It tastes very creamy and is a bit rich for me. Soon I'll know a few words in Arabic and be able to check on the products! Thanks for visiting. I love reading your comments on Lynda's blog as well. You sure know the expat life!

I know Irish Aid had a big dairy programme there years ago and it is probably where the yogurt originated, I knew someone working there then. This was government bilateral aid, not NGO development aid which is always a bit dodgy with NGOs having to tread a fine line between diplomacy and advocacy and yet avoid being thrown out as happened a few times. The flash floods are so typical of Africa they probably don't raise much interest, yet I love the rains.You seem to have settled in well, good luck! <br />Catherine.Catherinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16116884676266268214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-617652323643666421.post-7847659760275255642009-08-28T13:43:06.573+02:002009-08-28T13:43:06.573+02:00Hi Gaelyn, life is definitely very different here ...Hi Gaelyn, life is definitely very different here in North Africa since my "cossetted" lifestyle in South Africa. I'm loving it here although every day has its challenges.<br /><br />Esther, you would know about rain. Apparently the rainy season is smaller here and almost over. Thanks for visiting. <br /><br />Hi Gattina;) I've come to Khartoum to be with my husband. I have already booked my flight back here at the end of October. We go out on a three-week break in the first week of October. Thanks for visiting.<br /><br />Hi Pat, yes, the breakfast is a healthy one and the scones were delicious. The heavy downpour of rain (not very usual or frequent, thank goodness) pours the water through the window panes (not very well sealed) and under the doors.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11666316882168582862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-617652323643666421.post-29355735042685065172009-08-27T20:35:49.854+02:002009-08-27T20:35:49.854+02:00Your breakfast looks healthy and delicious, as do ...Your breakfast looks healthy and delicious, as do the scones.<br /><br />Does your roof leak?
