Flint

I had been talking to my grandmother the other evening. It was nice to hear Assyrian being spoken. I miss hearing it. All I seem to find online is Iraqi/Western dialects and it's not the same. Compared to the Eastern dialect is sounds like you are coughing up phlegm.

We discussed how Flint was and how Flint is. My Grandfather worked for Buick and every week he brought his pay check home and gave it to my Grandmother. Where she would take $12.50 and buy a $25 Bond. They were poor, no doubt about it. But she saved her money and she helped send both her sons to school.

I told her that economic meals were very interesting for me, so she started to tell me of a few Assyrian recipes. Recipes I knew and have made but let her tell me because I got to hear her voice and some recipes I didn't know.
I carefully repeated the Assyrian words to get them correctly and she would help me when I had problems, which was more often than not now. Then she would spell them in English and that would help.

It ended with her promising to send me recipes I needed. I had some already but she has adjusted some of them for less servings. Chadah was traditional made in huge batches with flour measured in pounds. So she is sending me one that uses cups, as in one or two. I will post them when I receive them and have successfully made them Gluten-free. She feels the rice flour will be fine, because honestly Chadah is filled with butter. It is not a healthy dessert and is meant to be eaten with tea in
tea glasses with sugar cubes.


Well I am going to look to buy more bonds today. I had bought a few and now I think I will go back to it.
