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*

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.

Directed by Steven Spielberg.

I never knew Bahrain had started a low cost airlines. Their fleet consists of 2 airplanes, a boeing 737 and an airbus A320.

“Bahrain Air, the first privately owned Premium Low Priced Carrier (PLPC), started operations on 3rd. February 2008 using modern Airbus “A320″ fleet, operates from Bahrain to Alexandria, Amman, Beirut, Damascus, Doha, Dubai, Kuwait and Mashad. By April 2008 the destinations will be extended to include Dhaka in Bangladesh”

Currently there are no routes to Kuwait. but there will be in the future.

Do you know that in the past 5 years 5 new airlines started their operations in the gulf region alone?

In 2003, Air Arabia & Etihad Airways. Jazeera Airways in 2005 And in 2007 Bahrain Air. And I think somewhere in 2008 we will get Alwataniya Airways. Its getting a bit too competitive. (7i6 7ailhom bainhom)

Thanks INM.

BahrainAir

Update:
Apparently there are more and more carriers popping up every day 😛 Mr. Solutions told us in his comment that Dubai has just annouced their own verion of low cost carriers! read more about it Here.

Le Pain Quotidien, to many its just another cafe, But to me, its the home of my favorite egg benedict! 😀 Whenever I’m in the mood for a good breakfast and I happen to be able to get up in time, I go there and have one of the best breakfasts in Kuwait.

Last thursday was a great day for having breakfasts outdoors. We went to Le Pain Quotidien, Marina Crescent’s Branch. The weather was amazing, The weekend was starting early & I was really craving PQ! and the food was outstanding! as usual.

Omelette With Kashkawan Cheese

Egg Benedict

Waffles

One thing was off that day, their service. they were not organized and very.. disoriented? The waiters were not concentrating even when taking our orders! they’re always attentive and very professional but for some reason they weren’t that day.

Today me, Ali and Abdullah were going for dinner at Ruby Tuesday. Just before we were there Ali noticed this new building which, at first, he thought was an Indian restaurant called Muhraja Palace.

This Restaurant is circle shaped and divided into two sections, 2 half circles, One is Fish Market (not related to the one near Marina Mall, and the other is Fusion.

Fish Market is a sea food restaurant and Fusion i think is either Japanese or Chinese. Both restaurants are owned by Americana. Both are going to be officially open in 15 days.

As you can see, the decoration must’ve costed them a small fortune! no i take it back, i think it costed them a HUGE fortune! You can see there are a fish tanks all over the place.

Here is the entrance for both restaurants.

Here is a part of Fish market restaurant. As you can see there are a lot of fish tanks. I think they’re there so u can choose the fish you’d like to eat and they cook it for you.

Thank You Abdullah for letting me use your mobile camera and thanks Ali for asking the employees all these quesion, which proved to be very helpful to this post 😀

Apparently there is a site dedicated to bathrooms all around the world (no joke). You can check all the bathrooms in your country incase you decided to go when you’re out and far away from home equipped with the bathroom shower panels and other fancy things.

Also, we recommend taking a look at these custom frameless shower screens you can ask this company to help you install and make your house look more elegant.

Currently in Kuwait there are only 3 bathrooms listed. If you know anymore public toilets, you can go ahead and add them (good karma people!) 😛

From the Site

The Bathroom Diaries is the world’s largest database of restroom locations.Its The largest enterprise of its kind in the world, The Bathroom Diaries was founded and is operated by Mary Ann Racin, an entrepreneur whose professional background is in art, education and international finance. Racin and The Bathroom Diaries have appeared on CNN, the BBC, USA Today and The Washington Post. TechTV has called the website, “the best idea ever.”

It was just another day in one of Kuwait’s busiest hospitals. A woman came in with her 12 year old kid to see the Doctor. The kid’s been sick for 4 days the woman explained. She went on to say that He suffers from headache, Fever, Dizzy, Vomits a lot and has photophobia (can’t tolerate bright light).

The Doctor knew these symptoms, they were the symptoms of meningitis (sa7aya). He knew that the kid should remain in the hospital for further testings immediately.

Doctor: Look, I think your kid is suffering from meningitis. its a very serious disease and he should remain in the hospital so we can do some testings to identify, confirm and start treating the disease.
Mother: aha.. ok we’ll pass by tomorrow.

The Doctor got puzzled with the Mother’s cold reaction. He thought if he took her to another room, sat her down and talked to her enough, she might realize the magnitude of her child’s disease. So he did.

Doctor: You don’t understand. This is serious. We need to take blood samples, do lumbar puncture to extract some spinal fluids.. we’re also going to give him antibiotics through intravenous drip.
Mother: But maybe this is just an allergy and nothing serious.. we have a cat in the house and maybe.. you know..
Doctor: Are you listening to what I’m saying at all? I’m telling you this is not as simple as you might be thinking! He might suffer from several disabilities! He might get paralyzed! or even go into a comma before you know it! Not to mention that its contagious. You’re risking other people’s lives if you don’t let us begin treating him NOW. you’re risking too much, he actually might die!

The Mother looked at her kid

Kid: But Mom you promised me a breakfast in Marina Mall tomorrow!!!
Mother: Doctor, I can’t leave him today, we have a breakfast planned for tomorrow’s morning.. You know what, We might come back tomorrow in the afternoon 😀

The Doctor lost it

Doctor: Are you stupid? You must be stupid! Slow maybe?? I’m telling you your kid might die!!

Mother got offended and defensive.

Doctor: OK I don’t care! *bi6agag isheelkom* But I won’t be held responsible if anything happens to your kid because of your stupid and careless actions! you’ll sign a form right now stating that you went against the doctor’s orders..

The Mother without any hesitation signed the form, took her kid and went back home.

A few days ago I got a letter from Oula Fuel Marketing Company thanking me for my posts regarding their new machines and their mini mobile shops.

Thanks for the nice gesture. 🙂

I love it when I see new promising companies in Kuwait. Finally we have companies that actually care for their customers and go out of their ways and look into blogs just to see how we’re reacting to their new services! I mean, Thats awesome isn’t it?

Oh, but, don’t get me wrong, I do think the Oula company is great and all, but I still think it needs lots of work to reach its full potential. We’re still waiting for mini markets/stores/groceries, just like the ones in Dubai (in Emirates stations to be specific 😉 )

I love Kuwait and I love seeing us breaking the mold and trying to catch up. Inshallah We’re going to get there one day.

P.S. if anyone from Oula and reading this, Can we know more about your future plans?

A couple of days ago I read on the internet about the controversy Genpets has created when they announced and released their new children doll/pet line. I read into it. The movie child’s play (AKA Chucky) came to mind as I read more about this THING.

From the Site

Bio-Genica is a Bioengineering Company that has combined, and modified existing DNA to create the Genpets lineup. Genpets have blood, bones, and muscle; they will bleed if you cut them, and die if mistreated just like any other animal. The electronic components are only in the packages and are for basic life support, outside of the packages the Genpets are wholly organic.

Its a living organic Thing, or a pet as they refer to it, You buy it for your children. And they , the Pets, “wake up” when you open the packaging. They recognize the first face they see and get attached to it. They Live up to 1 or 3 years, depends on the type of animal you buy.

They have feelings and emotions. they don’t scream when you cut them because they lack complex vocal cords. They do however produce different kind of noises. Here watch this VIDEO.

I’m beyond freaked out.

Thanks blasha for providing the video & bringing this up 🙂

LINK

EDIT: Oppppss!

Turned out the whole thing is fake and was a result of an artist imagination as to what would come out of real DNA and Bioengineering experiments with pets. Thanks Z for clearing it up.

From the Artist behind this idea:

To dismiss Genpets as a ‘hoax’ would be to completely miss the point. The spirit of art is to create an illusion. Genpets is designed ‘as is’ to help the viewer ponder the idea a bit longer.

Link to the Artist’s site.

I came across this Site by accident. Whats up with Kuwait Airways selling this DVD?

From the Site:

“This double dvd, lasting 6 hours, includes many pilot briefings and presentations, a one hour cockpit tour of the A340, a close look at the excellent inflight service of Kuwait Airways, CEO and company presentation, catering, maintenance, flight operations, crew training and a lot more…”

Someone please explain this to me.
