Annaga
Waxaan nahay nin iyo xaaskiis wada shaqeeya… Labadeenaba waxaan ku dhalannay Soomaaliya quruxda badan.
Waxaan ku nool nahay Kanada, dalka aan hoyga ka dhiganay. Waxaan jecelnahay safarka, sawir qaadista iyo cuntada. Cuntada waan jecelnahay, laakiin uma noolin inaan wax cunno. Mana cunno si aan u noolaanno. Waxaan nahay labadaas dhexdooda.
Waxaan jecelnahay cunto karinta iyo martiqaadka. Waxaan kaloo jecelnahay wadaagista. Waxaan doonaynaa inaan idinla wadaagno jacaylka aan u qabno Soomaaliya iyo xusuusta aan ka haysanno koritaankeennii halkaas. Xusuusta waqtiyadii nabadda iyo xasilloonida.
Cuntada Soomaalidu waa fudud tahay. Ma leh soosas adag ama dhadhan xad dhaaf ah. Basbaas ma leh, dhadhan la’aanna ma aha. Boggan, waxaan isku dayi doonnaa inaan soo koobno dhammaan gobollada Soomaaliya, waxaana kaloo gaari doonnaa waddamada deriska ah. Haddii ay jirto wax aan ka barannay xiisaha aan u qabno cuntada, waa sida adduunku isugu xiran yahay, iyo bini’aadannimadeenna guud.
Maanta, Soomaaliya waa dhaawac. Waxaan rajaynaynaa Soomaaliya ay ku jiraan midnimo iyo kala duwanaansho, halkaas oo kala duwanaanshaha la dabbaaldego, qof walbana uu helo xuquuqdiisa oo buuxda iyadoon loo eegin jinsiyadda, caqiidada, iyo lab iyo dheddig, qofna uusan ka sarreyn sharciga.

Nabad,
Aniga Maarekin Somali. Unfortunately that is all that I can remember these days. My wife, Carole, and I lived in Merca and Mogadishu before you were born. We were part of the first group of Peace Corps Volunteers to live and work in Somalia from 1962-1964. We came to love Somalia and the Somali people. We get to drive from LA to San Diego occasionally to buy sambusi, eat semi-Somali food, and spend a few hours in a Somali tea shop talking to old men about what we remember of the good days and tell the younger men of what they have missed and unfortunately will never get to see. What is interesting is that the teashops look like Mogadishu and, most important, smell like Mogadishu. It is all good…charcoal smoke, steaming milk and tea, rich spices, crisp meat, lamb, the occasional goat, but unfortunately no camel, no camel milk. I am so very happy to find your web site and your recipe for Xawaash. I will be making a large batch this week. Do you also sell it?
We have a on line group called Friends of Somalia. It’s made up mostly of the couple hundred Peace Corps Volunteers who served in Somalia in the good days. Three of the RPCV’s just recently returned from acting as Election Poll Watchers in Somaliland.
Thank you Xawaash Restaurant. Your food is very delicious and the service is very nice.I would definitely recommend everyone to taste your meals.
Asscww,
