(13/06/02 10:56:32) I'm glad they got through, after the fracas with Brazil.

ANTHEM WORDS

March of Independence

Fear not and be not dismayed, this crimson flag will never fade.
It is the last hearth that is burning for my nation,
And we know for sure that it will never fail.
It is my nation's star, shining forever,
It is my nation's star and it is mine.

Frown not, fair crescent, for I am ready to die for you.
Smile now upon my heroic nation, leave this anger,
Lest the blood shed for thee be unblessed.
Freedom is my nation's right,
Freedom for us who worship God and seek what is right.

RECIPE

Lamb Kebab with Yoghurt

900 g mutton; 3 Pides (slightly leavened bread); 5 tbs butter or margarine; 2 medium tomatoes (very ripe) Sauce: 500 g plain natural yoghurt; 1 large tomato; 6 green peppers; 1/2 tbs red pepper

Heat both sides of the Pides gently on a grill, cut into cubes, put them on a preheated plate and mix in 2 1/2 tablespoons of melted butter. Marinate the cubed meat in onion juice and olive oil then skewer them leaving 1/2 inch between each cube. Place skewers two inches above moderate coal fire and grill all sides until golden brown for about five minutes. Peel and dice the tomatoes, then cook gently for two minutes. Spread the cooked tomato sauce on the Pides and cover with beaten yoghurt. Place the kebab decoratively on each plate, top with red pepper and melted butter. Slice the tomato and grill very gently, grill the green peppers well and use the two as the topping. Serve hot.
