I don’t know. The red ghetra is not red enough & I don’t wear plain white ghetras. I also think their logo on ghetras would look a bit tacky.

Pictures were taken in EA’s branch in Mall of the emirates, Dubai.

Thank you loco.

Remember ages ago I posted about that basbosa lookalike? the “Baked With Love” post?

Here is the full, extra easy, recipe!

Stage 1

Ingredients for the topping (sheera)

-3/4 Cup of water.
-1/2 Cup of sugar.
-1/4 Tea Sp. Cardamom powder.
-1/4 Tea Sp. Saffron.

Bring the water to boil, add the other ingredients. mix well until the sugar dissolves. keep aside to cool.

Stage 2

Ingredients:

-2 Lebanese Bread. (its the white bread from Kuwait flour Mills & Bakeries Co).
-1/2 a cup of sugar.
-3/4 cup of milk.
-3/4 cup corn oil.
-3 Eggs.
-1 Tea Sp. Baking powder.
-1/2 Tea Sp. Cardamom powder.
-1/2 Tea Sp. Saffron.
-1/4 Tea Sp. Salt.

Put them all in a blender.

Saffron and Cardamom.

The Baking Powder

Hmm.. maybe some more Saffron.

Mix well then pour it into this baking dish (thank you dots…)

Decorate with some nuts (Skippable)

Pop it in the oven for 30 minutes on 350 degrees. If its an electric oven then set it to 180 degrees. 

Once its done, take it out, pour the cold topping (sheera) while the cake is still hot. And Enjoy it!

Note: Don’t let the lebanese bread deceive you, you won’t believe how good it tastes

It all started when the mighty mouse above made an appearance to the girls attending that lecture in GUST’s new campus in Mishref. According to my source, some girls screamed and others hopped on their chairs.

More from the source herself:

Well it was a typical day at GUST; it was my last boring class Management & Organization behaviour from 2:00-3:20pm.

As I was wondering around thinking what will I have for lunch today…
SUDDENLY! From the quiet -boring atmosphere one of the STUDENTS SCREAMED HER HEAD OFF…SCREAMING MOUSE! MOUSE! Her scream (can wake up patients in coma!)

We all jumped from our seats looking for this little ugly creature as we thought and it turned out he’s this little, cute, harmless thing!

Professor’s reaction: (Ooh! Here is the little guy)
Girl’s reaction: (Majority of them ran screaming out of the class! And the rest took pictures of the little creature!)

We surrounded the baby mouse until the security calmly came in and carried the mouse from his tale to the outdoors of the university.

The shocking thing is that about 2 weeks ago on a Saturday, in the same class! One of the sections had a midterm exam and suddenly the same thing happened, but what’s worse than that is they had to fold their legs on the chair and take the exam with pounding hearts! And watch the mouse running around!

I bet they did well on the exam!!!

What a shame! A new campus, it’s HUGE with high TECH. equipments, with uncontrolled temperature it’s either FREEZING or HUMID! And it’s a university where not only students can learn but believe it or not… It’s for “mice” to live and learn!

Thanks Wa6n_3Mri

Just saw it on the Rachel Ray show. If you’re one of those people who love to take care of their purses and its cleanliness then this thing is for you. If you’re also worried about it getting stolen then this is a good investment too! (I’m aware that I sound like a commercial)

Costs $35 – $79. LINK

Thanks pumkinah

Someone from Kuwait airways obviously got pissed at my Kuwait Airways Sells DVDs? post and is insulting me in the comment section.

Here are his comments

“go die yousef you know nothing about kac just talk bad about us so childish and bastardo dont fly with us go and fly with some one who dont give a shish about you and treat you like a dog you are heeeeeheeeeehheee”

“and bastardo yousef show your shishy face so we can sue your (…) for insulting our effort and next time basterd when you get to your destination safely know that pilots got you to where you want to go routen apple ok wa khalik ryalll”

Funny. Considering my uncle was one of the people who established Kuwait Airways back in the 50’s.

Just imagine EVERYTHING is upside down! And YES you can use them while they r flipped!

When Me and the Wifey first got married we got this amazing gift from our friend. She also gave us the M&Ms I once wrote about (she designed that box too). She’s always been very creative and good at designing stuff. And now, She decided to dedicate her time and her ability to create things into starting a business of her own.

One of her gifts to us.

She created her own business and called it Ibrah (means Needle). She parterned with a Kuwaiti online shopping site called PowderTalk. They agreed to sell her stuff to the public. You can find the site HERE.

Something worth noting is that she does these pillows on her own. She has no employees or other helpers. She designs them and makes them from a scratch. And from what I’ve noticed, her material and use of colors are quite unique and durable. 
 
Some of the Ibrah designs you can buy online.

A Few days ago I was talking to Labeba and she mentioned that our local banks don’t allow their employees to wear red ghetras “echmagh.” And today while I was talking with Ali He too confirmed this! My question now, is this for real? any one works in any of our local banks can confirm this? and if its true.. WHY?? What purpose does it serve?

UPDATE:

It seems the rule is applied in

• Gulf Bank.
• National Bank Of Kuwait.
• Kuwait Financial House.

Thanks to Hamad & 5ermesS

I’m having a ball right now. Mariah’s (technically) upcoming album finally leaked to the internet! Been waiting a long time for it. Its her longest time off between albums, she used to crank out album after album each year of the 90’s but now, its been 3 years since her last one! (not bad when compared to other artists. for example Lauren Hill is yet to release a real studio album and its been 9 years since her last one. Thank God I’m not a big fan of hers).

In E=MC² Mariah lets loose and stop worrying about sounding perfect and concentrate on delivering the emotional punch. When she’s singing about having fun, the bass is thumping. When she’s singing about love, she’s emotionally charged and when she’s singing about forgiveness and letting go, she takes it to church.

I’m loving the album. *shocker*

A few days ago Me, Bashar and 9K2HN decided to go to Dalag Es’hail Restaurant/Cafe which is located in Souq Almubarkiya to have something to eat. They have amazing Grills by the way. Anyway, after we finished 9K2HN suggested to have a look at a shop that specialized in…? Guess what?! Tester Perfumes!

The shop offers two kinds of perfumes:

• Knockoff Perfumes.
• Authentic Tester Perfumes. (Just want to mention that the tester perfume will last much longer than the normal ones, Thats why I prefer them).

The price range for the Knockoff Perfumes was about KD3 – KD6, However the testers were around KD7.5 – KD10.

The only problem with these testers is that they do not come with their original box. For me thats not a big deal!

Thanks Bashar & 9K2HN for inviting me, I had a blast.

Mom has been doing this cake for over 20 years. Its one of her signature cakes. As simple as it may seem, Nobody has ever mastered it the way Mom does Every Single Time!

From Mom’s cook book and exclusively (6al) to our blog, here comes the best Mud (chocolate) cake ever!

Ingredients:

• 1 2/3 Cup of Flour
• 1 1/3 Cup of Sugar
• 4 Eggs
• 1 Cream (shown above. gamair)
• 1/3 Cup of Cocoa Powder
• 1 1/2 bar of butter (Size shown above)
• 3 Table sp. Nescafe melted in 1/2 a cup of hot water
• 2 Tea sp. Baking Powder.
• 4 Aero Chocolates
• 1 Flake
• Sprinkle of salt

Mix all the ingredients together in a big mixer, leaving only the Aero, Flake & 1/2 the cream for later.

Mix like crazy!

Mix Mix Mix!

Incase you were wondering whats inside the Cocoa tin

Oil Brush this thing

Pour your mix in the thing and put in the oven for 35 on 350 degrees.

Might as well make use of your time while you wait for the cake. Take out the 4 Aeros and melt them in a water bath (Mom used this word, Bath) with whats left of the cream (remember you mixed just half of it with the cake mix).

Less than 5 minutes later it should look like this, Unburned!

Take out your cake when the 35 minutes is up. It should look something like this.

Cover it with the chocolate you melted earlier.

Sprinkle some of the flake (you get to eat whats left of the flake!)

And Voila!

Note from Mom:

“Many Have asked me for this recipe & I turned many of them away. Making this Cake on your own is what makes it special. If you’re going to give this recipe to the maid, you won’t get the same results, been done many times and the results were always sub par, As they should be.”

The Indian conglomerate, Tata, buys Jaguar and Land Rover.

Excerpts

“Tata, India’s biggest vehicle maker, is paying $2.3bn (£1.15bn) for the British brands after months of negotiations over price and supply relationships.”

“Jaguar has made losses ever since Ford bought it in 1989. Company sources say those losses are being trimmed with the launch of new models. But everyone at Castle Bromwich accepts that Jaguar faces intense competition from much bigger carmakers such as Mercedes, BMW, Audi and Lexus.”

“Tata must “decide what Jaguar is for and what is its strategic direction in the future”, according to industry analyst Jay Nagley.”

“Since 2002, when Jaguar sold 130,000 cars, sales have halved, and the slide continues.”

“In Europe, Jaguar’s sales slumped more than 25% in February when compared with the same period last year, while in its key market, the US, sales have fallen more than 33% so far this year when compared with the same period in 2007.”

I think they were going for a traditional, straight up Kuwaiti feel with this Invitation.

For the Arabic-illiterate, They’re basically saying that the official opening of Villa Moda’s new Almanshar branch is going to be held on the 6th of April at 8 o’clock. The attendants should were the traditional Kuwaiti kaftan for women (dara3a) and Dishdashas for men. There will be also a tradtional musical acts performing for the audience.

We just wantd to thank all of our readers for their support! Guys in less than 5 months we achieved around 24,000 reader/month. if you look at the chart above you can see that in the past 2 months, each month doubled the previous one which is amazing considering we’re only 5 months old! *throws confetti*

Again Me & Yousef would like to thank you a lot!

Its one of those movies where from the opening credits you know, you just know its going to be one of the best movies you ever saw. that was the case with me, my friends and whoever watched the movie.

The movie is set in the early 1900s. It tells the story of a young 15 year old black girl named Celie. Celie was constantly abused and humiliated by her father who later forced her to marry a widower with a bunch of kids. and that widower, Mister, as Celie would call him, picked up where her father left.
