  We  Focused on building a global community.  My Interest People assume that because I work in veterinary medicine I do not deal with a lot of people, but it is actually the opposite. Through veterinary medicine I have met a lot of people from various backgrounds even within our own Los Angeles community. I have interacted with clients experiencing homelessness and millionaires who paid 10 grand for their animal's surgery.

Step 1: Cut your Vegetables and Prep your Plate Cut up a tomato or banadoura (بندورة) and cucumber or khyaar (خيار) into small pieces and put them on a plate.  In the middle of the place place a little bit of lebneh (لبنة).  Lebneh is a type of cheese made from strained yogurt and you can easily find it at an Arab market such as the Jordan Market or Bolmart Mediterranean Market. On top of the lebneh put a little bit of olive oil or zayt zaytoun (زيت زيتون) and I like to add so...
