Hello everybody
No cooking today not only cause tomorrow is the first day of Ramadan but nobody’s home lunch time so I fixed myself a labaneh and Seniora sandwich with a pickle with remaining beans salad, desert was white cheese with apricot jam I made last night.
Noon time I made a big brownies pan for my son going to a picnic and some extra pickles.
Ramadan Kareem again.

Hello everybody.
Busy morning preparing for Ramadan cause I get too tired first day so thought I’ll do some things to be at ease.
Did some samboosek, cheese rolls, roasted bread and a big pot of syrup for the sweets.
Lunch was various fries, potatoes, eggplants and cauliflowers with pickles and tahini sauce.
Salad was Rita’s recipe, wide green beans with garlic and cherry tomatoes.
Ramadan Kareem everybody.

Hello everybody.
Did a massive fridge and freezer cleaning today and took out many things stored since a long time so as to do something useful or throw them away.
Result was a mix dried fruits,nuts, crushed biscuits,blueberries, oats all bound together with honey and molasses with a bit of cinnamon, cardamom and ginger. They’ll make a super snack during Ramadan specially at suhour time cause they’re full of nutrients and fiber which will help during fasting next day.
Another outcome was a plate of chickpeas with tahini sauce ( مسبحه) decorated with parsley and nuts.
Lunch was Shakshouka, no cooking till beginning of Ramadan, that’s my decision so far.

yummy light food!

Another busy day though it was planned to be a relaxing Friday.
Well thank God that I have a pack of kebab meat that were not done last night so they were a rescue today at lunch,grilled them with some onions and summaq, did some yogurt mayonnaise dip with it.
On the side I made two loaves of cheesy garlic bread one for lunch and the other for tomorrow’s picnic.

Hello everybody.
My hubby started planting some veggies in the farm in a small scale for household use.
First crop started yesterday, a big box of fresh courgettes, separated big ones for sautéed use, mediums stuffed today and cooked in tomato sauce and small ones to stuff with meat for ablama, I’ll prepare and freeze them for Ramadan, a rescue in a busy or tiresome day.
Cooked pulp for Zaid as usual!

Hello again.
Was planning to cook green beans today but all plans changed cause I went grocery shopping at this new supermarket and bought some fresh ka3ek and baked eggs and some cold cuts and cheeses so I decided to fix a quick brunch,good desicion cause boys slept late anyway so it was kind of a breakfast lunch meal.
Centro is a new centrally located supermarket in the middle of Madina Munawara strt. Very clean and tidy,various kinds of goodies specially some Italian brands of pastas olive oil and delicacies,fresh fruit and vegetables, freshly baked breads, excellent butcher…etc.
Very highly recommended, prices are good also, they do have lots of offers.

Hello everybody.
As you may have noticed no post was published yesterday, well reason is that it was my son’s graduation ceremony and dinner party.
Ceremony was in school, very elegant and full of emotions then it was followed by a big dinner party at the Intercontinental Hotel Amman, all party details were organized by the most elegant and professional lady owner of Shahin & Shahin event planner and all decorations were from the shop Shahin flowers and balloons, all was perfect to the smallest details.A big salute and thank to all the team members who made our night a memorable one.
We also ordered cupcakes from Mammy’s cake decorated with a graduate hat and diploma, thank you Lina for a job well done.
