Spaghetti and Meat Balls.

Hello everybody.

We all ate too much yesterday,kebabs were really yummy so decided to lighten it for this evening.

I made simple spaghetti with olive oil salt and pepper,meat balls with tomato sauce,garlic bread,Caezar salad and french pizza. Kind of Italian night !!

No dessert cause we’re going to visit my brother I’m sure we’ll eat dessert there.

Hello everybody.

Hot weather today ,no place for a hot meal or meal.

So I made steak sandwiches with some fried chili potatoes and I have some pizza from yesterday.

To be honest I made a new cake,got the recipe from Instagram but it turned out a failure,don’t know why,though it’s very easy and seemed yummy but no no,total failure 🙁

Mloukhieh <3

Hello everybody.

Today early in the morning I picked my share of fresh mloukhieh that I usually buy from a lovely lady,all cleaned and packed ready to use,both kinds coarse and fine, and to store for all year long.

People differ in liking or not liking this dish,you may find some who simply love it like my uncle,who can eat it anytime or very frequently,and some who can’t eat it at all like my brother ! Well it’s a matter of taste,my opinion it’s a delicious meal specially with lemon juice,pickles and hot peppers,easy to do and a good solution sometimes if you’re in a hurry!

I also made eggplant fatteh,watermelon juice and usual soups.
