Temporary Tattoo

A while ago, I saw a video on youtube where a girl used special "temporary tattoo ink pen" to draw a feather on her arm.
The tattoo looked really good, and I wanted to try it myself, but I didn't have those special pens..

Now you might wonder.. why not getting a permanent needle tattoo...
Well.. as much as I'm fascinated by tattoos, I wouldn't want to have a tattoo on my wrinkled skin when I get old..
In addition, there's this idea in my head, that I don't wanna mess up what God has perfectly created..

Still, I like having a temporary tattoo every once in a while.

So what I did is that I took a waterproof eyeliner (the liquid-y gel kind of eyeliner),

and I grabbed  another brush that is a bit easier to draw with.

(not every eyeliner brush is easy to use.. actually, most of them are hard to control.... 

L'Oréal's eyeliner would be a great choice, the one that looks like a marker.. well, the brush is fantastic, but the one I have is not waterproof, so I got my self a nice brush, and dipped it in the eyeliner I have).

And then I just drew a feather...
As someone who just got accepted into arts academy, It shouldn't be so hard.. right?

I think I actually did a good job.
If I had better materials, it could've turn out even better, but.. oh well..

Home made Kebab :P

Well, the title says it all..
Today, we had some homemade kebab for lunch.. yum.

The recipe is quit simple..
It's basically minced meet with diced parsley and onions.
The meat my family chooses for kebab is half veal half pork.
And then we season it well, mix it... and that's it.. it would be ready to cook.
It can be preserved raw in the freezer.. I'm not sure for how long, but it lasts quit a while.

Bon appetite :D

Filled Zucchini

Filled zucchini is one of the best traditional Arabic food..
The Instructions are simple..
You empty the inside of the zucchini with a special tool, clean it well, and then fill it with meat and rice, or meat and onions (depends on the dish you're preparing).

Filled zucchini can be cooked with added water, along with filled grape leaves..
With tomato sauce, along with many other filled vegetables..
Or even in yogurt ( usually filled only with meat, no rice).

As I'm going back to Jerusalem (to where my university is) from my parents' house.. I decided to prepare filled zucchini and take them with me, so I can find something ready to eat after a long day in the university..

So here are some pictures of the preparation process..

The tool used to empty zucchini

We usually cook eggplant, prepared in the same way, with the zucchini..
I don't like eggplant, but my family do.. so..

Then we fill them with rice and meat, seal them with tomatoes so the filling doesn't spill out while being cooked..

Then we cook then with tomatoes sauce..

et bon appétit..

(it's still cooking, so I don't have a picture of the end result yet..)
