JaraBeenOPhobia

What is "jarabeenophobia"? it is the phobia of "JARABEEN"? jarabeen = Socks in ghazawee or general falasteeni... in jordanian "kalsaat"

3anyway... so let me explain.. ever since i got married i have started doing a lot of laundry and i realized that i hate jarabeen... i hate how they hide in the ghaseel and sometimes in other clothes! What i hate is when you finish the laundry and then realize you have just one fardeh clean other lost somewhere beneath the pile! ARghhh..

i must say... jarabeen have a life of their own... at the moment mush tay2aaahum kolhum!

Ya Lahwee Ya Lahwee

It's been a while since i blogged and here are the following reasons...

Lots of work
Lots of na3as
Lots of tabeekh & tabeekh research

i could tell you all about my new cooking adventures , accomplishments & ofcourse my new injuries.. but i would rather share a more interesting story! I also promise to share the recipes with you all inshala b4 ramadan is over..

Now.. why the ghosts in the cartoon? *dino hears wolf howling in the background of her mind and shivers and bites her nails vigorously * spits nails out because its ramdan balash tiftar 3aliehum .. ok too much info! :P

i have been having nightmares... i always dream that there are people living with us only they are not exactly "PEOPLE"...i try not to think of it because i know they can't harm you especially when you read quran and du3a2.. but its just creepy! And when i say i dont want to think of it i think of it more!

*twilight zone music

Do you guys have any creepy stories to share? yala isri3ooni kaman! ma ho na2isni :P

RAMADAN KAREEM

Sub7annallah... RAMADAN is HERE! Just felt like yesterday that we were saying the same thing! It's my first ramadan as a MADAM! The first ramadan where i do the cooking hehe

You know i'm sure most of did go grocery shopping before ramadan.. well i did.. and even though you plan on buying just a few things.. knowing its ramadan and you will be starving and you will be thinking about your "IFTAR" all day.. you end up loading your cart with all sorts of food! As if you heard that a NUCLEAR bomb is going to hit the country and you have to get as much food as possible to survive in your shelter!

Oh and that shopping trip was made on a normal day when you are not fasting... wait till you go grocery shopping when you are fasting and there is like an hour left for adaan!! AAAAH! that is what i would call " IJRAAAAM" <-- a criminal act lol so.. about cooking.. i love cooking.. seriously! i will post pics after a request from the readers but as soon as i fix my camera! It's ART! really! your tabkha is your work of art! 3anyway... so my point is.. although we tend to get carried away with food in ramadan.. it is not the purpose of the month and we should all take advantage of these few blessed days and try to focus on the true purpose behind ramadan.. its not to watch all those tv shows or to eat like never before.. it's to get closer to God to feel the spirituality of this month.. to reflect on the past ramadan and how we were then.. will we be better this yeas? we should always hope and aim to be a better muslims, better people... I think of it of a chance of repentance & self-renewal.. May God BLESS YOU ALL!

May this month be an end to all sadness ... Inshala baba will be better after we all pray4 him throughout ramadan... Al hamdulilah he is back home... recovering really slowly... but at least there are signs of recovery

May God accept our prayers & good deeds & forgive our sins and negligence throughout the years..

RAMADAN MUBARAK TO ALL

Ana M3aDaLLeH

Now i can say im officially married.. liesh? well.. i discovered i can cook! no seriously i CAN cook! You eat it my tabkha and not only are you alive it actually tastes GOOD! * dino pats herself on the back and says " m3addala zay maaaaamit-ha" hehe

Not only do i cook.. i also manage to always leave a memory of the tabkha on my skin.. a scar of some sort.. a cut.. a burn... i ALWAYS forget to wear those cooking glove mittens we have!!

So i recently discovered that i can master the act of MULTI_FUNCTIONING.. once i was cooking lunch & dessert (nutella cupcakes) with ghaseeel bilaflef in the ghasaleh.. TV show on for entertainment... phone on speaker so i can talk while i cook... mamsa7a under my feet to wipe the mess i make.. between stirs i usually do the dishes... or anshur il ghaseel.. then lamlim the first batch of ghaseel & ofcourse somehow i manage to make time to get rid of all the lovely tabeekh smells from me and look nice before 7amooda gets home... Sometimes he comes early and i'm in the middle of this mess he3 he3 he3


AM i bionic woman or what? thinking back at the me b4 marriage i never thought i would be able to do all these things and work! But discovering the Chef Dino$ in me is GREAT! i LOVE cooking!!! yummy!

My cow refuses to stay in my kitchen while i cook and says she will not witness the cold blooded murders of any bagara... she has been trying to make me become a vegetarian... convincing me that chicken is a better choice...

bas sho 2a3mal i'm not really into beef but ya3ni generally speaking Ba7ib il la7ma!

Unforgettable Video$

And this chechen boy has a future in dabkeh in the arab world !! look at the hand moves and the turns PROFESSIONAL! hahaha love it!

HoneyGamar III

So.. as i promised you here is the continuation of the honeymoon post... i would like to see this as the highlight of the honeymoon... it was a rather different experience!

In Koh Samui there was a place with waterfalls and ELAPHANT rides! I also saw a cute yet very jarban monkey and as soon as i got close to him i think he had mistaken me for his mother girdeh hahaha if i believed in past lives and being an animal in my past life i am pretty sure this would make me think i was a girdeh!
ok did i just insult myself? lol

anyway so he hugs my foot and holds on to it even after i raise it and try to shake him off he thinks its a joy ride! i have it caught on tape lol 3anyway.. other than my lost jarban gird i dunno why i made ahmed ride an elephant with me... i remember being on a camel in 3amman and i remember thinking... WHERE IS THE SEAT BELT!

when i was a kid once i fell of a 7mar... nice sa7? brought back memories..

so there were big elephants and there was a few baby elephants... for some reason we rode the small elephant!! hmmm it's scarier than being on a camel! poor thing was probably suffering ana wa a7med are giants in thailand wa this elephant zghantoot like thailandiyeen! i think it was meant for strictly tiny people!

so... the ride began and not only was it me and ahmed on the lovely gelephant!

there was the ( shall we say ) driver who sits on the elephant's head! hehe he had some sort of painful 7adedeh in his hand and he would yell things like " EEEEEEYYYYAAAAA" or " AAAAAAAAOoooooY"
and the elephant would understand!! i learnt a few words!! i can imagine the elephant thinking " MUSh BIKAFEEE ka3id 3ala raseee kaman bitrakib 2 giants 3alay wa mush 3ajbak kol3aaa6 ykal3i6ak!!!"

haha soo then after the elephant had a few stops for breathing.. and after ahmed and i tloola7na from side to side wa sirna hayk milkshake 2ad ma nkhadayna.. the elephant decided to end the ride with a lovely "BATHROOM STOP"....

have you ever been on an elephant while he goes to the loo? ishi kteer raa2i3.. hahahah the man started saying " YOU ARE ON WATA FOO WATA FOO" i was like "whata what??"

HE MEANT WATERFALL il elephant Pee...

jameel jameeel... it was a lovely experience.. the smells were breathtaking.. literally i could not BREATH hahah

but the place was amazing! and it was soo much fun!! i loved everything!!!
