Dinner with Adnan
One evening, Adnan invited us to his home for a barbeque. As is the practice in large Kuwait homes, the architecture is designed for a combination of open, welcoming hospitality and complete privacy. The entrance opened into the garden, with extensive grass (that's a big deal in a place this hot and dry) and we were welcomed into the "duwanie", which is a room specifically designed for entertaining - exceedingly large and spacious.
In addition to the BBQ, a chef arrived to prepare a local desert speciality. A form of cheesecake with a crispy topping of sugar strands. I have had this before in resturaunts and been unimpressed but freshly prepared in an enormous pan as we watched, it was wonderful.
