I’ve never heard the phrase hoeing out but I have heard redding up around here. My mother used to say she was giving the house “a good clean” and that suits the activity pretty well too. We seem to get inundated, esp with paper. And now that I’m selling on eBay, I’m piled in even deeper with all kinds of resale stuff. Good luck on keeping your place hoed out! It’s an ongoing challenge, isn’t it?

I’m not one to try different foods like that at all so I know I wouldn’t have even tasted it. I’m not sure what kind of American food you should take him to try. Let us know what you take him and if he liked it.

Butch struck up a conversation with our friendly Arabic store owner and he gave him several recipes. He told him about tahini in hummas and how to duplicate a salad we like at a local restaurant, fatoosh. We are also in the Metro Detroit area, PLENTY of good middle eastern food to be found. It is very fresh, always a plus for Butchy-Boy!

Welcome to the world of Middle Eastern Cuisine! I’m lucky to live in metro-Detroit and all the amazing middle eastern restaurants, shops and grocery selections. Next up: see if the shop owner has his mom’s or grandma’s falafel recipe. YUMMMM!!! Learn to make hummus yourself–Ziyad brand makes tahini paste-it’s just garbanzos, a little lemon juice, a little garlic and the tahini plus sumac on top for garnish. Enjoy!!!!
(metro-Detroit has the highest concentration of middle easterners in the USA, just fyi)

It doesn’t look good….but if you say so I guess I’d try just one.

I love trying new foods and love going into stores like that. However, unless they provide help like that store did, it is often hard to discern what you should buy and how to prepare it. Having a ‘translator’ is a real bonus!

I already love tabbouleh and hummus but I’m going to have to keep my eyes open for some makdous.

That’s great! So glad you’ve found a new source for great food. I love middle eastern food.
I was sure the Makdouss was pickled “mountain oysters”. It sure looks like it.

Andrew Zimmern would be proud of you. You have been watching too much “Bizarre Foods”. Come to think of it, you do look a lot alike. Are you related?
It’s nice to see that you are trying different things, go for the spicy pickles next.

I have never heard redding the house before, but I’ve certainly done it! I watched an episode of hoarders and whew, did that ever get me motivated! I dumped all sorts of stuff.
