Banoffe Cheesecake
Got this recipe from this link
http://i-gourmet.blogspot.com/2007/04/banoffee-cheesecake.html
asked the cook to do it (I am not going to say I did it, cuz I just ate it LOOL) and it turned out amaziiiiing and I am drooling now ... anyways taste wise it was really good but he needs to work on presentation.. anyways here is the recipe hope you try it.
Arrange the sliced bananas on top of the biscuit base, then pour cheese mixture onto the bananas/biscuit base, then put in refrigerator for at least 3 hours or overnight. Drizzle the dulce de leche on top of the cake.
Note: For the dulce de leche, you can buy the ready ones or make them yourself by using one can of sweetened condensed milk. All you need to do is remove the label from the can of condensed milk. Put the can into a pot, and fill up the pot with water until it covers the top of the can. Put the pot on a stove and turn up the heat. Let the pot and can simmer gently for about one and a half to two hours for runny dulce de leche, or up to four hours for solid dulce de leche. Add more water, as necessary, when the level boils down too much. When it's done, let it cool for a while, and then carefully open up the can completely. The resulting product should be colored tan or brown. (as seen on the photo)

Fashion Faux Pas
Dear fashionistas and I say this with a smile (venom teeth is more like it) ... transparent bras are NOT transparent ... they kill your look... how many times have I seen either a tailored or designer gown that are actually pretty but come to the shoulder and there it is the magical TRANSPARENT STRAP showing ... my god such an eye soar... I mean do I have bionic vision or are you ignorant of the fact that they are actaully untransparent!
Solution invest in key pieces such as this bustier works will with the heavy and none heavy top
Food for thought!
I think one of the few amazing jobs in the world is being a food critic...I mean imagine your job is to eat ... how cool is that! I was at City Center and started craving pasta felt like having Ravioli with stuffed mushrooms and thought of checking Biela no one was there and haven't heard any reviews so I thought of trying it out ... result .. ahmmm ok not something I would go again too .. figured buying the ready made pasta from a grocery store and adding the sauce would be tastier .. but then again I can't judge on one dish .. so for those of you who have been there any dishes that you can recommend?
I liked was the oil and vinegar bottle pretty cool

QTEL CORPORATE CAMPAIGN
This is an excellent ad campaign! Way to go Qatar! I love those two little boys, they bring a smile on my face everytime I watch them on tv... So far i've watched the su7oor one and the girga3an ( which I can't find online, which they take a basket of goodies to the orphanage) commercial .
"Share the spirit of Ramadan with Ramadan and Mubarak, the two lovable, young Qatari brothers who serve as our guides on a journey of good deeds and thoughts throughout this month.
These two little boys understand the importance of togetherness, compassion and generosity, especially during the Holy Month. Today they seek to use those values to enrich the lives of those around them.
These two adorable characters, celebrating both traditional and contemporary elements of Qatari culture, will be promoting togetherness, compassion and generosity, the escapades of Ramadan and Mubarak will fuel our senses with Ramadan moments and heartfelt messages that speak to the values and significance of Ramadan in all of our lives.
We hope you enjoy the journey of Ramadan and Mubarak in the days to come as their adventures unfold in print, on TV, and on our web site.
Share moments of togetherness with Ramadan and Mubarak"- Qtel Website http://www.qtel.qa/CorporateCampaigns.do
What's the so7oor video about;
"Our grandfather has told us many stories about the old traditions of Ramadan, our favourite is the Mesahar. Banging his drum, the Mesahar would walk the streets calling the people to wake for Suhoor. Little did grandfather know, but we had a plan revive this lost tradition…and it worked better than we ever expected with a little help from the Moqanaa. We can all share a moment of togetherness this Ramadan."-Qtel Website http://www.qtel.qa/CorporateCampaigns.do
