    Countdown..8 to Flavour no. 42 Nectarine with Peaches and Cream Cheesecake

    This friday is a well spent day with my friends ,I did an extra cake , a sponge cake with pineapple,orange and banana flavour ,I used Cheese and butter cream frosting on top. I also practice how to pipe but unfortunately the cake gave in. I guess it was too soft and the icing is quite heavy. that’s only my guess 🙂

    before i finish frosting the cake cracked
    and eventually gave in
    a beautiful start cheese and butter cream frosting

    Anyhow, my friends and I ate the cake and cheesecakes with delight and laughter. The cheesecake is perfect in taste and texture…must be! considering this is my 42nd flavour.. I’m down to eight more.. more push!

    I believe i have lost my sense in cooking. On how I should be cooking,

    Ive spent the last two years trying to make something out of this passion. Something I keep on forgetting is that I cook because I enjoy cooking for others. The last two years was spent on trying to come up with some recipe that hasnt been heard of before. I didnt try to appeal to anyone really, more for myself but the constant battles with the number one critic is making it hard to find any satisfaction. Ive gained more satisfaction from serving homemade pizza to my friends than trying to serve something that didnt make any sense. 

    I constantly try to make myself believe that i will be the crazy one. I shall have that random click that will make the norm boring. This is all good but i think i was going to…

  • Bonding time at Eric Zemmour, Jeddah KSA

    Last week, I blogged about 5’Os meeting 6’Os…what about if 2’Os to be.. meet double 5 ?? A mother and daughter bonding?

    I wish! Well, having only two sons without a daughter is also fun… we enjoy travelling together, we share same interest like photography and food but it’s nothing like .. let’s go to salon…let’s pamper ourselves 🙂

    1380758_847494275263078_1106245212110030503_n

    So, I asked Kristine my daughters’ friend, she is like my daughter and one of the pioneer members of the “Kids Fun Club” I organised and handled from 2001-2010. Imagine.., she was only 6 yrs. old then..and now a blooming lovely lady. Yakks!  I think I felt I am on my 60s!

    #throwback I miss you all!

    I miss you all!

     

    We went to ‘Eric Zemmour” a luxurious hair salon in Rawdah District, Jeddah KSA. To my surprise, this is the same staff in E-spa where I used to do my hair and my regular gym routine. Hmmm, I wonder what they gonna do with my membership? I believe they still owe me 2-3 months, Let’s wait and see 🙂

    choosing nail polish
    before haircut
    what a beautiful hair
    before
    any similarity?

    Anyhow, back to beauty regimen, I decided to have a new colour and Kristine choose to do her nails.

    I choose a bit dark colour to cover my grey hair and trim down my hair. Well, another coincidence, my hair stylist name is also Meriam, She is from Morroco, her hand is soft which is good for my delicate scalp.

    It’s friday and there were men still working outside the building, so I guess there was some water difficulty somewhere that they used cold mineral water to rinse my hair 🙂 I like it though, cool and the chair massage was on, so kind of tickly to my ear and back hahaha way to go!

    Well, what’s your verdict?… not bad for soon to be double 5!

    And after salon, of course, we went to The Cheesecake factory, I ordered skinnylicious veggie burger unfortunately, it was not available, so it’s Friday..no diet… Enjoy! huh! I ate all the french fries on the side ( I was so engrossed to our conversation ) Excuses :-)… I know! Seriously, It was a beautiful night for two beautiful ladies…psst! we forego of cheesecake, Our tummy was already complaining so we ended the night with good smile and sweet memories.

    Thank you Kristine, hope to see you more often while your still on holiday.

    Ladies, my verdict? it’s ok! not bad…good experience at Eric Zemmour.

    Did I mentioned the cost? 🙂 🙂 secret! oh well, the hair cut cost 150 SR and one hair colour cost SR380. Expensive??

  • Home baked Cheesecake Challenge – Flavour # 35 Pomegranate Cheesecake

    What happened when the big 5’Os meet 6’Os? Well, either you run because you wanted to belong to the so young group (below fifty) or join the club and be one of the beauty beyond fifties rocking :-)hahaha I bet you’re smiling huh! just kidding!

    One of my beautybeyondfiftiy ladies invited us for her husband 6…and counting bday get together. Of course, I readily looked at my fridge and think what flavour I should bake? I found Pomegranate, heaven! I like this fruit including the seeds 🙂

    Pomegranate - one of my favourite fruits

    I cut three pieces, hence I don’t have a juicer, I just boiled it with 3 tablespoon water and 1/4 cup sugar. And de-seeds it with a strainer then add 1 tsp of cornstarch. The puree is enough for one mini cheesecake only.

    I used Mascarpone (Italian cheese) so its fluffy and soft.

  • My Jeddah food trip with Chef Kevin

    I am so happy to savour the taste of Ramadan Iftar with my youngest son, Chef Kevin. He was here for short holiday before he goes to work as trainee at J.W Marquis Marriott Hotel in Dubai, UAE. Imagine how my tummy jumped with glee and my brain twisted for more calories and my heart was pumping with joy,suddenly…sadness comes when I can not zipped in my trouser 🙂 anymore! hahaha anyway, here’s some photos I took via iPhone 4 ! yes! say that again! still in iPhone 4? ! 🙂

    1st stop – where else! of course at tito nabil’s house. He is a good lebanese cook! We ate with gusto every time! Hummos fattah, wara enab, yogurt hmmm so yummy!

    palabok
    wara enab, sambusak

    2nd stop – Cheesecake Factory, it seems every table has its own service staff, the service and the food are both fantastic.

    3rd stop – Texas Road house, well again and again, this is my favourite!

    4th stop – Mugg and Bean, not so impressive but the conversation was superb!

    5th stop – Romero – one of the best! If you love Mediterranean cuisine and a romantic place, this fine restaurant is highly recommended. From the starter to the main dish, we enjoyed it all!

    6th stop – al ashami – Shawerma overload 😉

    IMG_8808

    7th stop – of course, I also prepared some dish for my youngest chef!

    IMG_8821 IMG_8845

    8th stop – Pizza huh! a disaster, service is not good and the food is not even half italian in taste 😦

    at the end before his flight to Dubai, we went to marble slab creamery, had a fresh mixed ice cream and a little show of catching the scooped ice cream, enjoy!

    Cheers,

    Jamilamimi
