FREE Love & Dating Tips, Advice, Recipes and more...
Here is a quick list of what I have written in the past 2 to 3 days. Sadly I was ignorant enough to not retrieve my articles from eHow so now, they are Lost (Wah!) and Associated Content does not exist solo any longer so I swapped my articles around a little...Here goes!
Meatball & Potato Recipe- I just had to Publish this, didn't believe I could make these or the pancakes, or the Egg-fried rice or the Papri or the ....what ever!
Aloo Channa Chaat Recipe: Another favorite and foolproof Yummy item!
Strengthen Your Love and Relationship- Picked up from my Associated content site and republished to Triond since yahoo network associates have taken over and they DO NOT PAY international, Pity!
Innovation in the Kitchen- I had this article lying around in my hard drive from a proposal I sent out to a Publisher once upon a time, Just personalized it a bit, all about Recipe Cards, so have a read!

Parcel Tracking, Deal of the Day
Parcel from doting mother in London, the good, bad and ugly of cooking and never-ending baby responsibilities....Here it is!
Sam received a belated Christmas present from her Grandmother in Oxford shire, surely there were quickly scribbled notes on her card and envelope, pointing out the reasons for delays but never the same, I am grateful and eager to try all garments on my baby. Luckily the clothes are bigger in size which makes planning and shopping for Sam a little inexpensive. She outgrows her clothes so soon, oh boy, my little ballerina is already chubby and round.
New Kmart Deal of the Day - new offer daily!
My sister came to deliver the parcel along-with a good friend of hers and after a coffee break together, we ended up chatting about our celebrity, Sam, Sam & Sam. She loved Sams half done-up nursery and I just whined partly because that is another errand in my incomplete list of to-do tasks. Her friend Komal liked the house and the picture frames and the wall paintings and after whining about how she has to burned her wallet every time she'd go hunting for some, I suggested her my regular shopping marts whereas dearest sister offered to take her along on her next shopping spree. My moto; Why buy expensive stuff when its breakable and damageable. For usable and meagre stuff needed around the house, I go for the bargain offers in mediocre neighborhoods almost always end up with a humungous bags of decorum for under $50.
Papa wasn't too thrilled about the parcel but got him interested anyways, still have to display the content in front of him though. The busy body has loads of work lined up at his office for this week, he comes home real tired and to top it off there is still some post-editing stuff left from his friends music video....Urgh, Money does come in the hard way these days, its 90% work and 60% profit and 0% free time!
I made meatballs from scratch for my Meatball and Potatoes dish with egg fried rice and they turned out Yummy but the mix beans recipe failed. Still not the one to give up so easily, I learned how to make Papri, a Salty and savory Indian Appetizer and Pancakes Alas! I should compile a notebook of recipes but then again my incomplete organizer is suffering the affects of a busy mom loaded with household errands, baby feeding and diaper changes, dinners to serve, friends (and husbands clients) to entertain while having a huge smile across my face.

New Home...
….Looks and feels like a chalet. A huge green garden fit enough for a modest picnic or sheesha evening with friends is just a block away. Took Sam for a stroll the first few days and found a convenience store across the street including the barbers, lots of groceries, a bakery, a rent a car, a garments boutique, an internet cafe and a ladies parlor just a stone throw away....
New Kmart Deal of the Day - new offer daily!
Past few days haven't been very happening. After new years, it was like a cold storm swept our home except for Sam of course who entertained us with her babbling baby talk and her 'Ama' when she wants her feed. We tried mashed potatoes and apple sauce with her but the hungry baby is now teething and ready to stuff anything in her mouth expect Food. Her dads been trying to make her say papa but instead she just coos at him and gives her flashy gum smile, too cute a princess for this castle maybe.
Papa on the other hand has been busy with video shooting for a couple of days. The artist sucks big time but as long as the dough is good, he couldn't care less....Production and Post- production occupations really drain a person out but they do get those creative juices flowing!
30 minute meals and fast food burgers, pasta and sandwiches are our thing these days. Just a couple of days back we picked some groceries from Hyperpanda, festival city and there was a promotion on EVERYTHING, wish i had visited this place ealier. Funny, how burdubai, deira, garhoud, ghusais, everything seems so close to International City. Dubai Mall remains my favorite mall after festival city of course, I really like the serenading pavilion there, even took Sam there on the weekend but she didn't really enjoy the windy breeze, instead she wanted a cuddle and her beauty nap, hate to keep her up but mama does need to chill sometimes....

Cat Homes
Chloe & Sparky in their New Home
Chloe and Sparky are enjoying the new balcony and I let them out during the day.
Chloe has managed to attract a huge number of boyfriends whereas over protective Sparky is busy these days marking his territory around our block.
Chloe's favorite hiding spot is high above on the kitchen cupboards and Sparky has clearly learned his way around after getting lost twice in our residential cluster of blocks. He has visibly shed his chubby fat and can now climb curtains courtesy Chloe Madame and incase you are wondering Chloe is the orange and white puss whereas Sparky is the grey and white 'Tom like' Tabby!
Chloe is Pregnant & unfortunately I can't celebrate her pregnancy since we have a baby in the house, I should have gotten her spayed a long long time ago and to make matters worse resolving the issue now with the help of some vets in international city could cost us nothing less than 700 to 800 dirhams...Big Ouch factor!

Holidays Season
The Christmas Get-together 2011
Feverishly excited, we awoke at noon and headed straight to spinneys, careffour and lulu supermarkets to shop for starters and appetizers for the expected evening crowd of friends and well-wishers. We planned a modest get-together of friends and were planning to let go of ourselves for a while.
After reaching home, Hubby did the remaining drilling work for pictures, lanterns and frames while I quickly prepared some Aloo Channa Chaat, Mortadella Chicken and Beef sandwiches, deviled eggs and vegetarian Pasta.
After cooking we cleared up the house and I was still not dressed for the evening when the first couple arrived, luckily they were hubby dearest close buddy from high school and his Russian girlfriend and co-worker who made themselves at home and prepared their drinks while me and Sam got dressed for the evening. Soon my friends arrived and so did my sisters, sheesha was made and drinks handed out, appetizers set on platters and music played on the heavy speakers. 
My new home was every guests envy and all in all people shared memories, experiences and cozy corners while we all including my dearest Sam who was dressed to kill seemed to be having a gay time between hunger feeds and bottled formula feeds.
