About the Blog - Fragments of a Life

This blog will contain things I have written; some of my best photos; and a selection of my favourite recipes. I am truly fortunate to have traveled to and worked in fascinating places, met remarkable people, and seen many of the wonders of planet earth. Friends have urged me to write about these experiences and to publish my photographs. Maybe, one day, these will come together into a book. For now, they will be presented as fragments of a life since I am not yet prepared to "retire" and write. As well, for many years, I have been promising to publish my "cookbook". As I cannot get my act together to edit that all at once, I will start publishing those recipes one by one.

Lebne’ (Middle Eastern)


by Susan Howard-Azzeh of Human Rights Advocate in St. Catherines, Ontario, Canada.

2 cups plain yoghurt
  • Set a colander or sieve in a bowl.
  • Line colander with cheese cloth.
  • Pour the yoghurt into the centre of the cheese cloth. 
  • Cover and put in fridge or a cool place overnight.
The water will separate from the yoghurt and leave a very thick creamy yoghurt. The lebne’ is excellent drizzled, together with a little olive oil, on sliced cucumbers and tomatoes. It can be eaten with grapes or with plain pita bread, or mixed with herbs to make a healthy dip.
