I just love the hospitality that is such an important part of the Arab culture. We serve tea or Arabic coffee several times each day. Anytime someone stops in, they are offered coffee or tea. The food is absolutely delicious! Mealtimes are such fun. Usually, there are many dishes that are put in the middle of the table and shared. Meals are not at all rushed. It is so much nicer than driving thru a fast food place and eating on the run! In the evenings when it is cooler, people sit outside and drink coffee and talk. It makes me rethink my ideas on hospitality, and how I am always in such a rush to things at home.
