She had this salad there and really enjoyed it. I have to say it's one of the best salads I have ever had. I served it along side some grilled lamb chops... perfect! http://www.grouprecipes.com/106706/syrian-fattoush-salad.html Considering how many Islamic fundamentalist panties are in a wad over Western decadence, our world is sure to end in an explosion of medjool dates and vintage car parts.
