Qatayef feast

Yesterday's Haaretz featured a disturbing article on discrimination. http://www.haaretz.com/print-edition/opinion/israeli-courts-must-end-anti-arab-discrimination-1.376666

More protests planned for today and Saturday. The protesters think the Knesset (parliament) has "spit at them" instead of addressing the issue. http://www.haaretz.com/news/national/israelis-respond-to-new-housing-law-protests-and-more-protests-1.376765

One thing I like about Ramadan is qatayef. It's a pancake with walnuts. Absolutely fabulous! Firas our kitchen helper bought 6 for 18 shekels ... that's the normal price. But if I go and buy, it's 5 shekels for one.
