<p>الوصفة وايد سهلة :)</p>
<p>تحتاجون:<br />
٤-٥ اكواب صدور دجاج مفرومة بدون جلد<br />
ملعقة طعام صغيرة زيت جوز الهند<br />
بصلة متوسطة الحجم مقصصة شرايح<br />
زنجبيل مبشور فرش<br />
ثوم<br />
كوب كزبر مفروم او اقل اذا ما تحبون طعمه<br />
البهارات: ملح، فلفل اسود، بابريكا، فلفل بودر، و اي نوع بهارات تبون. انا حطيت وياه معبوچ و مسترد! عدد ٢ افوكادو مهروس مع ليمون و ملح و فلفل اسود.</p>
<p>الطريقة:<br />
أول شي تذوبون الدهن بمقلى كبيرة او جدر وايد كبير عشان ما يتزاحم الدياي و يصير لين. و بعدين تقلبون البصل على النار لي لما يصير شفاف و تضيفون الزنجبيل و الثوم و الكزبر، و تقلبونهم، بعدين ضيفوا الدياي و فچچوه عشان ما يلزق ويا بعض بس لا تقلبونه كل دقيقة لأن نبيه يحمر، و بعدين البهارات و اخر شي الفلفل و المسترد قبل لا تشيلونه من النار بخمس دقايق.</p>
<p>اذا تبون نضيفون نكهة زيادة تقدرون تستخدمون انواع فلفل او  صلصة الصويا بس يفضل بدون صويا عشان يصير كل شي طبيعي.</p>
<p>قدموا الخلطة مع اوراق الخس و افوكادو مهروس و مسترد زيادة. انا استخدمت مسترد سبايسي</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Since I&#8217;m going back home soon, I&#8217;m trying to clean some of the perishable food items I have in the fridge, which means I&#8217;m coming up with recipes :D LOTS OF THEM</p>
<p><a href="http://13cups.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/20121205-174354.jpg"><img src="http://13cups.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/20121205-174354.jpg" alt="20121205-174354.jpg" class="alignnone size-full" /></a></p>
<p>Today&#8217;s recipe is oven baked fish with chunky pesto. All you need is the following:</p>
<p>- A fresh fillet of your favorite fish. I had the skin on<br />
- Fresh Basil<br />
- 1 Clove of garlic<br />
- Pistachios (freshly grounded)<br />
- 1 tbs of olive oil<br />
- A squeeze of lemon or vinegar<br />
- A pinch of salt</p>
<p><a href="http://13cups.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/20121205-174451.jpg"><img src="http://13cups.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/20121205-174451.jpg" alt="20121205-174451.jpg" class="alignnone size-full" /></a></p>
<p>Directions:</p>
<p>- Start with preheating the oven. (175 C)<br />
- Roughly chop the basil and mix it with all the other ingredients<br />
- Clean the fillet and place it on a sheet of foil. Spread the chunky pesto on top then wrap it like a tent, not leaving any room to breathe basically :)<br />
- Bake it for 15 minutes and serve it with rice</p>
<p>Suggestions:<br />
- For extra flavor, try adding slices of lemons on top of the pesto<br />
- You can rub the fish with any type of spice like paprika for example</p>
<p>That&#8217;s it!</p>
<p>Bon appetit,<br />
Basma.</p>

<p>I&#8217;ve been delaying posting this recipe for a really long time now.</p>
<p>Been experimenting with pizza dough lately and I think I finally found one I like. It&#8217;s not an authentic pizza recipe but it&#8217;s working pretty well with me and I thought I&#8217;d share it :)</p>
<p><strong>Ingredients</strong><br />
1 tbs sugar</p>
<p><span id="more-1319"></span></p>
<p>1 tsp Yeast (from small sachets, they seem to work better somehow..)<br />
1 cup water<br />
1 tsp salt<br />
2.5 cups flour (for rye pizza, substitute 2 or 2 1/4 cups of flour with rye flour. I haven&#8217;t tried using only rye because well I want gluten in my pizza :p)<br />
2-3 tbs powdered milk<br />
2 tbs olive oil<br />
1 tsp herbs of your choice</p>
<p><strong>Directions</strong></p>
<p>- Dissolve yeast with sugar and warm water. Let it sit for couple of minutes until it foams a bit, then mix with all the other ingredients</p>
<p>- Knead the dough until it&#8217;s elastic enough (I sometimes knead it with olive oil if I feel the dough isn&#8217;t the right consistency for me)</p>
<p>- Put the dough in an oiled bowl and cover it with plastic wrap. Let it sit for 2 hours</p>
<p>- Punch down the dough then divide the dough into 3 balls. dust them with flour and either let them rest for 1 hour before flattening them and cooking them or keep them in the fridge until you want to use them.</p>
<p>- If you put it in the fridge, make sure it&#8217;s room temperature before you knead and bake the pizza</p>
<p><a href="http://13cups.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/20121117-000042.jpg"><img src="http://13cups.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/20121117-000042.jpg" alt="20121117-000042.jpg" class="alignnone size-full" /></a></p>
<p>- Don&#8217;t forget to cover the dough while it&#8217;s resting with either a damp cloth or plastic wrap so it doesn&#8217;t form a crust.</p>
<p><a href="http://13cups.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/20121117-000710.jpg"><img src="http://13cups.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/20121117-000710.jpg" alt="20121117-000710.jpg" class="alignnone size-full" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://13cups.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/20121117-000350.jpg"><img src="http://13cups.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/20121117-000350.jpg" alt="20121117-000350.jpg" class="alignnone size-full" /></a></p>
<p>- Top it with anything you want and bake for 15 to 16 minutes in a 390 degrees Fahrenheit preheated oven.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s pretty much it, </p>
<p>Bon Appetit!<br />

<h3>Sorry I haven&#8217;t been able to post anything lately. I&#8217;ll try to post more stuff this month.</h3>

٢- عدد اثنين طماط وسط او واحدة بس مع معجون طماط<br />
٣- نصف بصلة كبيرة<br />
٤- ملح و فلفل اسود و لومي بودر حسب الرغبة<br />
٥- ثوم اذا تبون. انا احط نص فص ثوم</h3>
<h3 style="text-align: right;">الطريقة:<br />
١- بالخلاطة، خلطوا الطمام و البصل و الثوم مع بعض.<br />
٢- سخنوا الجدر و حطوا مقدار ربع ملعقة زيت و فوقه الخلطة و خلوها تطبخ لين يغمج لون الطمام.<br />
٣- ضيفوا الشوفان و قلبوا الطبخة عدل و ضيفوا الملح، و الفلفل الاسود و اللومي<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hello!</p>
<p>It&#8217;s been a while :) and I apologize for that specially that it&#8217;s ramadan and I know most of you wanted new recipes. First of all thank you so much for reading the blog, the amount of readers I&#8217;m getting everyday is surprising, I&#8217;m really glad that you guys are benefiting from what I&#8217;m posting here :)</p>
<p>I moved to the states, finally did it! And I&#8217;ll be posting as much as I possibly can.</p>
<p><a href="http://13cups.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/20120811-101555-PM.jpg"><img src="http://13cups.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/20120811-101555-PM.jpg" alt="20120811-101555 PM.jpg" class="alignnone size-full" /></a></p>
<p>بما ان رمضان فطبخت اليوم محروق صبعه على طريقتي بالخضار. عادة الطبق يستخدم معاه خبز ايراني من الخباز و انا استخدمت تورتيا و الخضار المتواجدة كان خوش فطور</p>
<p>الطريقة وايد سهلة.</p>
<p>المقادير تكفي لأربع الى خمس اشخاص:</p>
<p>- ربع بصلة حمرا كبيرة مقصصة صغار أو بما يعادلها (ثلث كوب)<br />
- علبة طماط مقصص<br />
- ملعقة كبيرة معجون طماط<br />
- شريحتين كبار تورتيا او ٤-٥ صغار<br />
- فصين ثوم مهروس<br />
- ملعقة كبيرة كزبر مهروس<br />
- ملح و فلفل أسود و كركم أو كاري<br />
- نصف بطاطا كبيرة<br />
- خضار: كوسى، قرع، باذنجان (انا حطيت بلاك بينز تقريبا ٣ ملاعق كبيرة و مشروم بيبي پورتابيلا و يسمى كريميني)<br />
- ملعقة واحدة دهن فقط. </p>
<p>الطريقة:<br />
- بجدر، نسخن الدهن و نضيف البصل ثم الثوم و الكزبر. نحمسه عدل بعدين نضيف البهارات و معجون الطمام و الطمام و نقلبه.<br />
- نضيف الخضار و نخليهم ياخذون ريحة الحمسة لمدة ٥-٨ دقايق. نضيف ماي مغلي لي لما يصير كأنه شوربة خفيفة<br />
- نقصص الخبز بيدنا و نضيفه للخلطة. حجم الخبز يكون تقريبا ٥سم في ٥ سم.<br />
- نخلط الخبز، و نقصر على النار و نخلط الطبخة كل ٦-٧ دقايق. </p>
<p><a href="http://13cups.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/20120811-101803-PM.jpg"><img src="http://13cups.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/20120811-101803-PM.jpg" alt="20120811-101803 PM.jpg" class="alignnone size-full" /></a></p>
<p>- يتم اضافة ماي زيادة كل شوي و بعدين نخليه يثقل على نار هادية مع التقليب. الخبز راح يتقصص مع التقليب عشان چذي بدينا بقطع كبيرة </p>
<p><a href="http://13cups.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/20120811-102022-PM.jpg"><img src="http://13cups.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/20120811-102022-PM.jpg" alt="20120811-102022 PM.jpg" class="alignnone size-full" /></a></p>
<p>- نخلي الخلطة تثقل و نسكر النار.<br />
- عند التقديم: يضاف في الصحن كزبر و ثوم فرش أو نقدر نشوحه على النار مع شوية دهن بعدين نحطه فوقه. </p>
<p>كمية الماي: بالنظر.. انا اول شي ضفت تقريبا ٢-٣ اكواب. بعدين قلت كمية الماي و ضفت كوب و بعدين وراها كوب بعد فترة.<br />
اذا ثقلت الخلطة و الخضار ما استوت او الخبز لي الحين يابس نضيف ماي زيادة، هذا قياسنا. لمى تكون بثقل الصورة الاولى لازم يكون كل شي مستوي. و حطوا ببالكم ان الطبخة تثقل لمى نسكر النار اخر شي.</p>
<p>بالعافية :)<br />
بسمة</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I really really don&#8217;t want to miss the deadline so this is what I was able to come up with (can&#8217;t always control clients timings, meh)</p>
<p>What I know for sure:</p>
<p>The girl has a fake wig and lashes<br />
The guy has ugly teeth<br />
It&#8217;s influenced by dars khososi<br />
And there&#8217;s a balloon involved!</p>
<p>Title: The Big Surprise!</p>
<p>Props:</p>
<p>For the girl:</p>
<p><a href="http://13cups.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/20120710-013328-PM.jpg"><img src="http://13cups.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/20120710-013328-PM.jpg" alt="20120710-013328 PM.jpg" class="alignnone size-full" /></a></p>
<p>For the guy</p>
<p><a href="http://13cups.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/20120710-013651-PM.jpg"><img src="http://13cups.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/20120710-013651-PM.jpg" alt="20120710-013651 PM.jpg" class="alignnone size-full" /></a></p>
<p>In my mind, it goes like this:</p>
<p>(el madame) is planning a surprise party for the guy. As she&#8217;s blowing the last balloon, the guy comes in</p>
<p>And you hear a loud pop. &#8220;Screen cut&#8221;</p>
<p>Camera is back on the el madame; crooked wig or extension fallen on her lap, and eye lashes dangling from her eye with an embarrassed look on her face. The balloon popped!!</p>
<p>Camera is back on the guy:</p>
<p><a href="http://13cups.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/20120710-014741-PM.jpg"><img src="http://13cups.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/20120710-014741-PM.jpg" alt="20120710-014741 PM.jpg" class="alignnone size-full" /></a></p>
<p>Shocked to say the least :)</p>
<p>He smiles and reveals his real ugly teeth</p>
<p>And the girl screams and faints in horror :0</p>
<p>&#8212;</p>
<p>Asnan logo then pops with a message about permanent teeth implants. (they may not be able to fix everything ugly, but they can fix the guy&#8217;s teeth)</p>
<p>&#8212;</p>
<p>Then another shot of the guy and elmadame at the last 3 secs with better looking teeth and a really funny remark that I can&#8217;t think of. (every year, there&#8217;s a story, a shocking twist in the middle, asnan logo, then back to the tvc + a funny remark)</p>
<p>Et voila!</p>
<p>I hope it&#8217;s enough! And looking forward to this year&#8217;s TVC.</p>
<p>P.S: I&#8217;m crashing the TVC shoot :)</p>

<p>When it comes to burgers, I always look for 2 components: the patty and bun. We can get good buns in most restaurants but a good patty? Only a handful of restaurants are capable of delivering good patties that don&#8217;t taste like it came fresh from a cow&#8217;s behind or overpowered with spices and hashtag is one of them.</p>
<p>Their burgers taste REAL. No fuss, just burgers served with a side order of paprika fries.</p>
<p>The all kuwaiti staff are super friendly which adds lots of bonus points to the experience.</p>
<p><a href="http://13cups.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/20120704-033200-PM.jpg"><img src="http://13cups.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/20120704-033200-PM.jpg" alt="20120704-033200 PM.jpg" class="alignnone size-full" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://13cups.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/20120704-033342-PM.jpg"><img src="http://13cups.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/20120704-033342-PM.jpg" alt="20120704-033342 PM.jpg" class="alignnone size-full" /></a></p>
<p>I&#8217;m obsessed with Sriracha sauce (seriously! I take it with me everywhere) and of course I had to try it with their hashtag burger and it turned out to be AMAZINGG!</p>
<p><a href="http://13cups.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/20120704-033518-PM.jpg"><img src="http://13cups.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/20120704-033518-PM.jpg" alt="20120704-033518 PM.jpg" class="alignnone size-full" /></a></p>
<p>Can&#8217;t wait to go back there again! This month is all about burgers. I&#8217;m craving them badly</p>
<p>Make sure you visit Hashtag and try their burgers. That&#8217;s what I&#8217;ll be doing this weekend :)</p>
<p>(Hashtag has a new initiative (Plus One) where you can donate KD 1 from each meal you purchase to feed the poor workers which I think is super nice since it&#8217;s summer and the poor workers are woking hard under the hot sun. The initiative is a collaboration between hashtag and Ms. bibi alayoub)</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>وصفة رمضانية</p>
<p><a href="http://13cups.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/20120702-073740-PM.jpg"><img src="http://13cups.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/20120702-073740-PM.jpg" alt="20120702-073740 PM.jpg" class="alignnone size-full" /></a></p>
<p>Disclaimer: this is my own interpretation of maki&#8217;s marina salad. All you need is the following:</p>
<p>- rocca leaves<br />
- crab sticks and a spoon full of caviar<br />
- 1 TBS sesame oil<br />
- 1 TSP lemon juice (or less)<br />
- 1 TSP black sesame (optional)<br />
- 1-2 TBS mayonnaise<br />
- 1-2 TSP soy sauce </p>
<p>All you need to do is mix the sesame oil, lemon juice, mayo, and soy sauce together, then toss it with the shredded crab sticks and rocca &#038; top it with caviar</p>
<p>Viola! You got yourself a nice salad for ramadan :) I discarded the caviar and crabsticks today and it was still so gooood.</p>
<p>Make sure you adjust the dressing to your liking. Example: I like it tangy so I juiced a whole lemon.</p>
<p>Bon appetit!<br />
Basma.</p>
