This past week has been one filled with excitement, both negative and positive. Now, let’s see, where shall I begin?
1. hubbie needs to go to emergency and is diagnosed with pneumonia!
2. the little man finished a two week Armenian dance camp and took part in the finale  performance, which was out of this world!
3. little lady and little man’s cousin came over from Ottawa for two weeks.
4. received a big stash of jewellery supplies, yay! can’t wait to create some new pieces but…
5. alas, work has been VERY busy and I haven’t had much time for creating… nor cooking…
However, yesterday I made one of my favourite summer salads, Tabbouleh, and if I may say so myself it turned out really great, as always ;o)
and to top it all, our good friends, Paolo and Natasha came over too feed us some fantastic pesto pasta, yum!
So, here’s the making of the Tabbouleh in stages…

Take a couple of bunches of parsley and chop, chop, chop…

I always add the bulgur wheat after I chop the parsley to allow it to moisten – you will need fine bulgur wheat… and then a couple of ripe tomatoes (you can increase the amount according to your liking), chop, chop, chop…

Then for some green onions, about three, chop, chop, chop… and then squeeze the juice of three lemons… and about 6 tablespoons of olive oil (I think I actually put more…)

and some salt to taste and mix and there you have it, a fabulous and scrumptious Tabbouleh salad… which I had yesterday with the Fasoulia (green bean dish) and rice that I made…

It was good to eat well after several days of not wanting to cook.
On another note, on an everyday basis, I am discovering wonderful creations and art through other blogs and I will share some of that with you in the next few days… as well as some of my own creations!
Leave me a note whenever and however you like, I would love to hear from you!
ciao
