I have been presented with another award by the Chef in Disguise blog. She has the most amazing blog with fabulous photos and recipes which are such a great reflection of who she is and her Jordanian culture. Have a look at her blog. You won’t regret it.
To honour her, I have made one of her recipes – Spice tea “Chai” concentrate. You can find the recipe here on her blog. It really is one of the nicest teas I have tried in a long time.
The rule for accepting the award is to share something about yourself.
- What is a real fear you have? Losing my health or my mind.
- As a kid, what did you want to be when you grew up? A nun after watching The Sound of Music. That or a helicopter pilot.
- What are some of your hobbies? Cooking, blogging, reading but above all else travelling.
- What hobby would you like to start? I would love to learn how to sing in a way that stops people running screaming from the room.
- If you could tell people anything, what would be the most important thing to say? Don’t look back and second guess your choices. The choice you made at that time in your life was the right one considering the life experience you had at that moment. Looking back with the knowledge you have now and wishing you had done something different is not valid.
- Name one item from your “bucket list”? Parachute jump – in tandem, of course. I’m not crazy.
- What’s the best prank you’ve pulled off? Boring, I know, but I don’t pull pranks on people. A prank inevitably embarrasses someone and that’s not my style.
- What book are you planning on reading next? Julia Child’s My Life in France.
- Coffee or Tea? Tea, can’t stand coffee – unless it’s in a cake.
- Lemon Torte or Chocolate Cheesecake? Lemon torte. I love chocolate but usually choose a non-chocolate item for dessert – go figure.
Thank you very much for trying my tea recipe, I am glad you enjoyed it 🙂
Beautiful picture as always
Thanks, Sawsan. My husband is enjoying it too. I will have to make some more soon.
Suzanne
Congrats on your award. I agree with you – Sawson has an amazing blog. I still can’t believe that circus train cake she made – amazing. Can’t believe you wanted to be a nun. I wanted to be the 7th member of the Brady Bunch xx
Now your desire was a little more logical than mine – to be a nun.
Suzanne
Congratulations on your well deserved award…you really do have a beautiful blog.
You are so kind. Thank you.
Suzanne
Congrats on the award! That tea looks divine!
Thanks, Laura. The tea is worth trying.
Suzanne
Oh, nice recipe – I really enjoyed reading it on Sawsan’s blog, and again here. I’ve got to try it. And congrats on the award – well deserved.
Thank you. Sawsan’s photos were so inviting I just had to try it.
Suzanne
Congratulations on the well-deserved reward. Love Sawsan’s post [and especially her travel pics!] and have already made her chai – loved that too! From the dim distant past I seem to remember a nun on a motorbike, but helicopter: hmm!!! I just knew I would be a female Frank Lloyd Wright [yes, well!] or a female Christian Dior; love coffeee; hate cake and fully agree with the ‘dont’ look back’ principle! ‘Yesterday is a cancelled cheque, tomorrow a promissory note, it is the today which counts’ . . . Well, within sensible limits 🙂 !
Thanks, Eha. Her tea was really good. We have finished it already. Good to learn a little more about you – not an architect then? My husband doesn’t really like cake either. Strange people.
Suzanne
From the strange one across the Tasman! : Suzanne – what six years of Medicine [that story is still being talked about at Sydney Uni – yep, I did finish but was doing ‘other’ things by then], two years of Economics and two years of Arts + all my current studies make me only a psychologist could possible disentangle and i really don’t need him/her to 🙂 ! Typical Gemini behaviour, perchance – or – carpe diem!!!
Wow, that is some collection of studies! So what do you do with your days now?
Suzanne
Hi Suzanne,
Congrats on your award. It’s always great learning more about the person behind the blog. Your advice about not looking back is beautiful. Thanks I really enjoyed readying all of your answers:)
Nancy, I do try to take my own advice, not always with success, mind you.
Suzanne
Congratulations on your award! This is my first visit and I can definitely see why you were awarded this. You do have a beautiful blog!!!!
Thanks so much. You have a pretty blog yourself.
Suzanne
