    Toasty brown, crunchy with a hint of black seeds on top, yet gooey, rich and warm underneath, this is the Susi from the Yemeni cuisine.

    We are lucky, I admit it. Raising my kids in a multi cultural, multi lingual environment is a great way to shape up their characters and hopefully, make them grow into fine men. Being exposed to a plethora of cultures and languages from around the globe, will make them very unique individuals in the near future. They will gladly accept others, be less discriminating, be open minded and hopefully, flexible and less judgmental.

    Realizing this fact, and driven by the urge of the best for my children, I've decided to enroll 2 of them - unfortunately there was no availability for my eldest- in a new immersion school. So far so good, I am so very pleased with the school and I'm planning to keep them in the Spanish classes for a couple of years then switch them to Mandarin then French then ... who knows :).

    I have a hypothesis regarding how ISIS is recruiting young people, I feel they recruit those who are lost, they feel " they do not belong", either rejected by their communities or by the people in their country of origin, in one word they have an identity problem. Being different from most of the people around you is hard and sometimes painful. So, what I am hoping by exposing my kids to all these different cultures, is for them to know that being different is ok. They are not the only ones who speak a different language, look different, have different holidays, different religion or have strange names. Being different is what makes you .... YOU.

    Though cultures are different, sometimes you can find common areas, and Susi is an example. This recipe reminds me so much of the French toast, I think of it as a savory twist to the French toast casserole but with flat bread instead. I like having Susi at breakfast or at lunch as it usually energizes and fills me for the coming 3-4 hours.

    Up until now, I've tried only a savory version but I will soon make a sweet version and let my creativity run wild. This recipe can be made using any flat bread you have in hand. I've used the yeast less bread that I've made before, but sure you can use any.

    I hope you'll have the chance to try this recipe, probably for a weekend breakfast? Enjoy!!

      I agree with you. Young people who feel they don't fit in, gravitate toward those who reach out and accept them. It's not rocket science. An aboriginal community in northern Australia had a huge problem with violence and antisocial behavior. The community (with government support) set up football teams and people get together and cheer on their team instead of beating each other up. The young men now fit in and their families do too.

      I've never heard of Susi before but I love this idea.

      I think it's important for kids to learn from a toung age that differences are a chance and not something to be afraid of. You are giving them the best for today and the future Amira. Well done on your positive attitude.
      Your recipe looks great and tasty. Yep, perfect for weekends when we have a bit more time to enjoy breakfast!
      Take care and stay blessed.

      This is a really great post and you're so right with everything you said. I hope your kids like the new school and classes inshAllah. I think keeping kids engaged is also very important. I love Yemeni food by the way and this looks amazing, can't wait to try the sweet version too.
