Artichokes!

Hello everybody.

My big artichoke plant needs harvesting,they’re much much better than last year’s ones, no insects at least.

But as usual though big only the end of bulp is used, after boiling them with some lemon I peeled them and made a nice rich salad with baby corns and palmetto.

Raseberry Lemonade.

Hello everybody.

Gardening today,went to our usual place and bought lovely new plants and flowers.

Lunch was a quick Shakshouka a favorite anytime, I also made a small Greek salad and a pitcher of raseberry lemonade since I have some, thanks to my cousin Ghada who mentioned the idea.

A very refreshing cool drink specially after working out.

* 1 cup water.
* 3/4 cup raseberry.
* juice of 4 lemons.

* boil water and sugar till a bit syrupy.
* mash raseberries of blend then add to syrup through a mesh.

That’s it!

Chicken Ceazar Salad.

Hello everybody.

Cleaning up the kitchen today, though it’s tiring but had to be done every now and then,but results are satisfying at the end.

Lunch was beans from yesterday with a big bowl of Ceazar Salad with grilled chicken on top,refreshing after hard work.

I also planned some nice mints in these cute pots so as upon my son’s advice those tiny ants will go away,they say mint odor repels ants,hope this trick works cause nothing else is.

Couldn’t resist to get this beautiful bunch of flowers and planted it outside by the kitchen door,lovely don’t you think?

Gardening !

Hello everybody,hope you’re enjoying your weekend.

Today is gardening Friday, it’s a ritual each year to go to plant nurseries and remodel our garden,we’re even late this year,so today is the day.Started early in the morning and just finished planting now,not me of course,  I’m only my hubbies helper,to be honest I never planted anything and lived so I gave up long time ago!! all credit goes to Abu Khalil for sure <3.

At lunch time we crashed at my mother-in law,she already made roasted chicken and potatoes and  I quickly made pasta with white cheese,pesto sauce and parsley as a side dish.

As a reward after a long hot day working outside I made a dish of Banana Split but without cream, only ice cream,bananas,biscuits,fruit salad and chocolate syrup.

Lovely day,but work is yet not finished,we’re continuing tomorrow Insha’Allah.
