Mjadara.

Hello everybody.

Busy day,preparing for a big gathering tomorrow afternoon for a lovely group of ladies,hope everyone can make it, lots of tasty food I promise 🙂

Most important thing is I bought all groceries and arranged all stuff .After all these years of experience when having a lunch,dinner or any gathering best thing to do so as not to run out of time or have a messy kitchen is to write down a menu that is suitable to number of guests and occasion,of course each occasion has different type of food and different kind of people.

Buying grocery ahead of time is an extremely useful and time saving issue,also try to chose dishes that can be done a day or two before and leave on the spot things till the same day.

So lunch today is mujadara (lentils and rice) plus the spinach from yesterday.

Don’t miss tomorrow’s post ,welcome everybody.

Lovely Limassol.

Hello everybody.

I wanted to post this article a month ago,but then decided to wait till after Ramadan and Eid so as to write it in the proper mood with a cup of coffee!

Many  friends and family always ask us why  we always chose Limassol/ Cyrus as our vacation destination and why not try other places?

Well the answer is very simple,perfect place for a perfect holiday, clean beaches,DELICIOUS food,easy going town cause you can walk to your destination most of the time,friendly hospitable people,short flight,nice weather most of the time and most important for me great shopping!

It is as if going to a mixed European Mediterranean nearby country,has a bit of Lebanon,Syria,Turkey and London (cause they drive on the right side) all together. though this year I felt sorry for Cypriots cause many of them are affected from the economic crisis,too many shops closed and people are complaining,hope things will be better soon.

You can find many places to go to,downtown where you’re always welcomed for a snack or coffee at Petros cafe,Debenhams mall where you can shop,have coffee and eat fresh tasty bakeries,MY Mall,Fassouri water park  for kids amusement and the most recent newly opened Limassol Marina, beautiful scenery and a wide selection of restaurants and coffee shops,you can go enjoy your time and have dinner then coffee or ice cream.

A place we always go to on our first and last night is a small family owned restaurant,Meze Taverna, most delicious variable Cypriot dishes all made with love by the owner and hosted by the most welcoming  Mr. Demidies, warm cozy atmosphere and most delicious dessert you’ll ever have Fried Ice Cream , be sure not to miss it if you go.
