cooking steak

today i came home early at around 6ish and felt like cooking something for lunch. lately i felt i was getting bored of the same old food routine, i usually have some snack from starbucks or whichever coffee shop near by in mid day then come home late and eat whatever has been cooked earlier in the day. so today before i left i called home and told them to get some steaks out of the freezer and prepare them for me. i like to cook from time to time although i dont get to do it that often bs when i do a7ib atfalsaf wajarib ashya mitnaw3a. today i took the steak and put on it some Dijon mustard and some sweet chili sauce and some other spices and let it marinate a bit, then i put some veggies, tomato, onions, green pepper and garlic on the frying pan. after that, i placed the steak on the veggies. so its like the whole time the steak was cooked on the veggie that was being cooked on the pan. i have no idea if that made any difference but it sure did look good. before it was done i put some rectangular cheese that i bought from sultan center of which i dont know the name of on the steak itself for about 2 minutes so it can melt into the steak. here are a few pics of the cooking:  

 

this is when i first put the steak on the veggies, if u can see some of the mustard and sweet chili on the steak which covered the level of veggies underneath.

this is a pic of the steaks halfway through, u can see its begining to take some color and some veggies appear under it.

this is what it looked like after it was done with the cheese on top. of coarse lazem bo6a6 and some Pepsi with the meal and what is next to the steak is some of the veggies that was underneath the steak that was cooking, which absorbed all the sweet chili and were very very spicy. overall this was better then i expected and it was a nice change from the usual daily meal. its also a bit more satisfying when u cook ur own meal from time to time. 

i guess this is another honesty tag thing, that i like to cook from time to time, and that i am a kind of person that lives to eat good food, even though lately i've been using an iphone application named "live strong" to help me lose weight, yeah can u imagine? a phone helping me lose wieght, wala tekniloojya. it does it by helping me keep track of what am eating. i just write what i ate and it says how many calories i have eaten and how much more i can afford to eat without compromising my 2 pounds a week weight lose target. its good because when u have something that lets u actually think about what ur eating it, well makes u think about what ur eating. so far i've been using it for 4 days and lost 1 kilo with some exercise. am doing this exercise which i found on utube called 300, its simple yet i found in less then a week that its very effective. 

so if u ever have some extra time on ur hand, cook, think about what ur eating, or just do some exercises that will make u feel better.

anyways, akhir post gilt ena bakamil the honesty tag o al7een 3indi one more for it, fa this is number 4:

this blog is my 5th blog ever since i started blogging about 5 years ago. i dont write simoultaneously la, i stop one blog for some reason or another and move on with another one. each blog was started for a different reason and if you read them all, you would think each blog was written by a different person. I used to write a lot in those older blogs because i think back then, i had a lot to say and, probably, more people to say it to. In this blog i got used to just blogging for no reason, sorta like this is a blog about nothing. But am hoping this would change. I lost all my passwords for my older blogs and its a shame because, there is one blog in particular that i wish i could go back to and write in, even if it were for one last time. 

Be to her virtues very kind. Be to her faults a little blind.

Finally the weekend is here. Not since I was in high school did I anticipate the weekend as much as I look forwards to it now. Work is HELL to say the least. Last week was my first solo assignment and I have to admit the pressure and the work load is getting to me. I feel like I dont even have time to think! All this week I've been trying to do the honesty tag, the one that dee tagged me, bs every time I start I type a title and maybe a half a sentence and then blank, nothing. I lost count how many times this has happened to me lately. But since its the weekend, am gonna give it one last try o ele e9eeer e9eer:

1) blank

2) nothing

3) oh  two days ago while i was at work i suddenly lost sight from my left eye, my peripheral vision was completely gone. I couldn't see a single freaking thing. I tried blinking faster and more rapidly, didnt help, i tried rubbing it with my finger, didnt get better, i went to the bathroom and washed it but nothing changed. 5 minutes later it was still the same. Another five minutes and i began to really get scared. I tried to ignore it and pretend it was nothing and just go on and let it pass. Then i remember i had eye surgery about a year ago and thought to myself hey, does this have anything to do with it? Another 10 minutes later and slowly but surely my sight came back to me, but a torturing headache began and lasted for 2 days. Later i found out from google and a friend that it was a migraine that caused my temporary one eyed blindness. I dont know if i should be relieved or worried. I mean i should be relieved that it was only a migraine but should i be worried that this has the potential to occur again and again? My comfort for now is that the headache is gone and my vision is 20/20 el7imdila. And i guess thats good enough. 

This is the longest post i've written in a long time. I got used to writing very short posts or sometimes posting without writing anything at all that i think i lost my ability to find words to express what i felt. This thought kinda leads me to my next honesty thing, but i think am gonna leave that one to be written for another day cause now this is all i have energy to write about.
