Hello everybody.
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.
separable cheese garlic bread.
kebab sandwich.
yummy when dipped with olive oil balsamic vinegar.
Hello everybody.
A dear friend of my mother in-law called me saying that her apricot tree is overloaded and most of it is over ripe so she wants me to come pick as much as I want
A custom of mine each year I make this jam just as my late grandma used to make it,she had a big tree in her garden and we used to help her pick it and make ripe ones jam,she even used to break the seed and add the nut inside to the jam,but this is really hard work,poor teita. she was very patient and did them all without grumbling at all,God bless your soul my dear grandma<3
Well I did go yesterday to auntie Haifa’s ,had a cup of coffee and took a big big bag of beautiful fresh apricots,perfect for jam.
last night I cleaned and pitted them then added sugar and cooked them today, by the way lunch today was steak sandwiches,same that I did before.
Ingredients and method of jam:
* 1 kg ripe apricots.
* 1 kg sugar ( you need equal amounts of fruit and sugar,you can measure in cups also)
* 2 tablespoons lemon juice.
* add sugar to apricots stir well then put on gas on medium heat till bubbly.
* reduce heat to minimum and keep boiling for 40-50 minutes removing froth whenever it’s formed.
* keep stirring mixture then blend it with hand mixture if you like or leave it in chunks as you prefer.
* add lemon juice and leave it boiling for another 15-20 minutes or till it’s thick .
* cool and fill in cleaned glass containers,then keep in fridge.
I usually wrap jars with ribbons or accessories, great gift full of love 🙂
tasty with white cheese!
this is today’s lunch.
Hello again.
Lunch today is a favorite for all, plus it’s convenient when family members arrives home at different times.
Steak sandwiches can be a goid trick for kids who doesn’t like meat..making it into sandwiches is more convincing.
Ingredients:
* shredded beef steak.
* shredded onion.
*shredded mixed sweet peppers.
* shredded mushrooms.
* gravy powder or steak seasoning.

* add beef, seasoning and salt. Mix till meat is almost done.
* add the veggies then leave to simmer for 30 minutes. You can add a bit of water to ensure all ingredients are well done.
* fill the breads, add cheese, lettuce, mustard, ketchup as each one favors.
