As I was reorganizing the Library I decided to add a section for "Cooking" and found I had posted only pound cake recipes. That raises the question ... what do I actually know how to cook? I came up with the following list of things that I can cook sufficiently well worth recording:

• B'learweh - Lebanese Baklava, a flaky pastry
  
• Tabbouleh - Lebanese parsley salad
  
• Kibbey Nayye - Lebanese steak tartare
  
• Lebanese Red Wine Vinegar Scrambled Eggs with Lavash
• French Toast
  
• Olive Oil and Garlic Marinated Buffalo New York Strips
• Kafta - Lebanese Meatballs
  
• Lahem Mishwa - Lebanese Shish Kebabs
• and of course, Pound Cake

There's a subtle theme there. There are a few other things that get made in our house that I make to other people's recipes - Hummus, Cleveland Burgers, "California Dreaming Style" Grilled Chicken Salad - and a few other things that we eat that my wife or friends typically prepare. I'll try to go through these recipes and post as many as I can.
