That raises the question &#8230; 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:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>B&#8217;learweh &#8211; Lebanese Baklava, a flaky pastry<\/li>\n<li>Tabbouleh &#8211; Lebanese parsley salad<\/li>\n<li>Kibbey Nayye &#8211; Lebanese steak tartare<\/li>\n<li>Lebanese Red Wine Vinegar Scrambled Eggs with Lavash<\/li>\n<li>French Toast<\/li>\n<li>Olive Oil and Garlic Marinated Buffalo New York Strips<\/li>\n<li>Kafta &#8211; Lebanese Meatballs<\/li>\n<li>Lahem Mishwa &#8211; Lebanese Shish Kebabs<\/li>\n<li>and of course, Pound Cake<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>There&#8217;s a subtle theme there.  There are a few other things that get made in our house that I make to other people&#8217;s recipes &#8211; Hummus, Cleveland Burgers, &#8220;California Dreaming Style&#8221; Grilled Chicken Salad &#8211; and a few other things that we eat that my wife or friends typically prepare.
