Happy Birthday Ahmed

Happy Birthday Ahmedan!!!

5 years ago I died and lived after giving birth to you!

Don't you forget it!!!

You're such an old soul

that sometimes I forget you're only Baby

my little man!

May God Bless and Protect You!

Love you always!

I Got The Moves!!! ;p

 I can't get this song out of my head! For the 5 days I'm moving around humming and singing

"I got the moves like Jagger!"

and Abdulaziz and Ahmed would roll their eyes.

"Please mama you're embarrassing!" Abdulaziz would say. :s

In Love With This Dress!

I'm in love with this dress!

Rachel McAdams looked so graceful and feminine

in this Collette Dinnigan lace dress at the

premiere of "The Vow"

The Queen

I know that some of you my friends have expressed

your dislike of her...but I adore her! When she walked

on the red carpet during the Golden Globes

she has outshone every actress standing in her proximity.

To me she is the Queen of Hollywood

and of course we can see her King standing beside her.

Yes she might be a little crazy and sometimes weird... but

that what makes her very real and human to me ;)

 I loved her dress...

Weight Loss From Around The World - Tip 1

Spice it up

Thailand

Thai food is among the spiciest in the world. Hot peppers raise your metabolism, but the real benefit of food with a little zing is that it slows your eating, says James Hill, PhD, past president of the American Society for Nutrition. 'Americans eat too fast,' he says. 'By the time your body signals that it's full, you've overeaten. Eating slower is a good weight-loss strategy, and making food spicier is an easy way to do it.'


Ok then why when we mix ma3bouch (chilli paste) with our Machbous we eat twice the portion we usually do??? Anyone knows why?

Merci Laudree

A week ago I got a call from Laudree wanting to deliver a package for me. I found out the package was their Espahan & Divine cake but it got delivered to the wrong house. I really appreciate their thought and it wasn't a big deal and I assured them of it.

Yesterday I got a call from them and they had another package they wanted to drop by. This time I got it.

Thank you Laudree… really you didn't have to.

Now when I got the bag, the first thing I noticed was the pastel green paper bag. Reminded me of the paper bags we got from our Boulanger, back then when I lived in Paris, same quality and same texture. I was thrown back in time! The early mornings when two paper bags were delivered to our home filled with warm buttery croissants and other yummy pastries just out of the oven.

*sigh*

La belle vie!

Back to the present!

I opened the bag, it was filled with four mini sample pastries, two croissants, one plain the other with walnut paste, one pain au chocolat, and one sugar bun. The aroma hit me right away and I wanted to have a bite from each! Even when I wasn’t feeling hungry! You think I'd share??? No! I ate them all by myself like a little thief ;p

Encore Merci Laudree, and I will definitely pass by to give your menu a try.

 

 YummYumm!!!

Sugar bun
