How could they stigmatize all of them? Therefore everything becomes a little easier and we start to share everything... We also started to invite and visit each other in a community. You know, it is six years since I started taking antiretroviral drugs...Yet whatever problems I face, the worst time has passedWhen I was evicted from the family home by my mother, my father rented a small room for me. But my mother and brothers believed that having HIV was my own fault – and that I deserved to be punished...I also considered myself unworthy and without hope... But I have a child and eventually I convinced myself to live for my child’s sake. <br />My mother knew nothing [about HIV]. She didn’t understand anything. Do you know why? She didn’t have [the chance] to go out of the house and communicate with society. However, my father does interact with the community. I know his friends are mature and dignified africa america. So he has a better understanding than her.My father came call me on a sadfull day sitting on my couch about a friend of his from africa who introduce him to Dr Itua herbal cure in africa in which he advise we should purchase his herbal medicine to cure my hiv so we did and Dr Itua prescribed I should drink the herbal medicine for two weeks to cure although we were so curious about the whole thing ,I finished the herbal medicine like he advised then he talked to me to visit my nearest clinic for check up I did and now I'm totally cured from Hiv my father was my rock and I and my family are now happy together also Dr Itua has be helpful in my community ever since he cure my Hiv so why I'm leaving my story on here today is to reach out someone out here to hope on God and never give up no matter the situation you that you are facing especially through this pandemic seasons which has really taught us all on how we should be helpful to each other and cherish one another.Dr Itua cures the following diseases.....

Who...I made these yesterday and they are delicious! Whole-wheat cardamom Middle Eastern cookies!? They're just what I was looking for! I didn't have any milk so I had a few other options: heavy cream, soy milk, rice milk, almond milk, and evaporated milk. I chose soy milk. (I did have to to add a little cream and water, just a bit, at the final stage of the recipe because the dough wasn't sticking together.) I'm not sure how much the soy milk changed the taste of these cookies, but I think they are great and I can't wait to try them with actual milk :)Carlynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5262628558438346351.post-51456574505272163592008-11-22T17:34:00.000-05:002008-11-22T17:34:00.000-05:00I was wondering if anyone had eliminated the bakin...I was wondering if anyone had eliminated the baking powder from this recipe (successfully).

I would not use mahlep in these cookies. I don't think the result would taste bad, but one doesn't usually combine mahlep and cardamom as each are rather distinctive spices. Besides, this cookie already has enough going on with the cardamom. If you do want to add another spice to the kleeja, some people add saffron.<BR/><BR/>As for uses for mahlep, I can think of zillions, but most of them involve varieties of breads. Just this morning I made Qurban, a Lebanese Christian bread, very simple yeasted rounds flavored with orange blossom water and mahlep. <BR/>Use it in ma'moul cookies, arras-a Syrian sweet breakfast bread, or kaak. I'm sure mahlep would be a nice addition to any brioche or shortbread recipe. The seeds are also used in string cheese.<BR/>I also saw this <A HREF="www.yogurtland.com/2006/04/02/mahlep-cake/" REL="nofollow">Mahlep Cake</A>.<BR/>I hope that gives you some ideas, let me know if you need more specifics.Mercedeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00097330009175643958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5262628558438346351.post-32641388509824096332007-11-18T12:16:00.000-05:002007-11-18T12:16:00.000-05:00Yes!
