It's funny this thing about the cinnamon rolls.
I used to eat them sometime between lunch and dinner as a kind of a snack. But then I switched to eating them for breakfast since I didn't have anything else I wanted to eat in the house for breakfast, and it's too long until lunch to go without eating anything.
This is fine except that by the time I go to bed, I'm eagerly awaiting the next morning, just like a kid on Christmas eve, so that I can get to my cinnamon roll! Quite silly.
Well, while eating my cinnamon roll this morning, which while usually eaten in the dining room, was being ingested on my bed today, hubby wanted to know what the noise was outside, and I said it was the wind, as it's been a bit overcast with some slight wind, but then all of a sudden the sound became very clearly NOT wind and I said, "It's rain, WOOHOO!!" and I rushed up and we both went out onto the balcony to have a look.
It wasn't much to speak of, maybe less than a minute of rain, but oh boy was I excited! It's the first rain since I've been here and I've been a bit jealous of the rain that I keep hearing about in the States.
Well, just a short while later, we heard the sound again and so again we went to the balcony, but it lasted for a good 2 minutes or maybe 3 this time. lol
Hubby insisted it wasn't rain, more like some spit. LOL
Well, yeah, it wasn't a heavy rain and it didn't do much for the air but it sure left me excited.
:::
In other non cinnamon roll or weather related news, I seem to have come down with some kind of cold again. Not sure what from and I'd rather not be sick less than a month from when I got better from the last cold, but thems the breaks I guess. In better news, my son seems to be over the flu, so happy for that!
:::
Still having some issues with my camera and the color. I took some pictures in black and white the other day just to see how they would look. It really gives a whole different feel to things, and I might try taking some more photos in black and white. I think it conveys a little more, in some respects, the feeling of this city.

Hoping for news today about the kitchen sink cabinet!

Huh?
Well, it's been a couple of days since I posted so I thought I should post, though there really isn't all that much to post about.
Hubby went and had a look at the possible choices for the kitchen sink counter top.
We have a choice for the cupboard of having either a plain white finish or some kind of wood grain finish with several stain options.
I'm not sure about what I want. The kitchen is almost all white, with very faint accents of pink and blue in the tiles. And the stove/oven is white. And the fridge is a very light gray. So it would make sense that maybe we should go with a plain white.
But, the other kitchen cupboards that I posted a picture of are a pretty dark color, and despite being told we wouldn't have them for long, I'm not sure how long that means. I don't want to get a color of wood that doesn't match what we already have since we might have it for quite some time, but I also don't like that dark of a color in the kitchen since everything else is so light colored.
Hmmm....
Also not sure about the choices for the sink top. The granite choices are mostly a dark color - green, gray (?) and a light kind of pink. But really there is enough pink/salmon in the rest of the apartment that I don't really want a ton more of it in the kitchen. I think there was another choice except it wasn't granite, it was something else, and if I'm not mistaken the color was beigey. I guess I'll have to see them to be able to decide.
Here is a picture of monkey from when we spent the night at the new apartment. He was getting in some Facebook time while I straightened out some luggage.
We may go for a walk around the neighborhood tonight so I can get out of the house. I get pretty stir crazy at times, particularly after I've been out and then don't go out for a bit.
Also, what makes cinnamon rolls so good? It can't be just the cinnamon. Or the icing. Or the flaky tender crust. Is it the combination? Is it some special cinnamon roll magic that I'm unaware of?
All I know is I simply can't get enough of them!

Oh the mopping!
Well, we spent our first night at our apartment on Tuesday night.
Really not much in the apartment except the bed and a table we brought with us.
We kept the a/c going in the bedroom all night, set at 25 celcius (which is about 77 degrees) and it cycled off and on about every 5 minutes once it got up to temp. The noise doesn't seem to bother me which is a good thing. Not exactly white noise but not bad.
We actually got to sleep pretty late, after staying up to watch the movie African Queen. And we didn't even finish it at that. By 4:15 a.m., hubby was ready to call it quits for the night, so we turned things off and got to bed.
Only I knew that the morning call to prayer would be coming fairly soon, so I didn't want to fall asleep only to be awoken 10 or 20 minutes later by a blaring loudspeaker from across the street.
So, I played a handheld game and waited for the call to prayer.
When I heard it sound, I thought to myself, "wow, that's not so bad, not half as loud as I thought it would be. This will be no problem at all."
Of course... the call to prayer I heard was not the one that's across the street, it was at another mosque further away. lol
I realized that after the call started up across the street, as blaringly loud as I had suspected it would be at 4:35 a.m. with no daytime noise to mask the sound at all.
The thing is, the mosque is just one door down, across the street, and the loudspeaker is on the top of the building, which is a couple stories, and we're on the fourth floor, and our bedroom is on the same street that the mosque is on.
So... loud. For sure! lol
However, hubby managed to sleep right through it, and I imagine that if I'm sleeping it won't be a problem. I'm not positive but we'll see.
Not that we should be sleeping through it anyways.
So, next morning, after a seemingly restful sleep, hubby got up and went off to work, and wanted to have me mop the floors because the dust builds up amazingly fast in this place, worse than at my in-laws, which is saying something.
Hubby thinks the dust build up is from the roof across the street, which is right at the level of our apartment, and which is covered with large piles of loose stone and dirt type of stuff. So the wind just blows it all right into our place.
Of course, if we had regular sliding windows instead of shutters, this might not be an issue.
Anyways, the mop that we have at the apartment is a rag mop, and I do NOT like rag mops. They're impossible to keep clean and I just don't like the way they work at all. I'd much rather have a sponge mop.
But, I could only work with what I had, so I went to it.
Two complete moppings of the apartment later, and you could still see a layer of dust on the floor. I had to change the water a lot while mopping, which, yes, is a pain in the butt.
It might have helped if I could have swept first, but the two handheld brooms that were there weren't doing anything towards getting the dust up.
I'm hoping that a vacuum will help, in which case I can vacuum a couple times a week and only mop maybe once a week.
So, a lot of mopping going on. And sore arms this morning. lol
Also tried to run a couple of towels in the washing machine. I thought I had all the knobs figured out right, so I turned it on and it made an appropriate humming/on noise, which I thought meant that the heater was warming up to get the water hot.
I let it go while I started mopping, but kept noticing it as I changed the mop water, and grew increasingly suspicious that something wasn't right when it didn't get past making that humming noise.
I actually started to worry, and after about an hour I called hubby who said to just turn it off and we would work on it later.
Turns out, at least I think anyways, that I just needed to turn the water on from the wall so that it could get into the machine.
Well... honestly, that stuff is just on in the States as far as I know. You don't turn the water hose off, because.... well... why? lol
So, when we go back I will see if that was it.
The cupboard for the sink didn't turn out the way hubby wanted and so he's going to get one a little bigger and with a bigger stainless steel sink and marble top. Insha'Allah. Not sure when it will be done. Hubby is going to pick out the sink on Saturday, which to me means that the whole thing won't be done til maybe... Tuesday or Wednesday.
Not sure when we'll be spending the night there again. I thought it was supposed to be tonight but that's not happening. Not sure about tomorrow night. Perhaps.
I know I have a LOT more work to do there in terms of cleaning, and I'm eager for the challenge and the chance to be occupied and feeling useful.
All in all, steps in the right direction.
Also, after a few days of 100 degree weather, today was only about 82. Wow, what a nice change. Supposed to be the same tomorrow I think before getting a bit hot again. We'll get to Autumn eventually.

Bits and pieces
Well, hard to imagine, but we are making a significant move of items over to the new place tonight!
I don't have that much to bring over since most of it is there already, but hubby has quite a few things.
There are some items there that need addressing - the main one in my head at the moment is that the hot water is not working in the bathroom (and not hooked up yet in the kitchen) since the hose broke a couple of weeks ago. Hubby says he will get it fixed tomorrow.
The other item is that our stove is on the bottom floor somewhere, I think in the building owner's store, where he sells different sorts of appliances and things. And of course, we are on the 4th floor and the elevator is broken.
Which brings up another interesting point, being that the building owners here don't assume the responsibility for the cost of fixing things in the building. Which I find strange to say the least. If they own the building, they need to assume the cost for running it!
But, like so many other things, that is not the case here. At least from what I have heard in several places. I would really be surprised if it was otherwise.
So, the building owner is trying to collect money from the tenants to get the elevator fixed, but of course no one wants to pay.
I suggested to hubby that he should put a lock on it and that people who wanted to use it could pay for it's upkeep. He said that he had mentioned that to the building owner the other day, but I don't know what the owner thought about that.
In any case, the elevator is a stinky dirty thing, and I don't feel entirely safe in it anyways. And seeing as how I'm not out of the apartment that much to begin with, it doesn't affect me tremendously. It's only annoying if you have a bunch of stuff to carry up to the apartment.
Also, I found out that the entire first floor - two apartments - is rented out to a kind of daycare/preschool type of place. Which gave me the idea that if I was bored during the day maybe I could go down and play with the kids. lol
In other news, my son's step-mother is currently in the hospital being induced to have her baby boy. I guess she's close to 10 days or so overdue now and I know she is very eager and a bit anxious to have this done with! Prayers to her and the baby!
And, in another piece of family related news, my son has the flu! Oh woe is me!
His father took him to the doctor yesterday. They did a swab test of his nose and told him it was Influenza A, but apparently that covers both H1N1 and seasonal flu, and I don't think they were going to do any further testing.
He is out of school for the week (according to the doctor?) and has a note from the doctor for school. Hope the little guy (wait, he isn't so little anymore!!) is feeling better soon.
Hopefully things will really start moving now apartment wise.
Of course, updates to come as things progress!

Down with the brown!
Well, the chocolate chip cookies did get made.
Though it was a process (isn't everything here? lol) and I don't like the way they turned out at all.
Plus, they leave this weird gacky thing in my throat where it feels like I have to swallow all the time. Yuck. No more for me. The in-laws, who seem to like them, can have them all.
Now... about how they turned out.
Flat, just like the snickerdoodles, only flatter if possible. And tasting way too much like salt and brown sugar.
About the flatness - I am going to test the baking soda tonight and see if that is the cause or not. Otherwise, I'm not sure, but maybe the oven temperature caused them to be flat? The oven is old as heck and I'm not used to baking with gas and my MIL doesn't seem to want me to use the oven thermometer that I have so I just have to bake at whatever temperature she thinks is right. Even though she's never made anything that I've been baking.
Also, she gave me a different sugar than normal. I'm used to using the regular kind for baking, the kind you put in coffee, etc., but this time she gave me what is more of a coarse crystal. I'm sure the taste of it is fine, and you can actually see the sugar in the baked cookie, which is kind of cute, but it also means that the sugar isn't as spread out in the cookie as it should be if it's in bigger lumps (I presume anyways).
And, I don't know, I just used the Toll House recipe like I always use, but these tasted like they had *way* too much salt in them. It calls for a teaspoon but I would only put in maybe 1/2 next time. Or maybe even a 1/4.
Aaaaaand, the brown sugar? Gross. The cookies totally flattened out and browned on the bottom, which I'm sure was due to the brown sugar. And I don't like the taste of it at all. I wonder how they would be with all white sugar instead of half white and half brown.
All in all, the production of making them, with my MIL "helping" and the way they baked in the oven - not fun and overall disappointing.
I don't think I'm going to bake anything else while we're here at the in-laws. I'm really frustrated to not have a kitchen, but it's even more frustrating to actually get to make something only to have everything always go kind of wrong.
The brownies I made here also didn't turn out well.
I don't know. The oven, the fact that the butter is not measured because you can't measure on the packages like we do in the States and there's no scale at the house. The pans used to bake in, which are very large oval cake pans as there are no rectangular or flat pans. Who knows.
Very much looking forward to moving and using an oven and kitchen that are mine.
Oh yeah, apparently there is no spatula here, so I had to pry the dried up browned bottom of the cookies up with a fork. Nice. There were many cookie Frankensteins.
On to more pleasant subjects, since I'm sure that's more than enough whining for now. lol
We took the mosquito net down that was over the bed so that we could wash it. I had known for some time that it needed to be washed because I accidentally brushed by it once wearing a white shirt and it left a big dust smudge on me. Eew.
So, we got the net down, took it into the shower and hosed it off. It was a bit of work but not really hard and except for one instance, where it fell off the wall hook and tried to break my head open, it went pretty well. Dried relatively quickly and was back over the bed within a matter of hours. All clean. It's amazing how quick the dust builds up here.
Also, I've read the operating manual for our new fridge. Woohoo! There's a piece of stimulating reading for you.
Actually, I did learn a few things about the fridge, like not to plug it back in right away if you move it, and some other things that I had no idea about.
The manual was in both Arabic and English, though whoever did the translation for the English missed out a bit in some places. There was only one place that was particularly bad and made absolutely no sense at all. Though there was a graphic there and I kind of knew what they were talking about anyways.
Here's what the nonsensical part said, "A barrier of door shelf of freezer to up direction."
:D
The fridge still needs a final wipe with some vinegar or something. Not sure when I'll be back at the apartment again. And I'd prefer to wait until we're done with having workmen in there and we're actually going to live there.
In other apartment news...
We are in the process of having a carpenter make a cabinet for underneath the kitchen sink.
He has taken the measurements and I guess he will start working on it, but I have no idea when it will be done. I am guessing it will be very simple so it shouldn't take too long.
I hope it looks okay. Hubby ordered it and I have no clue as to what it will actually look like.
On the one hand, it shouldn't matter, it's just a cupboard. On the other hand, I really would have liked to have been able to have a say in what it looked like. I'm going to be the one in the kitchen having to look at the darn thing and use it all the time.
Getting into an apartment really shouldn't be this difficult. Really. I'm sure there are marriages that break up over less than this. lol
And, as of today, we have been living with the in-laws for 5 months. FIVE months.
Sure it's nice to not be in an empty apartment all day or at night if hubby has meetings, and yet... well, you know...
Insha'Allah we will move before the end of the year.
