Busyyyy Bee

Hello my darlings,

I just recently realized that I am not exactly capable of being completely up to date with this blog and this is simply because I am a full time student taking care of an apartment all by myself. Having said that , not much has been going on over the past few days but words, letters, highlighters and RAIN. On a brighter note, I made a couple of good meals over the past 3 days... Oh yes! I forgot, that recycled pasta mixed with atritma was absolutely DELICIOUS !!! Honestly, definately something I would try again. The pasta absorbed the taste of the thick tomato sauce, aubergine , green peppers and mince meat ! Yum !!!Also I left a little of plain pasta on the side and I cooked it with olive oil garlic and coriander and a bit of lemon juice ! ( Yes , I was hungry and fasting)

Just a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese voila !!! Two excellent pasta meals . The secret is a lot of olive oil and a good amount of garlic !

Next day, after my belly dancing class, I decided to come home and make myself some foul medamas. It is the easiest and fastest meal you can prepare and off course DELISH ! So you obviously boil the foul medamas, drain 90 % of the juice then squeeze one full lemon, crush 1 and 1/2 cloves of garlic , salt, pepper, spice ( if u like it spicy ) and finally chop up half an onion and one tomato and place over and there you go, meals in minutes. I personally eat every bite with spicy pickles. You can also add, olives, cumin powder, and tahina for a different taste ! I dont mind either way as long as its lemony and garlicy. 

Funny story happened that day, I went to a beautiful grocery store called MORELATTOS to buy tomatoes and onions, and it is simply beautiful because of the lay out of the fruits and vegetables and the rainbow colours of delicacy as soon as you enter. Obviously ended up leaving with much more than what I came in to get. I also left a very important thing to me behind and only realized AFTER walking in the ugly rainy streets carrying heavy groceries bags. I felt it on the way back home that something is missing ... checked my bag for my keys and MY PHONE IS NOT THERE !!! Now this phone is extra imp because I made a promise to my father to not lose it ( cuz I apparently have a habit of losing that ... and other things ) . Anyway ran up quickly to place the bags and offcourse when your in a rush like that , life has to play games with you, TWICE the elevator decided to take me upstairs instead of downstairs. Finally made it downstairs, ran like a crazy woman waiting for a disappointing answer that no one has seen it and the usual , use someone's phone to call it and its off. It was different this time :) She had it ! The lady at the counter had it and life was good again. I HAVE TO BE MORE CAREFUL , I was honestly really, really hungry and I couldn't wait to get home and start cooking .

The night after this incident, I sat on skype with me madre and made spring rolls and cheese rolls :) I had taken the pastry sheets ( dont remember the name) down from the freezer 2 days before that so it was essential for me to make them that night even if it was 12 am and I had a 8 am class the next morning. So , I started, I fried onions with garlic with soy sauce, added chopped cabbage and grated carrots, with soy sauce and added spices like a bit of pepper, granulated garlic ( garlic is key to this recipe) , spicy spices and even chopped up those mini spicy red and green peppers. mixed it all together , with more soy sauce and also some ginger powder. You don't want to cook it too much cuz you still want them to be semi- crunchy. After I finished with that stuffing, I made a cheese mix consisting of mozzarella, akawi, Philadelphia cheese and parmesan and just a tiniii winiii bit of this oil herb that I have. Rolled that in, separated the rolls, covered them and straight into the freezer . Haven't tasted them yet but I will soon enough, trust me. The day after that I made an imitation of riz b bazela but its actually with carrots, corn and peas. It comes already frozen, so cooked the rice with lots of mince meat and mixed spices. Made a yogurt and bit of garlic on the side with a cabbage , tomato salad with olive oil, garlic, lemon and chopped spicy green peppers. All I can say, honestly is that it was absolutely delicious. One of the best times that I have ever made it . I enjoyed every bite , YUM!
Today, my friends, I am fasting , if it wasnt for my fasting, hungry stomach, I would not have described every meal into detail but I guess you can all see how starving I am . I will eat that rice again , and ejoy it again :) Can't wait, BUT this is after my Zumba dance class, cant wait for that too !!! I will break my fast 1 min after class starts so I will make sure to take a banana and a bottle of water with me :) Ill be fine, I prefer not to shock my stomach anyway .. when I can. 

Well, this is quite a big post, for any recipe inquiries , pls comment or let me know, I know my food is basic but its simple and great for student life :D 

And just wanted to mention that meals I have spoken about have offcourse been inspired by my beautiful mother and also my cousin Sima ! LOVE YOU FAMILY xxx Till next time ! Food Glorious Food :)
