simply romantic

2011-06-27T13:41:00.008+03:00

One of my favorite romantic comedies that I could watch over and over again is

Music and Lyrics.

Maybe you won't agree with me here but Hugh Grant is actually one of my best-loved actors and Drew Barrymore is the best co-actress!!

Yesterday, the movie was on and this morning I saw the rerun.

The most sensational scene is when Hugh Grant sings "Don't right me off just yet" for Barrymore. Although the song is absolutely romantic, passionate and from the heart, it's totally FUNNY!! hehehe

here you go... enjoy :)

so creative

2011-06-27T13:18:00.003+03:00

Whenever I go to Caribou Coffee, I always read their tissues... They are so creative and FUN to read!

Just thought of sharing them with you :D

awesome :D

2011-06-27T12:41:00.008+03:00

Being a "bookaholic" myself, I always browse the net for books (of course), fun and weird bookcases, reading chairs... etc.

While browsing just now, I found these really FAB bookcases...

Woke up this morning craving french toast!!

Mixed my secret batter ;) and fixed my cheese sandwich.

Little butter for a crispy french toast...

drizzled honey instead of maple syrup... Glass of COLD milk to complement it!! and VOILA!!!! A mouthwatering, luscious and cheesy crispy french toast!!!

Enjoy your day :D

Everyone is celebrating their graduates.

In our family, we have many who graduated from High school and University.

Part of our celebration, was these amazing cupcakes from the Chocolate Bar.

Vanilla, chocolate and red velvet flavors.

They were really light and fluffy.

I had dinner yesterday in the baking tray cafe. Not my first time over there, and definitely won't be my last time.

We were five, and we have ordered so many things. All dishes were amazingly fresh!! That's what I love about the baking tray; you can literally taste the freshness of their ingredients. AWESOME!

I have some remarks though:

1. In their menu, there's a list of amazing soups. On top of it, it says something like "ask about the soup of the day." I've called the waiter wanting to order the "tomato and saffron" soup and what was his reply? "Sorry Ma'am, we only serve ONE soup a day. Today's soup is french onion." I'm wandering here, if they only serve one soup a day, why do they have all their soups listed in the menu?? Better to erase them or write down each soup along with its serving day. What do you think?

You made me drool on the tomato and saffron soup and it wasn't there :(

2. I didn't take shots of the food!! hmmm... how come?? well... it was HOT!! HOT HOT HOT!! which led me to "not-in-the-mood-for-taking-pictures-whatsoever" the AC wasn't working right and I found out that it's been this way for three days or more :(

Fix it pleeeaaaaase :)

Aaaanyhow... Despite that, I will never stop going to Baking Tray cafe!! LOVE IT!! Absolutely Fresh and DLish!!

Keep it up guys! :)

gazing away

eyes wide open

tears are fighting

smile is beaming...

eyes closed

tears flowing

nostalgic...

missing you!!

talking?

eyes asleep

heart is skipping a beat

reciting your name

mind is boggled in the heat

eyes asleep

what would you do?

2011-06-17T05:51:00.004+03:00

You have a dentist appointment.

In the waiting room, you are so anxious to get your teeth sorted out.

You enter the dentist's room.

Sit on the dental chair waiting for your dentist.

The dentist comes in asking all sorts of questions.

Then starts...

Puts on the mask...

VOILA!

What would you do if you were under the care of this funny dentist? :P

wide awake

2011-06-17T05:16:00.007+03:00

It's 5:16 am!

Is it anticipation?

Waiting?

Worrying?

Not sure...

But hey, a sweet smile is flashing upon my face! This is good, isn't it? :)

cousin's graduation lunch [1]

2011-06-05T23:34:00.008+03:00

Yesterday, my uncle and his wife celebrated their daughter's graduation at their house with the family.

Balloons, flowers, full catering service... Everything was so perfect especially the catering service which was provided by Fauchon.

Tables?

Excellently arranged and beautifully decorated.

Plates and Utensils?

Sparkling clean! Encourage you to dig in.

Service?

Male service team were at our disposal. Whether around the buffet or in servicing drinks and all. They were top notch!

Food?

Buffet was amazingly arranged. Choice of food was full of varieties. The only flaw was part of the desserts; "Om Ali"! wasn't what we expected AT ALL!

But all in all... Stunning and professional service! I would definitely recommend Fauchon as a catering service for coming events inshallah :)

Thank you Fauchon for making my cousin's graduation lunch wonderful.

Oh!! and one more thing!! I LOVE Fauchon cafe and boutique! YUMM!!

Will leave you with some pictures:

ونقّه من الذنوب والخطايا كما ينقّى الثوب الابيض
اللهم جازه بالحسنات احسانا وبالسيئات عفواً وغفراناً
اللهم انزل عليه بردا وسلاما
اللهم انقله برحمتك من ظلمة القبر الى نور
الى جناتك جنات الخلود
اللهم اجعل قبره روضه من رياض الجنة
اللهم بيّض وجهه ويمّن كتابه
ويسّر حسابه
وليّن ترابه وطيّب ثـراه
وثبته على الصراط
اللهم اظله تحت ظل عرشك
يوم لا ظل الا ظلك ولا باقٍ الا وجهـك
ولا تحرمه النظـر إلى وجهـك الكريم
اللهم آمين

Once we start watching this series, we get hooked to the TV screen and laugh out loud due to the brilliance of the actors.

Did you know that "Darb AlZalag" was shot ONCE?? No retakes, no change of scripts. Words uttered spontaneously and totally unplanned? Not a problem... hehe The camera is still rolling! LOVE IT!

One of my favorite scenes in the series is when Their uncle passes by to teach them a lesson. The funniest part of this scene is when Hussain gets whack by his uncle!! hehehe

Will leave you with the same episode... Enjoy ;)

The other day, my cousins, my sister and I went to AlRaya mall. Once we're done, we dined in Genki Sushi.

I'm not here to review the restaurant, I'm here to tell you about their strawberry trifle!! Fresh strawberries topped with sponge cake, fresh cream and strawberry sauce. It reminded of one of mom's old trifles. Summery and cool.

Try it out after a hot day. You will definitely enjoy it!

new cafe in town

2011-05-30T09:14:00.015+03:00

Yesterday evening, my friends and I went to Cafe Bazza. We heard so much about it and thought we should give it a try.

Location:

Bneid Algar - Gulf street (opposite to friday's)

Entrance and sign:

prominent and love the logo (sorry for the brightness hehehe)

the entrance gate is brilliant :)

The Ambience:

Cozy.

Love the whole interior and decor.

Too many tables in a small area. (felt like we were talking with our neighboring table)

TV showing old plays and series

Music is stunning!! Old songs sung by Marwa Ben Sghaier just for Cafe Bazza. So calm and peaceful.

Some of the artworks:

LOVE THEM!

the bathrooms' signs? one word to describe them: CLEVER!

Menu:

I adore how they titled their entries. Using Kuwaiti dialect. Very smart ;)

Our order:

Drinks:

-Rose water. Spectacular summery drink. Very cool and breezy.

Food:

-Hommous? hmmm... was Ok!

-Chicken liver? WOAH!! cooked perfectly. Moist, sour and can't get enough of.

-Cheese puffs? Yum Yum. They were absolutely light.

-Didn't try this one. Not a meat lover! But I can tell you this: it wasn't admired!

-Musakhan: I really enjoyed it. The combination of moist chicken, pine nuts and amazing tomatoes, made my taste buds ask for more. You know? "Simmaq" would give it the right and familiar taste. Was there "simmaq" in it? if so, didn't feel it!

-Cream cheese with olives? hmmm... It was fine! All of us didn't applaud to the choice of cheese.

-Halloumi Salad: I absolutely adore the idea of having the salad on irani bread! After enjoying it, we cut a piece of the damp bread and rolled it with the salad! Tasty!!

Desserts:

-Presentation of the hot drinks was cute. Authentic!

-Gaimar and honey: Well! was craving for it hehe that's why I ordered it :D YUMM!

-Balalee6: hmmm... Not the usual!

-M7albiyyah: Nice but didn't like it's serving bowl!

-Knafa: try it and let me know :)

-Gir9 3gaily with icecream: very interesting dessert. Despite that, I didn't get the "3gaily"'s taste!

At the end of the day, we really had a good time. Thank you Cafe Bazza.

[Of course, this is my point of view, my taste buds and my review.]

I would love to go again for breakfast and lunch to try the rice :D

Anyhow, please check Cafe Bazza:

the not so fruity KIWI ;)

2011-05-23T01:40:00.000+03:00

The other day, my sister and I were on a quest looking for certain type of pastries; colorful tortilla-like wraps.

Sent to all our contacts through BBM, whatsApp, twitter, facebook and nobody gave us what we were looking for.

Why were we looking for such pastries? Cause my sister tried them before and really enjoyed their taste.

Anyhow, AT LAST! we found them!! :D

tasted all the flavors

picked our favorites

ordered

waiting for the order inshallah.

Once we recieve the order, will let you more about it ;)

oh yeah!! hehe... The place is called KIWI bakery in Hawally.

Above: wraps' doughs.

This following is what we were looking for... different fillings. Really yummy and very presentable:

2011-05-21T09:58:00.002+03:00

Have a "goofy" morning all :P

it's all about this:

2011-05-20T18:20:00.000+03:00

Time management

I always hear this: "I don't have time!"

hmm... why don't you?? By dividing your time properly, you can spend your day doing all what you want to do and might even have time to relax, pamper yourself... etc.

I do know this though: some people love to say this in order to give themselves this glow of importance. Why would they want that? I really don't understand.

So...

To have a stress-free and more productive life, follow these tips:

Don't get your to-do-list all tangled in your mind.
Set your priorities right.
Get to know yourself more and know when is the perfect time for you to work your best for each and every task.
BIG tasks can be split up into little tasks. Put this in mind!!
Need help?? ask the one person you know would do the task as you would do it.
Don't do everything at once. Slow doesn't mean "bad."
"Tomorrow is another day." Yes it is, but not for your tasks! Do them on time.
Your to-do-list has trivial tasks with no importance at all, just keep them on the side or just trash them.
Remember that sleeping in the right time for 7-8 hours will help you more in getting your tasks done.
Try your best to get rid of any distractions.

Not that hard at all, isn't it?

write them down in order for you to use them whenever you get stuck!

Have a stress-free life :D

food & mood

2011-05-15T12:51:00.005+03:00

My friend sent me a BBmessage the other day telling me about Food & Mood. She tried some of their orders and liked what she got.

If you aren't in the mood to prepare some mini sweets or pastries, food & mood will help you out inshallah :)

one of the glorious stars

2011-05-15T11:38:00.007+03:00

One of my favorite egyptian actors is Ahmad Zaki (May Allah bless his soul.) Even his not-that-great movies are absolutely watchable as one gets totally astounded by his amazing acting abilities. He mastered all genres and made us get into his movies without boredom. Sometimes one wonders if Zaki went through all those scenarios in real life.

His son, Haitham, is a new young actor on the block. As one can figure out by watching his movies, he's not that brilliant BUT has his father's looks.

After Zaki's departure, some TV channels aired a video clip with Zaki's snapshots accompanied by Majda AlRoumi's song: 7abeebee (my love.) I totally love this video and would like to share it with you all:

"freezing" cannoli :P

2011-05-14T01:14:00.005+03:00

Thanks to Ansam518 again, my brother and I went to Baskin Robbins to try their flavor of the month: Loaded Cannoli. And because I LOVE cannoli (loaded with ricotta cheese - YYUMM), I really wanted to try this flavor.

hmmm... how was it? well... it wasn't that good. What I liked most is the cannoli pastry's flavor and pieces!! But wouldn't have another go.

your skin breathes...

Breakfast and Brunch restaurant is conducting cooking classes for kids after their closing hours. My nephew had the pleasure to be part of a class and now he wants to go again and again.

I think it's really amazing to teach kids how to depend on themselves.

Today's lunch included my nephew's pizza that he learned how to bake through B&B's class.

The pizza dough was absolutely amazing and the whole thing was YYUMM!

Of course I was there with him all the time. My god!! So cute how he read the ingredients and asked me to get them for him.

let's see how it went :D

yummy elegance in a box!

2011-05-13T22:35:00.007+03:00

I've been hearing about Madame Sucré since a while now and I'm so fortunate now as I'm receiving all her updates through twitter. What an amazing lady. Madame Sucré has her own "vintage" dessert boutique. So french and elegant.

Yesterday, I placed an order of fancy cakes; all 6 flavors:

Ginger Brownie - dipped in green chocolate
Brownie & Creme cheese - dipped in dark chocolate
Pistachio - dipped in white chocolate
Raspberry & Rose - dipped in pink chocolate
Red - dipped in white chocolate
Mocha - dipped in milk chocolate
Peanut Butter - dipped in yellow chocolate

They are chic mini cakes.

I enjoyed them this afternoon with my family.

They were delivered on time and once I held the box, "VINTAGE" popped instantly into my mind. The box is absolutely vintage parisian elegance. The ribbon added more sophistication to it. Absolutely WOW!

50 pieces of fancy cakes; colorful and shaped gracefully. (one thing though! I would have liked the interior better if there were dividers between each flavor) despite that, it was STUNNING.

Of course tried them all except the mocha... SO moist and mouthwatering. The combination of the chocolate dip, moist brownie and garnish cream is indescribable... it's like my taste buds were crying out of joy!!! My god!!! My favorite is peanut butter and I think I had three pieaces or more!!!

Going through OLEANA boutique MOST of my spare time makes me so at peace. The site is so calm and mellow and of course it's all about maternity.

Through twitter, I received a tweet about their new "pregnancy and parenting" bookmarks. And due to being a bookaholic, I've instantly checked the site and ordered them.

They were delivered yesterday evening:

Adorable and very elegant shopping bag.

peach tissue paper embracing the products.

"My Pregnancy Diary" as a complimentary gift.

a brochour of "belly bandit" is also included.

LOVED every single detail.

The bookmarks are cute, aren't they? :D

I went with my auntie the other day to Caribou Coffee (Yarmouk.) Was hungry as I didn't eat a thing since the morning that day. Anyhow, I had a sandwich and wanted to have a light dessert. Went to the desserts' display and saw some products of Diet Care. What totally captured my attention was their desserts. Packed cutely and the portion was PERFECT!

I've picked Tik Dessert. I know that most girls know the ingredients as we have done the same dessert at home. It consists of:

Tik biscuit

Cream

Condensed milk

Cream Caramel

Skimmed milk

Caramel sauce

Vermicelli

Sounds yummy but not a "diet" product, eh?

Of course you can do it at home by just stacking the ingredients actually ;)

it's "foldable" ;)

"You must have seen some strange looking concept bikes, but this one is really weird.

This concept bike has been dubbed ‘One’. It can easily be folded into a carry bag with a sleek handle. You can easily fold it and keep it in your car’s trunk for the day when you will be running low on fuel.

When opened the bike takes a strange looking shape. The developer, Thomas Owen states that it has a revolutionary power-assisted system. No more comments are made on this strange looking ‘power-assisted’ system."

Today, my brother asked me to prepare lunch for him and dad. Something very light with no rice or bread as he's trying to lose some weight.

The first thing that popped into my mind was, frittata. I love baking it. Frittata is like a symphony that can be composed by so many instruments (ingredients.)

The key element of a successful and fluffy frittata is whisking the milk and the eggs very well letting the air incorporate smoothly.

First you combine your ingredients in a skillet (stove top) till everything is perfectly combined and cooked.

Then add your whisked eggs and milk.

Scarpe the sides and bottom.

When the eggs are almost cooked but not entirely (still wet from top) stop scraping.

Remove the skillet and shove it under the broiler till the top browns.

** you can add cheese on top.

** remember your salt and pepper.

** you can include all sorts of veggies.

Today I made veggie frittata with turkey and tiny cheese bombs.

play around in the kitchen, make your "signature" frittata" and let me know :D

a book that lasts forever

Once my sweeeeeeet cousins heard about my pregnancy, they immediately told me about this book: What to expect when you're expecting. I looked around and didn't find it... One of my cousins burrowed her friend's copy to lent it to me. After a while, I found it in Jarir bookstore and of course returned back the burrowed copy.

OH MY GOD!!! It's absolutely stunning and creepy actually hehehe [I will go deeper into the "creepy" part in a bit.]

Anyhow... The book leads you smoothly into your pregnancy. It brilliantly soothes your aches (if any) and explains all the new changes. AND WHAT changes especially to a first timer, eh?

Week by week, you learn all what you're going through. You breathe in all the very useful tips. You just get hooked to this book so easily.

Ahem... now to the creepy part :P Whenever you get this new change, some type of fatigue, disorders... etc... you go back to the book and VOILA! everything you are facing is there!! ALL OF IT!! it really creeped me out :P

Thank you Abeer and Ghadeer for this amazing BOOK!! love you.

find it on amazon.com

I urge a first-time pregnant or not, to read this book while enjoying being in her most feminine stage ;)

STOP IT PLEASE!!

Thank you...

Thanks to Ansam's yummy post, I had to taste Baskin Robbins' flavor of the month which is french toast.

So, french toast lovers, you should go for it and try it out. Pieces of toasts fused in a vanilla ice-cream with an amazing indulgence of maple syrup.

Last day today... RUSH to the nearest Baskin Robbins and have a yummy day! :D

Sleepless! Tossing and turning made me browse the net for natural sleeping aids. I checked prevention.com which is one of my favorite sites and found a really great page that gives you ways to sleep better.

Couple of days ago, we had a family gathering at auntie's. Someone came from Vitalgaufre to make us some waffles. It was absolutely yummy! a bit crispy from the outside. And with nutella topping!!! OH MY GOD! It was divine... You should try it :)

You can find them in Adailiya co-op and Muhallab. If too lazy to go there, or having a gathering, call them to have your waffles made in front of you.

Went to Wok n' Roll restaurant, Jabriyah - Kuwait.

Won't review it but I just want to urge you to try their summer cooler:

Kinomi Ice Cream which is basically delicious vanilla ice cream with frozen raspberry in the middle and crunchies and topped with strawberry and raspberry and more of those superb crunchies.

A really refreshing way to cool off!

Have a cooooooooool evening ;)
