Wikipedia says: Koshary tea (شاى كشرى, [ʃæːj ˈkoʃæɾi]), popular in Lower (Northern) Egypt, is prepared using the traditional method of steeping black tea in boiled water and letting it sit for a few minutes. It is almost always sweetened with cane sugar and is often flavored with fresh mint leaves. Adding milk is also common. Koshary tea is usually light in color and flavor, with less than a half teaspoonful of tea per cup considered to be near the high end.

I would love to try making Koshary Tea but looking it up to buy it has left me a dead ends. So I ask what type of black tea do you make Koshary tea with?

My friend gave me some of her tadpoles and I've been following everything I've found online. My problem is, I've lost one already (drowned). One of the other two has started coming out of the water and almost drowned (lowered the water to 2", have a large piece of drift wood and 3 pieces of moss in there now). My question is:

They still have their tails and I have read that they wont need to eat until its gone, but I have also read they do. Which one is it? The one wont go back into the water and I have a reptile store with 1 week old crickets that I can buy (as well as a person off Kijiji who has a flightless fruit fly culture I can pick up this weekend). So help! I don't want to lose these two.

Recently a friend of mine lost her dad. As a Egyptian Pagan follower, I want to say a prayer/chant/something for him but I am having a hard time with it.

I am in need of ideas. I have no idea what stones to use or incense. I know I can do it with out it but I would like to add it into this.

Any help would be great thank you.

PS. Please, bigots don't bother answering. I am not looking to convert to any other religion.

I don't need nutritional information. I want to know whats different about them? I see them in stores and in local farmer ads but no one says whats different. They look, smell and feel the same to me.

Google is not being helpful at all and I would love to know what the difference is.

I feed both to my three male guinea pigs.

I was busy sewing today and all of a sudden my singer started to drop stitches

Okay here is what I have done:

Changed to a new needle (2 times)

Rethread bobbin

Rethread different bobbin

Used different thread and re thread everything.

Cleaned out Bobbin Area

The needle is the same one I have been using for months (but I have changed them out for new ones when they got blunt or dull). I bought my singer on the 15th of May so its not old.

What is going on?? It wont do any other stitches like the Z ones or anything. I only usually use a straight stitch, but I tested the others and nothing.

Oh and its set at Automatic for the tension.

If there is no Copyright on a site the person can not tell you to take your site down for something similar on your site right? A friend of mine sells stuff at a farmers market everything was fine until she started a site. She got an email asking for it to be taken down and that she copied it. When she went to that persons site there is no copy right anywhere. Do she still have to legally? Or should she ignore them?

I'm thinking of adding to our furry family and so I'm just doing some searching. PetSmart is the only pet store around that sells ferret food, and the stuff they sell seems like Junk from what I read.

So I looked through the cat food section and this seems like a really good one to feed a ferret. The Information is on the bottom:

What do you think? Would it be good or not so much?

Also if you know of some good ferret forums I can lurk through to get some more information PLEASE post it in your answer.

My son will be 3 months on the 25. Today he had a poop and it wasn't the normal watery yellow it normally is. It was yellow but was mushy and not watery. Is this normal for almost 3 months or is there something wrong with my milk, like he isn't getting enough? Hes having MANY wet diapers and nurses 6 to 10 times a day for 20 to 40 mins each time. Any thoughts?

I bought some Munstead lavender this spring, it was 4 to 6 inches tall. its about 6 to 10 inches tall. Lots of green leaves. I have it in a pot on my counter getting west sunlight through a open window. I water when the soil gets dry. I live in Edmonton, AB Canada so its not very humid here as I read that can cause problems. So any suggestions as to why this little cutie of a plant wont flower?

Looking for a blog about Olympus fe 4030 with tips, tricks and how to's. I can't seem to find any. Does anyone know of any?

I'm very much interested in Buddhism, but as a Pagan I need to know what the view of ghosts and dream premonitions are in the Buddhist faith are. Any thoughts?

I looked it up and they say symptoms are dry flaky skin and yellow or brown bumps. There is no flaky skin and the bumps aren't any color they are just tiny bumps. could this still be cradle cap? And how do you treat it if it is cradle cap?

I am 36 and half weeks pregnant and thanks to some family members I have a runny nose and sore throat. Is there anything I can do for it?

This is my third child, just so everyone knows I'm not a new mom.

About 10 minutes ago the baby was moving around and suddenly it felt as if its hand punched through my cervix. I don't believe I am dilated but I do have a soft cervix, as my doctor put it. Is that at all possible? It was very sharp and still hurts a little, nearly knocked me on my bottom when it happened.

My son, age 2 1/2 years old, has had a persistent yeast diaper rash for 2 weeks. The Doctors gave me Ketoderm mix with Zincofax (1:1). It was working great, about 4 days ago it was almost gone. Now its back again, not as bad. He only wears a diaper while hes sleeping, we are currently potty training. Its driving me nuts! Every morning its a fight to change his poop diaper and same with after naps. He only poops during these times. Other then at naps he wears underwear. Due to my allergies we don't use very strong soaps to clean our cloths, same with fabric softeners. Is there anything I can do? Another cream that can be bought over the counter? Anything I can feed him that might help?

On Oct. 31 2009 I had surgery to remove my appendix (laparoscope I believe). Now while this is a normal thing, I am also pregnant. During the surgery I was about 3 weeks along. Both the baby and myself had an uneventful surgery. Now weeks later I am having horrible spasming like pain where my appendix was. I see my Doctor on the 5th, but I am wondering if this is normal or should I be concerned. There is no bleeding, my scars are healing nice, I have normal pee and bms. Can anyone guess as to whats going on?

I personally don't like the forum part. Its very harsh and one of the mods harrassed me badly. But the site is very good for its information on C&C cages. What do you think of it?

Fill in the blanks:

Oh, it's just a ___.

Now, take the last letter of each word you filled in and unscramble them to come up with a word that may or may not have any significance.

Thanks I'm so puzzled.

1. There are 13 letters in the puzzle.

2. Letters 1 and 5 are the same consonant.

3. Letters 2, 7 and 11 are the same vowel.

4. Letters 6 and 12 are the same consonant.

5. Letters 4 and 9 are the same vowel.

6. In the alphabet, letter 13 comes immediately before letter 4.

7. In the alphabet, letter 10 comes 3 letters after letter 8.

8. There is one space, somewhere in the puzzle, which does not count as a letter for the purposes of this puzzle. (So, ignore the space when counting the letter positions.) There is no other punctuation.

What is the word or phrase?

I just started a 2 days ago and I found out that I am pregnant. I'm only a 2 weeks if that. Could they fire me if I tell them? how long should I wait before saying anything?
