Cheesecake or Sort of !!

Thank you all for writing me recipes, I even got some by emails :) It really made me happy. Friend in need is a friend indeed. I just wanted to share this photo with you. Actually when i first taste it I really really didn't like it. But then I considered giving it another chance. I forgot that this was supposed to be cheesecake and it did taste better. After a couple of pieces I admit this is one of the best sweets I've ever tasted. Don't ask about ingredient because the recipe was recently invented by my mother and I'm not sure if we can find out how it was baked unless my mother herself reveal that.

oh and that was the last course of my so7oor this dawn.

That's all for now

F1.. I need a Cheesecake Recipe

Hi all, I've been searching for cheesecake recipes for a while now. I don't know why i can't find all the ingredients in the market. Plus most of them require to be backed a day before serving. and one of them stays at the oven 5-6 hours after baking!

Any good recipe please.

Ramadan Mubarak

Twenty days late but I guess it's better than never. Ramadan Mubarak everyone :)

Done with exams until finals. That should keep my sane for a while. I'm bothered about certain assignment. It's for Knowledge Management class. We're supposed to share knowledge through Storytelling. I tend to tell long stories and even pointless ones for fun but now it's time to get serious and find me something interesting to share. Would be about war, history, education, society. Still clueless.

I'm not watching, reading, or listening to any news lately. Everything is frustrating regarding news. Fights, blasts, cholera, threats, "negotiation", let alone Floods, tornadoes, and natural disasters. The US election yet has another season of this never-ending series.

I don't know what's with Sharjah and fires. Every now and then the sky is clouded with smoke. I took several photos but not that good zoom.

I guess it's time to write "that's all for now"

So... That's all for now

A Swing in the 13th Floor

I woke up today with an unusual pain in my legs. Nothing came to my mind other than yesterday's mischief of being lost in space after. Me and my team were facing some problems with the spaceship. We had to land in a strange planet where we fought half-robot-half-human army. They were huger than us and were armed with gadgets we haven't seen before.

But that was a dream! then it must be the steps I take to my classes three times a week. After a while it all came back to me.

I was checking my email yesterday around 3 PM when I felt really dizzy. For someone fasting during Ramadan this is not a good news. It means you're not having the right portion of food to keep you healthy. But I remember very well that I had biryanee (rice with biryanee spices and vegetables), roasted piece of chicken, salad and a piece of cake with dried figs for desert. I can't be hungry this soon!

With closed eyes I was still feeling dizzy. Not a good idea to stand up, I looked right and there it was. The stuffed tiger with long dangling hands and legs was swinging right and left. It can't be the AC that made it move because if it was so then the shelves he was hanging on should not move too! Oh my God! An earthquake.

I ran to the next room where my father was helping my sister to hang her new shelves. I told them that there's an earth quake and I'm feeling dizzy. So they'd better change. We have to leave the building. A moment of silence there was and I said it's true look at the chandlers, they are swinging.

The earthquake was still there, the chandlers were still going left right and left, I put some important stuff in my handbag and told dad to bring the case of our important documents. We could hear screams of people in panic but still there was nothing to panic about. I can't remember if my mother was the one who called or I called her but we made sure that she was doing fine and we told her we're leaving the building.

When my sister and I went to the lift we found a women I've never seen before. From her features I can say I've seen her before. She must be the mother of the kids who play in the hallway. She greeted us and said it's good that you're leaving, and not to worry it's an earthquake. Dad joined us after a moment. The lift came but it was full of scared people and I think I saw a teen crying.

The women said let's take the stairs. She opened the door leading to the stairs and we went in. I've never seen what's behind that door. I've always thought it was an unpleasant dark damp place like we see in thrillers. Surprisingly, the place was very clean and well lit. I took my sister's hand and followed the lady. Dad was few steps behind us very calmly going down. Then it hit me! We live in the 13th floor! As long as it's not going up then it should be alright. Many people joined us from other floors.

When we reached the 6th floor, my mother was still on the phone, we remembered that we forgot a really important thing upstairs. But we decided to go down anyway. I called three of my friends to make sure they left their building and my sister called a relative. I toled her not to scare them and to give them the news calmly so she did in a very weird calm way buy asking the woman to put her 4 years old son on the phone. I was looking at her and telling her to ask him to give the phone back to his mum. Yet she asks him if he wanted an airplane or a car!

While spending more than half an hour downstairs, under the burning sun, I tried to fine something on the radio to tell us anything about what's going on but it was all in vain. My mother said that in Dubai the earthquake was stronger. After a while she updated us and said that real earthquake happened in Iran 6.1 on Richter scale!

After that people started to go back home since we were almost sure that everything was fine. As long as those were the aftershock then no need to worry anymore. It was nice to meet the thirteen floors from a different point of view.

Here's the news that we got afterwards.
Oh and the boy my sister talked to wanted a fast car :)

That's all for now.
