But I live in America now. I stumbled upon your blog through a random google search of "tungsten" "alloy" and "Sahara" - because of a technical paper I must write on production of light bulb filaments and X-ray tubes in North Africa. I was amused, but happy, to find your lively piece. I was born in “El Kantara” in Biskra, Algeria. But I live in America now.

I understand nothing, but yet I am intrigued. I am from a Saharan city, but I know nothing of these fortresses of museum wax. What I do know is that your language is both confusing and delicious. If this meditation were a recipe, I would follow it, and most likely blow up my kitchen. My taste buds are seared, as are my ears. (Forgive me, English is my second language. I am Algerian.) Much I relate to - the flavor in the words themselves... and yes, I also eat from cupped hands. But I must ask you. Who is the bodacious woman in the photograph, eating what appears to be pudding? Is that you, perchance? Your words are intoxicating. I understand nothing, but yet I am intrigued. I am from a Saharan city, but I know nothing of these fortresses of museum wax.
