is during this season that juices, drinks, mocktails and ice creams are consumed in large quantities. We make different fresh juices and infused waters to hydrate ourselves.
Squash is a form of concentrate used to make beverages or drinks. Squash also known as cordial/dilute is a concentrated form of non-alcoholic syrup which is made with fruit concentrate, sugar and water. This is diluted with water and served chilled with icecubes too. Fruits are generally used to make squashes. Seasonal fruits are also preserved in this form.
Mango season sets in a mood of festivities in everyone. This season is celebrated in every part of India. I make use of this season to maximum by making whatever possible. Earlier I had made mango murabba video and this time it is Passionfruit Mango squash. Passion fruit and Mangoes are both drool worthy and is loved by everyone at home. Passion fruit is an intriguing and mysterious fruit which has a distinct aroma and flavor which can sedate you.
A creeper in nature, this fruit has many health benefits too. enhance digestion power, boosts immunity, improves eye and skin health, helps in reducing inflammation and has anti aging properties too. The best part of this fruit is that it grown in warm climates and can be seen through out the year. Climatic reason is why Passion fruit has become so popular in my home state, you can see it grown in almost all the houses. It is a popular breakfast food, juice, snack and flavor additive to salsa, salads and desserts.
For this squash, I've taken Passion fruit in larger quantity than mangoes. I wanted the distinct taste of passion fruit with the sublime flavor of mangoes. Mangoes aid in getting the concentrated thick syrup with its tangy, sweet heavenly flavor. Both these fruits are just amazing which is what makes this squash a delightful beverage. Citric acid is generally used in drinks and squashes. About 50 percent of the world's citric acid production is used as a flavor enhancer in beverages. Citric acid creates a slightly tart, refreshing flavor and balances the sweetness in soft drinks, teas, juices, and other drinks. It is also used as a preservative.
I'm using lime juice instead of citric acid which gives a freshness to this drink. You get an added punch also to the squash. I'm not using any preservatives or additives for this fruit concentrate. Almost all citrus fruits contain citric acid and I depend on passion fruit and lime juice for this natural affect. Sugar is also a natural form of preservative, which I have used in pretty good amount. I'm sure you all will love this squash at the first sip of it. Added advantage is that, even after the mango season is over, you can relish mangoes flavor in the form of this squash.
Peel, slice and puree the mangoes and set aside.
Core the pulp from the passion fruit shell. Transfer the pulp to a blender and give 2-3 pulses, separating the seeds and skin. Strain finely and keep aside.
Add the specified amount of sugar to a heavy bottomed pan. Pour the water and combine. Let it bring to a boil. Simmer till you get one string consistency.
Add the mango puree and stir well. Allow this to boil again till reduced and thick. Add the lime juice in between.
Finally add the passion fruit and combine everything. Simmer for 3-5 minutes. Switch off the flame and allow it to cool down.
Sterilize the bottles and be sure to dry it thoroughly. Once the squash has cooled down, transfer it to containers and seal it tightly.
Dilute with water when you make this cordial adding ice cubes.

A gripping BBC Radio 4 full-cast dramatisation based on the second novel in C. J. Sansom's best-selling Tudor crime series. Summer, 1540. It has been three years since the terrible events at Scarnsea monastery, and lawyer-detective Matthew Shardlake is living a quiet life in London - until a summons from Cromwell sees him embarking on another dangerous secret assignment.
I have been a fan of the Shardlake novels, and this BBC adaptation has done the series proud.
This is a brilliant performance of a classic film from the 70's, if you're a horror fan then this is a must.
I preferred this to The Secret, the message is basically about love and gratitude. It has an inspiring soundtrack which keeps you motivated throughout the book. Definitely worth a listen.

Sakura trees cover pathways here like below. it's beautiful, isn't it?
A boy in the photo below was trying to catch falling flowers.
In the end of the Sakura season wind makes flowers fall. Then as you can see in the photo, the pathway is covered with flowers. It is also stunning.


Maybe the course director had a point when he said Engineering was full time degree. I even laughed complacently at the 40hours of study he recommended a week whilst thinking of the pedestrian effort I put in last year. 7 weeks later and I think he may have had a point…Just look how long it's taken to write this blog post.
Whilst Tim basks in the seemingly endless opportunities and time to live Orienteering in Europe – and we should congratulate him on such an amazing success he's had so far – I've decided on a more conventional approach, juggling a full time engineering degree, 10+ hours of training a week and still have time to sweep floors and serve burgers at NZ's classiest restaurant: Burger King, for 2-3 nights a week…Well that's the idea anyway.
In the past few years, consistency has been a struggle to come by but this year has been the start of something new. 1 severely sprained ankle, 3 tibial stress fractures, shin splints, patella tendinopathy and a bout of overtraining syndrome later and my body is finally seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. I have often found it takes so much experience of what you don't want before you really understand what it takes to achieve something great. This idea has inspired endless nights in the gym and mind numbing hours aqua jogging and spin cycling to get to the point where training isn't primarily based around not getting injured or just trying to get to the race in mediocre form but actually striving to improve on personal bests, improving technique and being competitive among the best. JWOC 2014 proved an epitome of this notion; mispunching on the sprint, being horrendously unfit for the long and technique wise, unprepared for the middle. Mostly what I took out of it was the cliché "bigger, better, faster, stronger" and that's precisely what how I'm planning to tackle it for this year.
In preparation for the terrain, a strong emphasis on strength has been brought into my training to run straight through the luscious marshes of Rauland. While my coach has helped develop plyometric and strength sessions to improve form, stability and power, the most suitable adaptions are often jumping right into terrain. I've mostly achieved this by running through knee deep water, sand and mangroves nearby on the east coast, but also heading out to the Waitaks or Woodhill to complete some monster sessions of over 2 hours in terrain. Not to forget the speed sessions that often follow the morning after the gym, a big shock to body as muscles settle being fatigued. Staying smart and injury free has topped the list on priorities (something of likes of Gene lives by this in training). Sleeping at least 8 hours or having ice baths and massages most days of the week are just basic precautions I'm willing to take to keep the niggles at bay.
Training technically can always be hard if not living in the appropriate the terrain, so emphasizing the basics to be prepared for anything is always the way to go. Analyzing maps and comparing legs to NZ terrain have become a staple to my understanding of navigation in Norway. Recently Auckland have held training days which definitely have helped with reconfirming techniques that have become autonomous over years. Here a link to a recent training getting that compass and contour work right: Getting the most out of the basics!!
All in all, a massive hype is building, whether it's mapping the JWOC sprint, smashing out mile repeats or night training in the rain, I'm really looking forward to meet up with the team in Norway and see what we can do against the rest of the world.

By Tom Bergin
DUBLIN (Reuters) - Leaders of the world's largest economies hailed a recent agreement to overhaul global corporate tax rules as key ensuring multinationals paid their fair share of tax.
The October deal established a global minimum corporate tax rate of 15% aimed at curtailing profit-shifting to lower-tax jurisdictions such as Ireland, where many large international firms have their European headquarters. "It will eliminate incentives to shift jobs and profits abroad," U.S. President Joe Biden in early October.
But some companies could still use Ireland to reduce their tax bills even after the agreement takes effect, according to tax specialists and a Reuters review of corporate filings.
That's because the new agreement won't stop companies benefiting from a strategy widely implemented in recent years that reduces taxes over a period of up to a decade or more. Ireland's relatively generous tax allowances permit multinationals with a presence in the country to sell intellectual property, such as patents and brands, from one subsidiary to another to generate deductions that can be used to shield future profits from tax.
Companies that have generated deductions to reduce their taxable income by more than $10 billion each in recent years via this tax-minimizing strategy include U.S. technology companies Adobe Inc and Oracle Corp, corporate filings show.
Business-software provider Oracle declined to comment and Adobe, creator of software such as Acrobat pdf-maker, didn't respond to requests for comment. Both companies have said they conform to relevant tax laws.
The agreement, brokered by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), is due to take effect in 2023. It was signed by more than 130 jurisdictions, including Ireland.
The Irish finance ministry said Ireland's tax treatment of intellectual property transactions is in line with other OECD countries.
In response to Reuters' questions, the OECD acknowledged that companies could continue to benefit from profit-shifting strategies already in place but that it expects companies to be unable to build up such tax shields in the future. The approach typically relies on a company also having a subsidiary in a country with a corporate income-tax rate of zero, such as Bermuda, that enables the company to conduct the sale tax free. By phasing out zero-tax jurisdictions for multinationals, the OECD expects the global minimum tax of 15% will make the strategy no longer attractive.
"We're trying to design rules for the future," said John Peterson, an OECD official.
Peterson added that the OECD can't be certain how each country's rules would interact with the global minimum tax. But he said the OECD is confident that abuses will be limited by a requirement that countries calculate taxable income in accordance with accounting rules.
Tax specialists say the deal's impact remains unclear because key details are yet to be agreed, including how to calculate the pot of profit that is to be taxed. Countries are currently debating carve-outs for certain tax breaks. In addition, jurisdictions could retain wide latitude in how they allow companies to calculate taxable income, the specialists said.
"Where there isn't accounting consistency, there is scope for gaming," said Nicholas Gardner, a tax partner at law firm Ashurst in London.
The new rules are expected to be finalized next year and require lawmaker approval in some jurisdictions. That includes the United States, where several top Republican politicians have voiced opposition to the deal.
Malta is another country that permits multinationals to minimize taxes via intra-company intellectual property sales. Malta's finance ministry did not respond to requests for comment on its intellectual property-related tax allowances.
TAX SHIELD
International pressure forced Ireland in recent years to phase out one of the world's best-known corporate-tax loopholes, known as the "double Irish."' In response, companies have increasingly accumulated tax deductions known as capital allowances via intra-group sales of intellectual property, according to tax advisors, economists and company filings.
Since 2015, multinationals have moved hundreds of billions of euros worth of intellectual property into Ireland, economists say. This has led to vast annual tax deductions for foreign companies related to so-called intangible assets – more than 45 billion euros in 2019 up from under 2.7 billion euros in 2014, according to data from Ireland's tax authority. The data doesn't break down what portion of those deductions were related to intellectual-property transactions within a corporation.
"Virtually every multinational has moved intellectual property," said Christopher Sibley, a senior statistician at Ireland's Central Statistics Office.
The profits being shielded from tax by U.S.-based companies typically come from sales to Europe, Asia and Africa, according to tax specialists and corporate filings. The U.S. Treasury loses out because the products and services sold are based on research conducted and investment made in the United States, academics say.
The U.S. Treasury declined to comment on whether U.S. companies will continue to take advantage of pre-existing tax strategies or benefit from future ones.
Adobe books most of its sales to non-U.S. clients through an Irish subsidiary based in a four-storey block in an office park outside Dublin, corporate filings show.
In 2020, Adobe Systems Software Ireland Ltd purchased intellectual property from another subsidiary that was both an Irish-registered company and a resident in Bermuda for tax purposes. The set-up meant no tax was due on the $11 billion profit from the sale. Meanwhile, Irish-tax resident Adobe Systems Software Ireland registered an $11 billion expense that could be used to offset taxes on profits over a period of about eight years because it is an asset that depreciates over time, according to the subsidiaries' accounts.
Adobe paid $197 million of tax on $3.1 billion of reported profit in Ireland in 2020 and sales of $5.6 billion, according to accounts for its main Irish unit. This equates to an effective tax rate of about half of Ireland's current statutory 12.5% corporate income tax rate, thanks to the impact of the capital allowances.
Other U.S. companies that have amassed multi-billion-dollar tax deductions from intellectual property sales to affiliates over the last three years include semiconductor maker Analog Devices Inc, medical devices maker Stryker Corp and software group Cadence Design Systems Inc, publicly available accounts for their Irish subsidiaries show.
Analog Devices and Stryker said they adhere to tax rules and regulations but declined to answer questions on their specific tax arrangements. Cadence declined to comment.

On a warm spring day in Ukraine 26 years ago, three men smiled for cameras as they planted symbolic sunflower seedlings in freshly tilled earth where Soviet nuclear missiles had once stood ready. Today Ukraine is ground zero for worry that Russia will ignite a conflict that could engulf the region. On that early-June day in 1996, the American secretary of defense, William J. Perry, joined his Russian and Ukrainian counterparts in ceremonies marking the completion of Ukraine's nuclear disarmament.
The actor's spokesman confirmed that he was driving the SUV involved in the crash.

22 families have already received grants funded by the European Union in frame of "Jerm Ojakh" program. This statistic was presented by Hayk Voskanyan, the CEO of the National Mortgage Company in the press conference that covered the annual results of the Social and energy efficiency housing financing program. During the press conference Hayk Voskanyn presented the main features and advantages of the program, statistical data on the loans and grants as well as trends of the program. ""Jerm ojakh"program has already provided 295 loans with value of 522 million AMD. In addition, 22 families have already received a grant of 10% of their loan amount which reduces their monthly payments",- said Hayk Voskanyan adding that the program also indirectly supports local producers and resellers of energy efficient materials and equipments. Ara Nazinyan, the director of ASBA foundation presented the technical component of the program and the social impact of the "Jerm Ojakh" that allows Armenian families to reduce energy spending, create comfortable living conditions and contributes to the reproduction of energy-efficient housing stock. "This financing program is unique in terms of its social and environmental impact. The beneficiaries of the program who mostly live in the regions get both a short term financial benefit and long-term profit in the coming years by reducing costs of energy consumption",- said Ara Nazinayn and noted that this program is beneficial for the society as well because it contributes to the conservation of nature, a substantial reduction of carbon dioxide and other harmful consequences. "Jerm Ojakh" program offers affordable dram denominated loans for energy efficient renovations with 11-14% annual rate, 5-10 years repayment term and up to two years grace period. Upon fulfillment of specific criteria for energy efficiency, every beneficiary family has the opportunity to receive a bonus of 5 or 10 percent of the loan amount sponsored by the EU Neighborhood Investment Facility. The grant is transferred to the borrowers' credit accounts, reducing the outstanding loan balance. Loans are provided to families by 15 partner financial institutions which are leading banks and credit organizations of Armenia's financial market. "Jerm Ojakh" program is mainly developed for regions and have been introduced in eight marzes within Armenia. As a result, about 54% of loans with value of 277 million AMD have been provided to families in regions. "Jerm Ojakh" program is implemented by the National Mortgage Company with the financial support of Agence Française de Dévelopement (AFD). The technical assistance of the program is provided by a Consortium of Kommunalkredit Public Consulting GmbH (KPC), with participation of MicroEnergy International GmbH (MEI) and the National Social Housing Association of Armenia (ASBA) foundation and Funded by EU-NIF.

The recipes featured on today's column are by Halimo, a former Somali restaurateur in the Dadaab refugee camp in Kenya. The sweet Somali flatbread, malawah, and spiced milk tea were staples for Halimo, her family and many other residents in the camp and are cherished foods they have brought with them to the United States. The recipes are a preview of what will appear in the narrative cookbook project, Between Meals, by the Bay Area organization, Refugee Transitions, whose mission is to assist refugee and immigrant families in becoming self-sufficient in the United States. Created by food stylist Dani Fisher, and writer and educator, Lauren Markham, Between Meals will share the expertise and stories of newly-arrived refugee women, from Burma to Liberia to Afghanistan. The women's traditional recipes have been documented with the help of their Refugee Transitions tutors. Between Meals also tells the stories of students' exile from their home countries, their journeys to the United States, and their efforts–literally and metaphorically–to nourish their families in their new California homes. Check back on the Refugee Transitions site for more information about the kickstarter campaign Dani and Lauren will be launching in the next few days for the realization of the book.
About Halimo: Dadaab, the largest refugee camp in the world and home to over two hundred thousand Somali refugees like Halimo, is where Halimo lived for 21 years before resettling to Oakland in 2011 with her three daughters, Fatuma, age 16, Suado, age 14, and Hamso, age 8. As a single mother in Dadaab, Halimo had to support her family, so she opened a small restaurant: "Halimo's." The most common images of refugee camps are portraits of expansive squalor and desperation—but people had been living in Halimo's section of Dadaab for decades and, despite severe hardship, had set roots there. Like many long-term refugee camps, Dadaab was home to vibrant and surprising town centers, with everything from basic internet cafes to bars to sundry shops to restaurants like "Halimo's". Each day from 7:00 a.m to 6:00 p.m. she cooked and served camp residents who had a source of income from their own small businesses. In this traditional Muslim community, women and men ate in different parts of the restaurant, separated by a thin, tattered curtain.
Though Halimo fed over a hundred people each day, most Dadaab residents cooked their own food with rations provided by the United Nations World Food Program (WFP). These rations came twice each month and included flour, salt, oil, lentils and maize (corn) flower. Hence malawah's popularity—all Halimo needed to procure to make this subtly sweet pancake was a few pinches of sugar, eggs and some milk. Many Dadaab refugees made a less rich and tasty version of this dish each day with their WFP rations.
To make malawah, Halimo uses no measuring devices—she knows just how much flour to scoop into her two cupped hands. To crack an egg she knocks the tip then removes small flakes of shell, patiently and bit by bit, until the hole is large enough to drop out the yoke. Dani and Lauren translated it into a recipe you can try in your kitchen.
Whisk together until totally smooth. Mixture should be thin, like crepe batter. Add water if too thick. Heat pan for 10 minutes, then fry each Malawah individually in a flat bottom pan. Spoon into center and use back of spoon to spread batter out. Flip after bottom is browned. Cook over med-low heat. Eat for breakfast with spiced black tea.
"We ate malawah every morning in Dadaab," says Halimo as she stirs flour and sugar in her sun-lit East Oakland kitchen. "I don't like food here a lot, but my sister Hamso likes the cake," says Fatuma. "She likes the vanilla kind only, not chocolate." But nothing compares to Malawah. Though they can't get it anywhere in Oakland except their mother's kitchen, the three girls can agree that Malawah is their favorite food of all.
Use mortar and pestle to crush cardamom and ginger into a thick paste. Combine ingredients in pot with milk, bring boil and cook over high heat until tea begins to boil, turn down and simmer for 5 to 10 minutes. Pour tea over a strainer to serve.
"Before we used milk from the goat," she says. "But here we use cow milk. My mom likes goat milk better," explains her daughter, Fatuma. "But I like cow's milk." Eight year old Hamso likes cow's milk, too, they explain—in just a few years, she now prefers the ingredients available in the U.S., and loves perusing the aisles at the nearby Lucky's.
Lovely post! I am going to make this for breakfast for my daughters tomorrow.
what a wonderful project for this cookbook. the tea looks somewhat similar to the sweet tea i was served both mid-morning and late afternoon when i did volunteer work in nepal. that flatbread looks delicious.
Thank you for this post. It is a great addition to my daily dose of design, art and food at Design Sponge. More of this please.
Nice to see some makers of color on this blog. More, please!
Such a fascinating story. Who knew there were restaurants in refugee camps? Great post.
Curious to know of other peoples results. This recipe really strikes me like a chai tea, in which I've always used powdered ginger. And so, that's what I'm thinking would work here.
Awesome story of these women and tasty recipes!
This is so great! What a fantastic project. Food is such an important tether to home, no matter where you go, and hanging on to culinary traditions has to be so essential for displaced people. Bonus, these recipes looks absolutely delicious.
I never considered what milk to use for my cup of tea, but this post makes me realize there is more you can experiment with tea.
I had never considered how long anyone was in a refugee camp. I would have said 2 years or so would be the max, but 21 years? I can't even imagine. Thank you for sharing this story, I like to hear their creative solutions to unbelievably difficult times. Finding a way to have something that feels like a treat in that situation is just so inspiring. I am glad to see that the family has a permanent home now.
