9th March 2009 - 12 Rabii al-Awal 1430
Today is a bank holiday in Tunisia
It is the Prophet Muhammad's birthday
When you hear talk of "Mouled," it can only mean one thing!
Traditional Tunisian Granny is sending round.............
"ZGOUGOU!"
The dish, Assida, which was said to have been give to the Prophet Muhammad's mother Amina, after she gave birth, can be made two ways,
based on semolina, olive oil and honey,
or with the more popular zgougou, which is made from pine nuts.
Loved all over Tunisia, it has an "acquired perfume-like taste," something not unlike the Palma Violet sweets that we all used to love or hate, as children!
As each year passes, I grow to like it just a little bit more......"Honest!"

Le Salon du Meuble de Tunis
13-22 February 2009
Tunisia hosts many exhibitions every year!
One of the most popular, is without doubt, the furniture extravaganza held at Kram just outside Tunis!
A miserable, rainy Wednesday morning was an excellent time to view the new 2009 lines from many furniture stores across Tunisia!

WINTER IN NABEUL 2008-2009
Bustling Souk Of Nabeul - Friday Market 2nd January 2009
Festival des Poupées de Sucre - Festival of the Sugar dolls 2008 in Nabeul
If you haven't eaten enough sweets at Christmas don't miss 26th to 29th December, the stalls are already up throughout Nabeul, offering sweets, nuts and the famous dolls made entirely of sugar! Don't forget also, the traditional "sweet couscous," served with lamb, eggs and even more sweets!
The closure of the Festival of Sugar Dolls in Nabeul, was marked today, 29th December 2008, with celebrations and activities such as "painting your own doll," for the children, taking place in a beautiful old Arab House in the centre of Nabeul. Entertainment was provided from a children's band and team of majorettes and cheerleaders.
A prize of 1000 Tunisian Dinars was awarded for the maker of the best sugar doll!
The closure of the festival of sugar dolls coincided with the beginning of the Islamic New Year, 1430 AH, (29th December 2008.)
The Islamic year begins on the first day of Muharram and is counted from the year of the Hijra, the year in which the Prophet Muhammad emigrated from Mecca to Medina.
A traditional delight from Nabeul! The Islamic New Year is seen in with Kadide or Couscous Ras el Am (couscous with salted lamb, decorated with eggs, dates, nuts, sugar lumps and many different sweets!)
