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?

What to do with Last Year’s Olives?

Hello everybody.

Pouring rain today,hope nobody got stuck in traffic or got soaked wet like me,it was sunny when I left home I swear ! anyway thank God for car’s heater , but roads were really awful and I just heard many people were hurt or stuck in floods ,wish you all be safe and warm .

A dear friend told me last week she do this appetizer with olives,since new ones are about to be ready I pitted all last year’s green olives mixed them with grated carrots,crushed walnuts,hot and sweet peppers,lemon slices and some chili then put all in glass jars and added olive oil to the rim. Great appetizer in cold wintry days like today.

Lunch today was chicken curry also a good choice in cold weather and my son insisted to do some Tacos for himself cause he doesn’t like curry a lot .

I also made Anise Cake to have with mint tea now .

Avocado Dip.

Hello again.
   Today I have enough food from yesterday . So I have no intention to cook, but I have one avocado that I put inside the rice to ripen. I’d better do it before it becomes black.

You simply mash the avocado add salt, lemon, 1 big spoon yoghurt and 1 spoon tahini.

Mix well then decorate with chopped tomatoes and mint leaves.
