Nikita

Hey Nikita is it cold
In your little corner of the world
You could roll around the globe
And never find a warmer soul to know

Oh I saw you by the wall
Ten of your tin soldiers in a row
With eyes that looked like ice on fire
The human heart a captive in the snow

Oh Nikita You will never know anything about my home
I'll never know how good it feels to hold you
Nikita I need you so
Oh Nikita is the other side of any given line in time
Counting ten tin soldiers in a row
Oh no, Nikita you'll never know

Do you ever dream of me
Do you ever see the letters that I write
When you look up through the wire
Nikita do you count the stars at night

And if there comes a time
Guns and gates no longer hold you in
And if you're free to make a choice
Just look towards the west and find a friend

'Gold'en Era

Gold? it's very expensive..

well, that was 15 years back

I couldn't afford to buy gold, not even a slightest gram

Than 5 years ago, someone told me to buy gold again

It's still expensive, so guys' tell me when actually gold is cheap

or at least price I could afford.

than i figured, gold will never be as cheap as i want it to be

i decided to purchase some last year

it's not cheap but hey.. i could afford it

that's my story of buying gold

It's never too late to buy and save.

So let's start buying gold.

p.s I'm not the seller hehehe

Where Do I Begin?

I love Monday

It's a beginning of a new week

I love Spring

It's a beginning of a new season

I love January

It's beginning of a new year

I just like the beginning

Tho not quite sure how it will end

but I'll keep my faith and moving on

To another new beginning.

Used to be so easy to give my heart away
But I found out the hard way
There's a price you have to pay
I found out that love, was no friend of mine
I should have known time after time

So long, it was so long ago
But I've still got the blues for you

Used to be so easy to fall in love again
But I found out the hard way
It's a road that leads to pain
I found that love, was more than just a game
You're playin' to win, but you lose just the same

So long, it was so long ago
But I've still got the blues for you

So many years, since I've seen your face
But here in my heart, there's an empty space
Where you used to be

So long, it was so long ago
But I've still got the blues for you

Though the days come and go
There is one thing I know
I've still got the blues for you

Well.. still got the blues for U..

R.I.P Gary Moore.

Today's Lunch- Maqluba

Maqluba

Is a Palestinian rice, best serve with beef or lamb.. dip with sour sauce " air asam".

It's not a secret recipe..

• Olive oil -- 1/4 cup
• Eggplant, sliced into 1/4-inch rounds -- 1 ( you can add cauliflower)
• Onion / shallot , minced -- 1
• Ground lamb or beef -- 1 pound
• Allspice -- 1 teaspoon
• Cinnamon -- 1/2 teaspoon
• Nutmeg -- big pinch
• Salt and pepper -- to taste
• Tomato, sliced into 1/4-inch rounds -- 1
• Water or stock, well seasoned with salt -- 2 cups
• Rice, soaked 1/2 hour in water to cover -- 1 1/2 cups

Method

1. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Sauté the eggplant slices on each side to lightly brown. Remove to a plate.
2. Add more oil to the skillet if needed and sauté the onions until translucent. Add the ground lamb or beef, allspice, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt and pepper and sauté, breaking up the meat, until cooked through. Season with salt and pepper and drain off excess oil.
3. Grease a 3-quart heavy bottomed saucepan well with olive oil, butter, lard or shortening. Drain the rice. Lay the tomato slices to cover the bottom of the saucepan. Sprinkle about 1/2 cup of the rice over the tomatoes. Spoon the meat mixture over the rice. Lay the eggplant slices to cover the meat and press down well to compact all the ingredients. Add the rest of the rice and the seasoned water or stock.
4. Bring to a boil over medium-high flame, then quickly reduce heat to low, cover tightly and simmer for 45-50 minutes. Toward the end of the cooking time, check to see if more water needs to be added.
5. Remove from heat and let rest for 15 minutes. Remove lid and invert a serving platter over the saucepan. Turn upside-down and carefully slip the saucepan off the rice. Serve hot.
