bacon? أستغفر الله

looks good. I will post a couple of pasta dishes later. But, watch out. summer (mimicooks) makes a better meal while blindfolded.

Here is a funny story mab3oos, The first peace of meat I bought was 0.8kg of pork meat, my family are muslims and they can’t eat that, and my brother figured it out so I couldn’t just forget about it and make them wonder what the secret ingredient is :P

So I ran back to the store and grabbed to bags of Swedish meatballs, and yes, I found out later on that they are pork too, and stores here do not take back meat after it leaves the store.

I have now more than 2 kg of pork meat for myself and the cat, I bought some frozen sheesh tawooq meat instead, worked pretty good.

About mimicooks, I am sure she does, I was referring to girls my age or a bit older :P

this is mean! it looks so yummy! what can we use instead of bacon? i mean im not a fan of small meat pieces in food. i like it big enough :D

about last part. i know for sure you cook better than me ;)

Almost anything really, chicken breasts work, I used sheesh tawooq meet for mine, it worked pretty good and it was easier too cook.

Wait, what happened to Ola Is Fat? He seems perfectly normal to me.

Oh and sorry about Cod4, my cd broke so I’ll have to burn a new one. In the meantime, we can play GoW2 horde?

I know, he is not, I just like to annoy him by saying that :P my account OlaIsFat on xbox live went offline two days ago, I made a new one called catsareverycute.

Sure, we can do so!

Pork out of the game, the meal looks yummy! and yes, you beat me, at least, in meal presentation! :D

sa77a!

lol, think AGAIN when placing such insults over the female blogging community you arrogant kid, and don’t bet all your €€ on it :pp No better than him 2al pfffff :p

secratea:
3a 2albek, glad you liked it :D

M.:
Insult? why so pissed off? have some sense of humor, its a joke.

I was merely teasing you, I am sorry if I made you feel offended, honestly not my intention; Let’s just settle on having completely different sense of humour and nothing more than that ;)
But just for future reference, “:p” is generally a sign of tease, and mostly well-meant, not a sign of someone who is pissed off and unable to take a joke. Still, we don’t know each other so I cannot expect you to either read it the right way, or play along. Fair enough, so I am gtfo, I know the way out

xx

M.:
Sarcasm, sorry, it didn’t get across the way you intended, I forgive you, and sorry about the gtfo part, that was due to the misunderstanding. ^^

My mum cooks better. She’s the best cook in the world. She beats Gordon Ramsay’s butt-naked ass.
