March 2016

And here we are beginning the third month of the new year. Winter is over. Amsheer, the month of gusty winds and temperamental weather is upon us.
Spring is arriving. Birds are building new nests, new leaves and new flowers are peeking timidly from the branches and raising their heads to the warm sun.

Zenab has come and gone. She is a wonderful partner and support, providing me with positive ideas to make our work smoother and more effective. Fun to be with and to work with. Dont stay away too long cousin!

And we are continuing to dry more and more strawberries, harankash and tomatoes. Our tomatoes which have become known as 'jewels' are a great success with O's pasta in Zamalek and with Store of Home Made.  Our oranges are in great demand at the Lemon Tree in Zamalek. Our dried pink grapefruit is finding a home on O's pasta's salad menu.  And all our dried fruits dipped in Ganache's chocolates are becoming a very popular and unusual gift.

March is a very busy month for us as we will be attending a number of special events. Two major ones are the Slow Downtown event at Eish & Malh, a restaurant on Adly street, downtown Cairo on Friday the 4th.  And the second on March 19th at the Zamalek Fish Garden just in time for Mother's Day.
We are also going to try a new market and will join the Nun Farmers Market at 6th of October City at the Guezira Plaza 2 Sundays a month. We will be at our regular bi-monthly Nun Farmers Market in Zamalek too.  So follow us for detailed information on where and when you can find us.  And remember that you can always find us of facebook or on our blog: cut-an-dried.blogspot.com
