Cupcakes for Artists

by Gilian, in category Cupcakes, Food

I was planning to give these cupcakes to a friend who loves painting. It was his birthday, but the taste of the chocolate cupcake I made from scratch was a total fail. The after taste of the cupcake due to the baking soda overpowered the cupcake’s overall taste. I don’t usually add baking soda to… Read More

Meanwhile, where I am, it’s still summer. haha Β We only have summer and winter (winter is when temperature goes 16-12 degrees celsius–haha..and that’s just fall in other countries) here in Saudi Arabia and I’m beginning to miss my favorite season, fall. So… Read More

2006 Plane Diaries: The Strong Tree

by Gilian, in category Reflections, TRAVEL, Words

It was almost evening,Β the plane was full. Full of tired individuals wishing for a faster way to reach their destinations. The amazing blue, purple, pink, and green colors of dusk painted my window. I looked down and saw from afar some “bushes” or trees. They looked like bushes from the flying plane where I was… Read More

Singapore| Safari Zoo

by Gilian, in category Singapore 2014, TRAVEL, Wonders

When going to theΒ SingaporeΒ Zoo, one must be ready toΒ walk. It was a great challenge to finish the Zoo since we’ve never walked for more than 30 minutes for the past months/years. My eldest, Jacob was able to finish it. It was obvious that he was very tired, but he continued until he could see the… Read More

Singapore Flyer

by Gilian, in category Singapore 2014

(Not yet done bloggingΒ our Singapore trip. =) ) It was not my plan to rideΒ the Flyer. I’m a little afraid of heights. Plus, with two kids with us, I wasn’t really sure it would be a good idea, but my husband urged me to try it so I did (with the kids). My theology teacherΒ taught… Read More

Unpacking

by Gilian, in category Reflections, Thoughts

Of all the things I do for vacation, I find the unpacking part after a long vacation as the most dreadful part. Packing, goes 2nd. Removing all the clothes I’ve used, the things I bought, all the devices to be put in their proper places, etc. they mean everything will be back to the usual… Read More

Jellyfish have tiny stinging cells in their tentacles to stun or paralyze their prey before they eat them. Aside from vinegar, what are the other remedies for a jellyfish sting?

  • I used sambousa wrapper ( @sunbulahsocial ) to make siomai or Chinese dumpling. It worked! 😭😭 πŸ˜€πŸ˜€ We don’t have siomai wrapper here in Jeddah so I was just so happy that sambousa wrapper worked perfectly. πŸ™‚

The spring roll wrapper works as well, but you’ll have to consume everything fast or else the wrapper will harden eventually.
