Terrine tricolore

When you decide you do not like a friend anymore, you have two options:

First you can just detach yourself from them, avoid them , stop talking to them and feel discomfort every time you meet them …( Well! you are bound to meet them.. You would certainly see them at friends’ gatherings, weddings, celebrations…)

Your second option is to keep inside all your emotions and keep smiling.. go with the flow … And then , you will feel the biggest discomfort ever…. Even when they are not around .. you feel hypocritical, deceitful…

But I found a third option… You change them!!! You change what you do not like in them! And then they will look nice and you start liking them… loving them… adoring them…

Well I am still working on this theory..

I know it works on vegetables!!!! I am not sure about friends!!!)

Look at my terrine!!

I bet , all the kids who don’t like broccoli and carrots and for their taste and potatoes for their shape, would love my terrine.

Its beautiful and it tastes great but most importantly it has all the bounties of the vegetables.

You know what?

What is wrong with the Broccoli, The Carrot, the Potato in their nature form and taste???

You know what?

I wish we can stop looking at shapes and tastes and concentrate on the inner beauty of the Broccoli, Carrots, Potatoes and Friends!!!!!!

Beef Wellington

When Pride and Arrogance failed to carry Love, Time carried it.
But Time also carried Regret and Sorrow
Time carries them and never disposes of them
When it wills, it shows them and when it wills, it shades them.
At moments,Time carries them with love but often it carries them with pain.
The wisest amongst us, is he/she who knows when to celebrate them..or when to bury them!
What does this has to do with Beef Wellington???
Well... nothing..
Except that I cooked it with love and had no regret...
Yeah! Yeah!
I know... In Algerian we call that "tfelseef bla ma3na!" (Useless fluff or Talking rubbish!)
Well.... Time will tell.

Birthday Cookie

Croki, Biscotti, Fekkas

How simple is it to be simple?

It is a skill… believe me it is a sophisticated skill

A skill you would struggle to acquire

In a world where every thing and every matter is complex

Last week I said yes for a matter and I was told it was the wrong answer….

Few days after a similar matter arose and I said No…

And guess what.. I was wrong again!!!

Can I ever… simply get it right?

Well Faiza… on occasions like that.. just have break… Have it simple… Have a Croki!

Basket Ball Shoes Cake

Deception is not caused by people.. It’s caused by expectation..
The highest you set up your expectation… the more deceived you’ll be.
I asked a friend for care..

I did not get it …
Deceived? 
No …
Expected care?
No!!!..I expected friendship!

However… There is a cure for everything… for example.. try making this shoe..
It is a soothing cure!!!.

Fruity cake

People see happiness differently,
For me, it comes in bright colours, beautiful shapes, delicious tastes and pleasant smells.
For me, Happiness is in nature..
For me, Happiness is a present from the Lord
For me, Happiness is Eid…

Saha Eidkoum. 
Honestly.. 

Look at the cake again..

 Don’t you see happiness?
Well… I do.

Healthy Gratin and Salad

This morning, a friend told me that I have not put any post on my blog for a while….

I did not know that this friend followed my blog….

You go through phases in life when you do things with passion because you just like doing them … and then you stop…..

Not because you don’t like doing them anymore…

You stop because you are looking for somebody to tell you you should do them again.

This somebody is your friend…

Then you go back to doing what you like doing …

Not for your friend.. but

For the love of doing them…

And for the love of being reminded by your friend that you love doing them…..

Isn't that a healthy thought...?

As Healthy as my gratin and salad...1

Et Voila!
