Peace....

Hello all,
Since my husband arrived here from Morocco, I have been playing around with many traditional recipes that come from Morocco. I have tried to stay as traditional as possible when it comes to flavors, spices etc as possible. The internet, you tube, has been pretty helpful as well.
Last night, I wanted to make some bread "Khobz". For those of you who have travelled to Morocco you know what bread I am speaking about as it is sold every where on the streets for dinner with mostly tagines.
So I have searched every single recipe on the internet and watched all LOL videos on You tube. My problem is, with all these recipes the bread comes out to hard and crispy on the outside (which as we know it's suppose to be kinda soft and able to just pull apart kinda like pita bread).
I am only using All purpose flour for this recipe, could that be the issue??? What about other types of flour. My husband's mom said it has to be the flour I am using, as all the other ingredients are fine.
So if there is anyone out there with moroccan husbands who knows anything about this bread, I would greatly appreciate any advice on how to make this bread.

Hi, I know in previous posts earlier in the year that you said you were gonna wait for a few years to apply for AOS as you both agreed he could just stay home and take care of your daughter. Maybe that was a mistake.... If your saving for a BMW why not apply that money for AOS get him is EAD card so he can get out of the house and work a part time job and you spend some time with your daughter. Your little girl needs her mother and it's time he gets out of the house, gets a job, and apply this money to daycare program as she is probably not getting much attention at home while you are gone if you say he is just laying around on the couch doing nothing.
I agree with another poster that men can be pretty spoiled from Morocco as the mother and sister's tend to do all the work in the family. My husband didn't have to do too much there when it came to housework, as his mother always said "no just let me do it". My husband is no different than any other man from Morocco, they all come from a very clean home as the women in the family take pride in keeping a very very very clean home. Though my husband didn't have to do much there, he does plenty here when it comes to keeping the house in order while I work. Heck, I have probably only made the bed 10 times in 8 months as he beats me to it. He always washes the dinner dishes since he says you made dinner, now I will clean up afterwards as I should cause you work and I should have some kind of home responsibility.
Squeaky, I forget just why you didn't want to apply for AOS upon his arrival almost a year ago but I think it's time and 6 moths from now he can work with his EAD card. I mean the longer he doesn't have any responsibility for anything, it's gonna be even harder to just get him out of the house to work and keep a job if you are doing everything. Please don't be a mother to him and be a wife and give yourself a break and I know you have to be tired and exhausted not just physically but emotionally as well.
If I were you, I would not take the extra job, stay home, keep up the house and play with your daughter and enjoy life together. Being a wife means you are a partner in a marriage and it takes two not one. Being a mother means your sole responsibility in life is to raise that little girl with much love and to guide her in the right direction in life and provide for her with a stable family and atmosphere. Just look back on your own Mother's role as you were growing up, most likely she cleaned, cooked, worked, payed the bills and so forth, in general we do it all as we watched our very own mother's do the same, so it our instinct to do the same with our own families. Maybe your husband is missing you too Squeaky but can't find a way to tell you, as I am sure your a strong minded woman. I mean, gosh if he sits at home all day with the baby, I am sure mentally he is getting depressed and now you are taking on a third job and I just don't see him getting any better mentally.
Rethink your situation and find some family time and get back on track, as you didn't wait all these years just to get him here so he could sit at home while you work your life away. Take care and good luck as I know you will find a way to make this work just as you did to get your husband here.

Very true, during my fiances interview, the CO asked did you fiance ever send you money. His reply was only for the fee amount due today. The CO just type his answer into the computer during this note taking.

A total of 7 visits 3 weeks at a time in 1.5 years.

Jeanne,
Sorry I tried to post underneath your message but it would not let me. YOU CAN actually print off SKYPE phone logs and conversations. I sent it 2 years worth along with yahoo and other evidence.

Well I just really think it all depends on the CO, my husband has a brother that lives here for 3 years now, 2 cousins, and a sister. Age difference: I am 15 years older, still not an issue that day and was only pointed out once during the interview. Never reviewed hardly any chats or emails, or skype records, cell phone records all of this over 1.5 years of chatting. The only thing I had going for me was the 6 visits to Morocco and the personal phone interview with the CO, everything else to the CO seemed irrelevant, except for one picture of me and his mother that the looked at over and over. They did a through background check on my fiance, including his internet usage and questioned him a lot about this..... I think so many people do not realize just what these people at the Embassy are capable of doing when it comes background checks on each individual. Maybe just maybe, they are finding out more and more about these individuals who possibly had too many I love you's online and trying really hard to marry someone from the USA and they are just weeding them out now. I mean do we as the Petitioner's know everything in our loved one's past, of course not, and how can we judge them as we never knew them, but the Embassy could care less and there job is to protect us from fraud and they will do whatever they have to do to protect the Petitioner.
I hope you get your case turned around soon....

Hi,
When I met my fiance then in Morocco, I loved so much that he was such a family man and did so much for his mother and sister's. He helped around the house, ran errands for the family if they needed anything, heck I helped too when I was there. My husband is very helpful around the house. He washes dishes always after I cook, he keeps up the laundry for family, he takes out the trash every day, LOL he even waters my flowers when I forget. I have a puppy that he takes care of all day making sure he goes outside.... he even like to vacuum We have small disagreements about little things but nothing major so far and life has been blessed for us both. He has the patience of someone that is 100 years old LOL, nothing ever seems to bother him at all. He still prays all his prayers which I am so blessed that he America has not changed his way of thinking.

I am protesting...I want this issue pinned!
Petitions Returned to the United States
More and more this is how Morocco is handling visa petitions, and it does not matter the amount of proof of relationship you provide. We need a central place to review/share extremely important information to help ourselves and others going through this issue. Possibly even prevent this from happening to others in the future.
I will gladly create a legible, credible, and searchable compilation of all immigration guidelines surrounding petition return/revocation, research, etc. if VJ would commit to pinning this issue for us. Even if it is only in the ME/NA forum...PIN IT PLEASE?????

Well the connection is that I have had this relationship with Mohammed now for 19 months and my ex-husband just wants me to be happy and will do this co-sponsor if necessary. Me and my ex-husband were more like room mates for the last 10 years of our lives but we did the right thing and stayed together and raised our daughter to be who she is today. When skyping online, my ex says hello to Mohammed when he sees me online, and most likely they will be best buds too. Just because two people divorce, does it mean we have to hate each other?
