The best way to cool down in 40 degree heat is by enjoying a large bowl of... The best way to cool down in 40 degree heat is by enjoying a large bowl of #fattoush salad with family and friends. You can use a fork or a spoon to eat fattoush #فتوش but I will always use my fingers. Somehow, to me, the salad tastes so much better that way. Maybe it’s the memories it brings back of my brothers and I as children sitting around using our fingers to eat straight out of a large bowl of fattoush Ouma had just prepared. Or maybe it’s the thought of the pure olive oil she would use from our very own olive trees and the sour sumac harvested from the trees in our back yard. Whatever it may be I do know that it’s the simple things we should try to hold onto and cherish for the rest of our lives. Hope 2019 is bringing you all lots of lovely surprises. 😍🌹
