My first barbeque

 

 

finally, my dinner!

 

The night sky

Wake up, its night already.
The cars have stopped honking,
the childhood night is back again.
No stars, no moon, but the dark infinite sky.
A hint of red seems to be a good weather.
I see from my glass house.
Hoping for a cold cold night.

Mr. mojo risin, yet again inspiring.
Reminder of my dreams.
One life as I say.
But, what am I doing?
The slaves I used to mock,
as I am one today.

Tomorrow yet another day,
and I will go back to my sleep.
The rise of sun and I go back to my sleep.
Sleep of my working life,
going back to being a slave!

Kushari - Egyptian Dish

Kushari, a common dish in egypt. I have been told its one of the dishes very much liked by indians there. So, here it is.

Ingredients are very simple and eggs added as too much of vegetarian is just so not me.

But, for the vegetarian lovers, it is a very tasty one.

Here are all the things needed for this dish, its as simple as it looks.

Rice, lentils, macroni, and tomato sauce with garlic and chilli. For the final touch some fired onions.

Eggs/prawn/meat mince, etc if preferred.

 

 

Now three ways of putting it together and making it look just awesome.

Ofcourse just for fun.

 

1. The tiny mountain

 

2. Circular style

 

3. Lastly, something random :)

 

 

And, it was just yumm.. drool..

Happy eating!

Perspective

A sketch started because of the triangular shaped canvas. Just wanted to, had to make something.

So, basically its pen on canvas and a little paint.

Started off few weeks ago.. finally done.

 

 

Falafel - my way

Well, my second arabic dish.. falafel, but i guess I improvised way too much.

First attempt but not so great. Though taste isnt that bad.

 

 

 

 

Hummus

So, here it is.. my weekend adventure. My first mediterranean dish - hummus.

It is a kind of a dip which I adore a lot. So, thought of making it at home.

 

 

Now, its half gone. yummm..

Old passion, new trial

So, lately I have been thinking about my interests and career. Realized that I am blessed that my childhood hobby/passion is now my profession. I finally managed to do what I always wanted to.

But, from past 5 years I have had a new passion, cooking. I have already mentioned that in my previous post.. but the differnece now is.. I am seriously considering if I should try and work in the field. I surely donot have any professional experience, its just domestic, usual interest.
But, I wonder.. been into art and design since forever.. I can't even remember since when.
May be its time I want to try somethign else. But, then again.. making my hobby my profession. hmm.

So, anyway, I decided to make something different. Right now all I know about cooking involves indian and chinese cuisine. But, been here in middle east for 3 years, guess its definitely a good idea to try the arab cuisine.
So, this weekend I would start with the simple ones - hummus (my fav) and falafel.

Next post, I guess would be with the pictures.

yummm... drool (already)
