Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
It is the custom for a mother to send a bowl of this soup which has been decorated with Jordan Almonds to her neighbor to announce the arrival of her baby's first tooth. The neighbor returns the bowl with a pair of socks, an undershirt or other small article of clothing for baby.
Don't wait for your baby's first tooth to make it. The warmth and aroma of it ar a wonderful on a cold winter night.
When you go to a Lebanese grocery to buy the wheat. be sure to specify you want ummeh lil suleh - unskinned whole wheat for boiling. This is different form the umm-eh you'd buy for hareesee.
