popping popcorn

so after a busy morning between taking kids to school and then having to go back after just an hour so so as they are doing exams and once finished they are let out for the rest of the day


then the house needs to be clean ... so everybody had something to do ..... and in order to get this done telly must be off and not switched on till everything is done ....at this time lunch must be made and then clean up after this ... so you can see it is a busy morning ... so what do we do in the after noon well i like to relax a little if i can and today is a rainy day so what better than to make popcorn




so out comes the pot and this is the first time i have thought my girls to make it ....all you need id the popcorn seeds and butter ... oil... and salt ...... and place on the heat ... until it starts to pop half way through turn the heat down a littl so as to not burn the bottom of the pan .... and their you have it a big bowl of popcorn to sit down with and watch a little telly before having to get up and make dinner

French Laof

Asalam wa alikum So as you know i`m not really one for baking ... but when a good recipe comes my way i must tell you about it I have had this recipe for a while and never got around to trying it so as i was making my muffin bread i thought let me try this one ... Its a french loaf and so simple and easy 2 cups of water (warm) 2 tbsp sugar 2 tbsp of yeast instant 2 tbsp of salt ... i felt it was a bit too much so i reduced it to 1 2 tbsp of oil (veg) 5 cups of flour mix well and knead dough then allow to rise punch back the dough then place on a tray allow to rise again and place in a hot oven it takes about 20 mins or so and masha`allah what a lovely bread we toasted it and had butter and jam for breakfeast enjoy and let me know how it works out
