Birthday Cake

Birthday Cake:

Yes! Another chance to make a cake…It’s a pleasure!

This one was for a birthday party for a colleague’s Mum!

She likes….her shoes!

I was looking forward to making it but then my back started hurting… I thought I may not be able to make it… I kept praying… for my back!

We do take our abilities for granted…

We do take our good health for granted

Its good to be able to celebrate a birthday in your seventies.... being able to wear your shoes and.... dance…..

Chakchouka, Houmous, Caramelised onion and other stuff!

My daughter who is 17 and works part time wanted to invite her friends over, She has a very tight budget and I was suffering from back ache for 2 weeks… (Still feeling the pain !).

I needed to cook for 15 Young people (My kids, my daughter’s friends and me (Well I am still young!.. Besides, age is not a number…it is a feeling!...Well that’s the only way you can deal with it with pride!)

Cooking for a big number, with a very tight budget and by a woman on a stick(its my BACK not my age… I insist) seemed as an impossible mission!

But we succeeded…. In two hours, I produced a good variety.. have to say, my daughter did all the cleaning, clearing, stretching and bending… I think we formed a good working team… the girls were good at bringing in other stuff.. we had a cake, some pastries and nachos… A well enjoyed evening!

I shall write the recipe for each dish in the next new blogs... Keep following!
