Cheese Cake

My recently tried recipe...I am bad at taking pictures so googled the exact match. Make sure you get the deep baking dish as there are three layers. Also don't use the glass dish as you have to cut with knife, when ready. Remember that products below are available in Saudi Arabia.Ask me if you have query about the quantity. Ingredients: Butter 250 gm Nestle cream (qishta) 2 packs ( or breakfast creams which come in medium small tin) Liquid whipping cream 250 ml 2 packs whipping cream powder form 2 packets containing 2 sachet Kiri cheese cubes 12 pieces Jelly 2 packets of Lime or any flavour of your choice Jelly 2 packets of Lemon flavour.

Happy Hajj and Eid Ul Adha

salam alaikum!!! Youm ul Arfa , a very important day passed and announced the arrival of Eid. Aww am sorry for being late but...well...every homemaker knows..loads and loads of cleaning, cooking and blah blah. Well I just cooked Shami Kababs and Kheer for guests as we had lunch at my mother's place. I was late to bed i.e.after Eid Prayer. I was looking for a REAL LOVELY jalabia but didn't find any so wore shalwar kameez. We did not make sacrifice in Jeddah but sent money to Pakistan for this purpose. My friend is performing Hajj mashallah. I asked her about weather and she said its too hot there. Well we are already done with first day of Eid while some countries like Pakistan are celebrating it today. I wish you all a very happy Eid. *Please read about Hajj and Eid ul Adha in detail at my another blog: GLOWING PEARLS

I told this REALLY BAD ;) news to my 10-years-old brother and he made sad "O" mouth which made me laugh :D here is an extract from a site: The measure, believed to be the first of its kind in the United States, is being introduced in Santa Clara County, an area of 1.7 million people that includes Silicon Valley. One quarter of children in the area are overweight or obese and officials say they are tackling an "obesity epidemic".They said toys were being used to lure children to high calorie foods loaded with salt. Ken Yeager, the county supervisor behind the ban, said: "This prevents restaurants from preying on children's love of toys to peddle high calorie, high fat, high sodium kid...

Carpet or just Tiles?

I always find it easy to have carpets, first of all it is guest ready while tiles are messed up very early, even walking bare footed make tiles look untidy sometimes.We have carpets in our bedrooms but tiles in drawing room, living room and passage. Its fine to have them in Kitchen and Washroom ;) as they need mopping most of the time. What do you prefer?
