My New Babies

Please welcome the newest members of our family; Julia et Pierre.. :D

Yesterday, my boyfriend and I got two lovely little fish...
They are so cute..
The one with the blond tale is called Julia, and then the purpley.. kind of blue-ish one with the orange tale is Pierre..

We're gonna get them a bigger bowl next week..
But in the meanwhile, they're living in one of my Crystal wine glasses...
Oh, and they're pooping in it too :(

Yesterday they were moving too fast, probably because they were in a new environment.. which could be a bit weird at the beginning..
But today they seem to like their new home :D

Welcome to the family little ones :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..)

NineWest bags and essence makeup HAUL

So today I went to the bank, which happens to be next to many shops I like..
So I thought I could take a look at what's new, but didn't really think about buying anything
(I'm too picky, and I rarely find things I like... so when I go shopping, I don't get back holding millions of bags, actually, most of the times I get back with nothing..)

So as I was looking, I saw this Amazing purse and a wallet... I just loved them..

But they were quite expensive.. So I walked away...
And then I saw a really beautiful NineWest purse, for 40% off...
I got so excited that I couldn't let go of it...

Apparently, this handbag is a new collection, and was mistakenly placed under the sign of the discount by mistake...
So I was granted the discount, but right after, the worker moved all the other NineWest purses to the new collection section, that is without any discount..

Ah.. I was so lucky :D

After that I went to a drugstore, and got few of makeup products...

Essence is cosmetics and beauty care brand that I first saw when I was traveling in Budapest, Hungary a couple of years ago..
I never actually used their products, but I did buy gifts for my sister and cousin from this brand...

So today, I saw this brand, for the first time in the country, in this drugstore I went to..
I got excited and got many stuff..
(I addition, I got Lobello chopsticks that I adore, one tastes like raspberries, and the other peaches <3 .. and some Hello-Kitty tissues... sooo cute!!)

I just forgot to place the nail color with the rest of the stuff I bought when I took the first picture.. lol

I will let you know if I like these new items...

Hello Kitty <3 <3 <3
