There’s a saying in Egypt -“bukra fil mish-mish”
بكرة في المشمش
Literally it means “when the apricots bloom,” but people say it to mean “never.” Sort of like “when pigs fly.” That’s because in Egypt apricots (mish-mish) have a very short season.
Guess what? It’s that time…
When the apricots bloom, you have to act quickly. Good thing I keep my tart pan handy.
