This is how she came across another type of blend : ), not musical. What a lovely and very brief <em>United Nations Industrial Development Organization<\/em> (UNIDO) video (subtitled in English) related to the agro-food sector. We learn from the <em>YouTube<\/em> comment below this video that Mazeej is &#8220;<em>funded by Italy and implemented by UNIDO in partnership with  the Ministry of Industry in Lebanon and in coordination with the  Ministry of Agriculture<\/em>&#8220;.    <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bambi knows nothing about this initiative. All what she knows is that the video moved her heart bringing back childhood memories of MANY &#8220;manakish&#8221; [plurar of  man&#8217;ousheh] eaten on the way to school with her friend Nayla! Bambi used to purchase three of those delicious Lebanese manakish (yes, she was a pig in the body of a deer!). She used to eat two of them while walking&#8230; and wisely keep the third one for the recess :). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Mazeej | For the love of Lebanese Zaatar\" width=\"840\" height=\"473\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Vn9ls1UdMIo?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/bambisafkar.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/heart-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-19222\" width=\"186\" height=\"186\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bambisafkar.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/heart-2.jpg 300w, https:\/\/bambisafkar.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/heart-2-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 186px) 85vw, 186px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Serendipity is the phenomenon where we find a wonderful discovery or an agreeable item (not sought for) when searching for another one.
