To illustrate, today I had a piece of basbousa that was generously topped with almonds and pistachios, and that truly is the platonic ideal of a sweet treat to me.
I really don't have a sweet tooth and some of my favourite things to get as a trick-or-treater were like...hazelnuts 😅 walnuts too. I liked having to smash them open. You need to understand that I am very peasant-coded. My soul hasn't caught up to the advent of refined sugar.

In fact made a cake.
One of my co-workers gave me a steer on some Egyptian recipes recently and thusly I have made basbousa.
I think i did it wrong (possibly due to US cup measurements) because there should not still be that much syrup.
It's tasty tho and I can use the rest of the syrup in smthn

...for what to do for a couple of them. We're going to Egypt and to Palestine for two classes and I was thinking I could make basbousa and harissa. But they require semolina instead of regular flour. Do you think I could swap out cornmeal for semolina? Would it set up properly?

MENA themed birthday dinner: camel steak, Lebanese couscous and chickpea salad, basbousa cake (no candles, sorry), and jallab to drink. All recipes from the internet and I do not vouch for their authenticity.

Timbu: I have no desire for consumption anymore, as I lack both my stomach and intestines.
But if your curious, of what taste in pastries I would have, it would have to be Basbousa

The fresh mochi I had in Nara ruined me for other mochi, so delicate and warm and soft and good.
Basbousa is also a go to for me, just a sweet semolina cake, perfect for pairing w/ an ibrik coffee.
