Din din Saudi style

 "We had to learn how to bend, without the world caving in. I had to learn what I got, and what I'm not, and who I am."
-Jason Mraz

We had the best dinner at Badr's parents' house tonight! It was very traditional, and I loved it!
First of all, they called it dinner...and it was at 9 pm and tomorrow everyone has work and school! Hard getting adjusted to the time and everything here.

The menu was as follows:
Gigantic flat bread, warm and fresh out of the oven
Bean dip, kinda like what you'd eat in a Mexican restaurant, like refried beans!
This bread, cheese, green stuff quesadilla type food (that is seriously my BEST description)
"Sour cheese", bright white and cut into little squares
Sour cream for dipping
And, COKE, obviously

You get the bread and rip it and dip it in the beans. Very simple, very delicious. We were sitting on the floor and watching "Arabs Got Talent." It was a jewel of an evening.
Forgot to mention that before dinner, Nada, Maryam, Nouf and I were playing "B.S." Guess who taught them that game?? We had tons of fun!
