Translation:
Yona: To make Harees, I boil goat milk and mix it with corn flour and oil.
Shalom: At my work, I employed girls. People told me, “Work with girls, take them in the mornings and employ them with tobacco and water.” They carried a stick to dig the earth and plant tobacco seeds.
Shalom: Yona made food.
Yona: I made all kinds of food – pita bread, laḥuḥ, Yemenite bagels and sorghum with milk.
