Garden accessories

I love them all, they add an accent to your style.
I think Adding the right decor to your garden allows your personality and style to shine as brightly as the carefully chosen accessories for a speciall night dress.

Not the best ever but the first ever Bagels!


Yes,my first bagels making experience,I have never baked them before,I just passed the recipes and thought what a strange long works,boiling breads before making them!!!!!
But this week I tried and I loved them.
They are a little chewy but tasty with marjoram, dried dill weed,tarragon and a little garlic powder.and some of them with onion over tops.
We ate them with this chicken skewers.
20 short wooden skewers
4tbsp thin-cut orange marmalade
1tbsp chopped thyme
8 skinned chicken breasts,cut into 4cm cubes
18 fresh bay leaves
salt and freshly ground black pepper
You knew you have to soak skewers and bay leaves in cold water for at least 30 min.
Put chicken in a bowl,stir in marmalade and thyme.Thread chicken piece onto each skewer,with a bay leaf between.
Preheat the grill to high,season the skewers with salt and paper and grill for 12-15 min turning halfway through,Sever with mash potatoes .
Hope you like it;)

Let's celebrate spring

Show & Tell:


Let's show you my spring garden.

Thanks Kelly for her hosting...


Spring is a time when gardeners need no encouragement.

plump buds and birdsong to stir the imagination.


The great advantage of gardening in containers is that,like furnitures,

containers can be moved around to create a new look, with pride of place

given to those plants that are performing best.

Like my pink rose.


,

To own a bit of ground to scratch it with a hoe,to plant seeds,and watch their renewal of life this is the commonest delight of the race,the most satisfactory things a man can do.
Charles Dudly Warner

From my little cute book of Garden Lovers.

A day for making Dolma or Dolmeh!


My mother in law called us to help her in making Dolmeh!(grape leave rolls)
It's Turkish, Arabic or even Persian food.
It's really strange but really really delicious!!strange, because of eating leaves!have you ever eaten leaves?
It's kind of sour & sweet food,it's yummy!I love it.
The most important ingredient of this food is grape leaves, without grape leaves you
can't make it for sure we used fresh ones,the new born, spring leaves .Spring is season of dolma!
We were talking about ingredients,yes!I have no idea about thatI have never made the filling, I just rolled it.let's look at the picture .I can see the rices,minced meat,split peas and the green ones, parsley

My confession!

I swear to tell the truth, the whole truth, nothing but the truth
I'm not a blogger girl!!! I admitted to myself today!
A real blogger writes everyday , search for subjects,in one word, she works on her page.
When I started this blog I was sure I'll do all these , I love this entire place, people around it, their natures and their arts, I make stories in mind for my blogeer friends, memories and stories that never have been written!
I am either lazy or busy (or both), I have to make this clear for myself
It should be the language, English is not my mother tongue. But my father , no, not even of my father.I swore!
Anyhow nice to meet you all,I miss you It's really true
