More Recent Guests

As you know, I enjoy people. I love hearing their stories and getting a better idea on their backgrounds. I like to laugh and tell of some of my own experiences. At the same time, I am very introverted and get worn out by the end of each class. Often I come home exhausted to a confused wife. "How are you so tired? Nisrine did all the teaching and Adil washed all the dishes. What did you do? Walk some food up to the roof?" Those extroverts will never understand how much energy it takes for people like us to talk.

But what's really funny is that I love my job. I love meeting all these new people. I hope I always have a job that is directly related to people. Even though I have to muster all my energy before each and every class, I wouldn't change a thing.

At 5:00AM, I will try and remember some of our more recent clients.

** Riad Reviews - We have some friends living in a neighboring city that run a business called "Riad Reviews." This web-based profession allows them to gather reviews from guests at riads all over Morocco and post them on Riad's individual sites. If you are interested in coming this way and are looking for Riads Fes or maybe Riads in Marrakech take a look at their site to hear what other folks have had to say: RiadReviews.com

** First-time Bastilla makers - We had our first bastilla making party a couple of weeks ago with a repeat customer. His girlfriend was visiting and they came for a class. Nisrine was itching to make this dish, so we got after it. If you have never eaten bastilla in your life, add that to your "Bucket List."

** Pumpkin Patch in downtown L.A. - One lady just visited us who owns a Pumpkin Patch and Christmas Tree lot in the middle of Los Angeles. I was so fascinated with that idea that it was hard to focus on Moroccan culture and history. Obviously her visit came in February and not in November!

** Basketball Coaches - Pictured are 5 basketball coaches from North Carolina that were interested in taking a cooking class. They did an amazing job preparing Couscous with Chicken while not making Nisrine feel like the shortest person in the world.

There you have some of my more recent clients. Everyone has a story. And I love getting to know people and learning from them some of the things that they have learned in their lives.
