I used to order something similar in Casper & Gambini’s the whole time. I think it was the only place that have it. Unless I’ve been away for too long and now it’s everywhere else -

I JUST found it here. But what’s great about it is that it’s ready.. just a couple of minutes in the microwave and that’s it.. you’re done! The fun part starts.. and let me tell you it’s so yummy!

Ok any guesses?

It is sticky.. now I bet everyone knows what Im talking about !!

It is the ‘Sticky Date Pudding ‘. Though in Casper it’s called ‘Sticky Toffee Pudding’ but who cares.. it tastes just as good! And just when I thought I found my hero.. the ‘Anzac Biscuits, now Im completely proud of my new discovery and the sticky date pudding.

I hate sea food. Sushi for me was not even an option.. I couldn’t imagine myself eating anything close to that..I hated the smell, the taste and everything..

BUT, maybe because it seriously tastes different here.. or because I enjoy the whole experience and those funny cute small colorful plates.

Now Im addicted to Sushi trains!!

Sushi is my new addiction, it’s one of the favorite dishes.. and one of the things that would cross my mind a couple of times during the week. I wonder if it really tastes better, cause as far as I remember I never really liked it back home! Weird!!!

Im not sure if this is the best advice or whether it will work for everyone, cause Im really new in this.. I started cooking recently, just a month ago.. and so far Im really enjoying it. Before we do our grocery shopping, I prepare this list of all the dishes I’ll be cooking for the week, and then according to that we’ll buy what we need.

But I believe that what really matters and give the delicious taste is not the way you cook.. it’s not what vegetables you use, ingredients.. or how much you leave it on fire.. etc. It’s what kind of spices you use. It’s very important to use the right spices for the right dish and with the right quantity. So much spices can ruin the whole thing.. some spices can be so strong and make you lose the taste of everything else.

All the recipes I got from my mom and mother in law had the arabic spices in them. It is an essential part of the arabic cooking I guess. And since Im not the so ‘meat/ chicken’ person.. I had to buy all the different spices to mix with them.

My favorite ones are the lemon pepper, which is used with the chicken and I just love how magical this thing is. And the other one is the HOT Cajun Seasoning.. this is unbelievable! I use it with anything and everything.. I put it on the chicken, eggs, meat, rice with curry, Quesadillas, and even with normal sandwiches.

So if you want the delicious taste, just Spice it Up!
