tortellini ala ranyah

I used to watch TOUPIE et BINOU with raoul and louma (my siss kids that i miss so much). Toupie happens to be the most creative character, he can create nonsensical things from his pure imagination. He plays, talks and laugh most of the time. Spaghetti ala tooouuupie was one of his creative dishes, unbelievably inspirational, tortellini ala ranyah was born: bring a large pot of water to a boil, add the tortellini for 5 mn, drain them, place the olive oil, some sun dried tomatoes and black olives in a skillet, then add tortellini, sparkle with oregano and herbes de provence. mmmyummy that is so delicious. Lamloum Rawlini this is for you. Sahtein

DENIM vase

Me and the wild flowers, it's a love story that started since the 80's. Mom used to take me to the aintoura hill (korne) for the afternoon snack with grace and tante mela. We used to run, pick wild thyme for 3ejje (omelette), anemone, cyclamen, marguerite et coquelicot (i don't know the flowers name in english sorry), eat dabke (lebanese biscuit).
Life was simple at that time.
This vase is a tribute to GRACE :)
