2 great ideas for your hookah using pie tins.

Firstly, since most of the hookah ash catching trays are not big enough, I have bought pie tins , cut around a space¬† large enough to fit¬† the pie tin under the original tray and don’t get ashes anymore on the floor. You could do better by looking for a metal tray nicer looking and cut that out also.

To those who say that the pie tin looks “cheesy”, well I’d rather not have ash on my floor or burn my apartment down. Then it wouldn’t look like anything.

Secondly, I hate using those aluminum foil things and punch holes each time, so the same size pie  tin, or better, a large aluminum  one time cooking tray that is cheap, I just cut up into as many circulars as there are room for, punch holes one time, and use them  hundreds of times. They are thicker than the very thin aluminum foils, and the aluminum from the  tin will take  only 2 seconds longer to heat. I think that they displace the heat better also.

Now a “you-saw-it-first-here”. why are “Frisbee”s called Frisbee?

I have to eat crow

Again I’ve put my foot in my mouth!

I happen to love all of the “Al-Nakhla” brand shisha except one flavour

¬†.It always tasted like soap to me and I haven’t touched it in 6 years!

Today I decided to try it again and found that I was so WRONG!

 

It tastes great, smells good out of the package and has the strong taste of peach.¬† This has happened to me before, shisha flavours I’d had before much later taste good. I’m not the only one, but many people have said it tasted like soap, evidently Al-Nakhla com. improved on it and got the taste right.

Here’s where¬†I ordered and bought :

So.. try every once in awhile again the various shishas and keep an open mind.

Hookah 1

Did you think you are alone, or at best a small group of you smoking hookah hidden away in some dark corner like imbibbers in an opium den? HMMMNNN?

Well friend, open your eyes and see the colours of hookah from all over the world, and New York too.

 

Bought some coffee shisha and like the cinnamon I’d bought on the same day found¬† them both weak tasting.

(I wrote about the cinnamon not long ago). I was fed up so I added a tablespon of liquid glycerin

 to  25 grams of coffee shisha and added  around a teaspoon of instant coffee.

 

 Mixed it well and let it sit to aclimatize 4 hours as the previous mixture from the packagage had already been left out 20 hours last week. It was very good and strong but tastes like black instant coffee without milk and sugar.Rather too bitter.

“Stalbet” Arabic for “Laid Back” !

 

 

Maybe if I can find, I’ll get that milk concentrate that usually comes in a tube and is¬† very thick liquid to add for sweetness and milk taste, cuz black instant coffee by itself is just WRONG.

maybe add some honey or molasses to sweeten the mixture
