Song of the day


Odd Encounters Vol.3

I accompanied a friend to International Clinic super early in the morning the other day. We were in the pharmacy where my friend was getting her prescription, where I noticed a tiny pink package "Good Feeling Pill". I asked my friend if she knew what it was and she shrugged and we laughed and what it could be..........
Wait its gonna get better, my friend then holds the pink mysterious package in the pharmacist's face and asks him what these pills are used for? I noticed he quickly looked to the floor, and smiled uncomfortably, while we kept questioning him what these magic pink wonder pills do. He finally cleared his throat, and goes "This pill is for the vagina". I froze right there, turned to my friend and say "I am going to cringe, let's leave, RIGHT NOW".

How does this pill work? You pop one and your little lady is in Cabo? Has anyone heard of this pill? Anyone in the medical field know about this pill? Anyone currently using this pill and want to share their experience? I am so curious.

Shite List

1. The rude staff at Pinkberry Kidzania........no madam you have to stand at the other counter to get a sample of this flavor......shove it.

2. My current obsession of drawing eyeliner every morning......flick and all.

3. Downing my green juice in the morning, followed by a plate of fries for lunch.......disaster.

Wha???!!!???

There always comes a time in ones life where you have a conversation with someone and they make a comment so odd that you wonder is it an insult wrapped in a compliment? If you dig deep enough was there ever a compliment? Was it the language barrier?

The following conversation happened recently:

After a fun fulled day on a boat, my friend whatapps the host the next day to thank her.


Friend: Thank you so much for yesterday it was great fun
Host: You are most welcome
Friend: Your sister and yourself are mashallah very fit and athletic
Host: Thank you, you have body like bimbo too!


Anyone have a funny story to share?

Mashed Potato Balls

This idea came to me a while ago, and I finally executed it with flying colors. The mashed potato formula is an old family favorite my mother wipes up all the time. I just jazzed it up using panko, homemade breadcrumbs and eggs. Delicious as a light snack and oh so good with hot sauce! If anyone does make this, please let me know your thoughts.






Recipe:

2 potato's peeled
1 onion cut half moon
Small handful chopped parsley and tarragon
2 tablespoons of butter
1 green chili chopped finely
Salt and pepper to taste
1 egg beaten
1 cup panko
1/2 cup breadcrumbs

Method:

Cook the potato under tender, fry the onion until golden brown and drain on kitchen towel. Mash the potato with a ricer. In a frying pan heat the butter and add the potato, chili, onion and season with salt and pepper. Lightly stir for 5 min until the potato turns into a golden brown color, set aside. Assemble the eggs, panko mixed with breadcrumbs, parsley and tarragon in separate bowls. Make the potato mixture into golf size balls and dip into the eggs and panko/breacrumbs/herbs and shallow fry until golden. Serve warm.




Brilliant Idea

We are all guilty of using our phones when we are not meant too, while sitting with friends, behind the car, first thing when we wake up, while we eat (the dirty looks I get from my mom are priceless), I should stop.

Enter the Salve Jorge Bar in Sao Paulo Brazil, where they have introduced the offline glass to help focus on their friends, rather then their phones. Here is how it works, when you order your drink, the only way the glass will stand up straight is if you rest it on your phone. Hands free for a couple may seem scary, but I just love the idea!!

Eye Candy

I wear makeup everyday, I find it a necessity and to be honest, l look like crap without it. I am also quite religious about removing it every night. I have bought and tried every eye makeup remover, wipe, oil under the sun and was always left unsatisfied until I discovered Bioderma's Sensibio. It's soothing, non irritating and really does remove every ounce of makeup you have piled on. Soak on cotton pads and leave it to rest on your eyes for a good 10-15 seconds and gently wipe away. Available at Boots.

Has anyone tried this bad boy out? Thoughts? Please share.

Shite List

1. The fact that I took a two hour nap today..........it's 2:21 am and I can't sleep.

2. Ribs and Dumps...............I will never eat there again.......vile just vile.

3. The selfish cow outside Harvey Nichols valet......making the valet guy stand in the scorching heat for over 15 minutes while she chatted on the phone inside her car, applied lipstick and fixed her hair........speechless.

4. The fossil that screamed at me this week in Al-Razi hospital, preaching that it's haram to show off my arms........don't be a hater.


Anger to share? Anyone?
