Cooking Inspirations.

There is this recipe for a rhubarb danish I really want to try - but no rhubarb here in Jordan. It's a bit fussy but seems like worth the trouble. 
I also fell in love with this super healthy blog recently (mostly vegan/definitely vegetarian) and made these muffins today (But with apples instead of rhubarb, duh!) which turned out nice but might need some more work and as soon as someone brings me psyllium husks (next week!) I will make this "bread"

I fell in love with their love and cannot stop watching this. Bittersweet

Strawberries and Poppyseed cake

There are plenty of cakes that are made for celebrations. Birthdays for boys, anniversaries, birthdays for girls, birthdays for grown ups, Birthdays for grown ups reminiscing their childhoods.

This is not one of those cakes. You saw that coming, didn't you?
This is one of those cakes that you make to share and celebrate without an occasion. It's a stunning little cake - only 20cm/8inches - but it has four layer soaked in a mixture of orange juice and orange liquor, giving it the most subtle orange flavor. And all this mixed with poppy seeds for some crunch and texture. I love that this is not the usual lemon and poppy seeds.

May 2013.

Seen.
Promised land.
The Samaritan.
Iron Man 3. (Do you see a trend of who gets to choose the movies around here?)

"Stomp" with the kids.

Listened.
Too little really good music.The continuous meowing of three kittens that live around the office (so loud!) until they suddenly stopped. Fingers on keyboards, busily typing away.

Read.

The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins - I admit, these books would probably never have happened if it wasn't for book club (next month we're reading "The Great Gatsby"! We don't read trash only.) but we were only required to read book 1 and once I was through with it in... well, one day, I needed to get the others too because when I know there is a sequence I'll make sure to read it.
