Your words are melodious, i think i prefer your write-up to the actual book!<br />I have never attempted to make jelebis at home, it seemed all too complicated and those perfect concentric circles they come in seemed like an artform that needed to be mastered before it could be attempted! Kudos to you for translating them over to your own kitchen =)Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13989340321224075830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7506255364365307975.post-14262285265807683972010-10-02T21:02:57.280-04:002010-10-02T21:02:57.280-04:00Nice writing.
