https://vespotnica.wordpress.com/2011/02/26/harira

Sahara Sunset Soup | Vesna's voyages
https://vespotnica.wordpress.com/2011/02/21/sahara-sunset-soup
Where ever she is. I chose the name for this soup because it’s kind of the color of the sahara desert. Or what I imagine it might look like around sunset. The Bedouins may eat this with chicken or lamb, but this version is totally vegetarian. 2 potatoes, peeled and cut into wedges. 1-2 cans of white beans. 1/2 can of corn. 2 tomatos, diced. 2 garlic cloves, minced. 1 small onion, chopped. 1-2 carrots, chopped. 1 celery stalk, chopped. 1 tsp olive oil.

Vesna | Vesna's voyages
https://vespotnica.wordpress.com/author/persephoneves
Where ever she is. Is there a Perfect Coffee Shop in France? We’ve tried a small variety of coffee shops, striking off a few right away. The Strasbourg Café waitress overcharged and then got upset when called out. The one with the friendly Sicilian owner served up a cold watery brew. Everything in old town was too far away, and in my opinion over-priced. 1 Une Tradition Italienne. Across the train tracks on Rue Mon Désert, an apt name for a street that has three major bakeries at the first three cross-st...

Where ever she is. The Ultimate Comfort Drink. There is something about tea that puts me in a mild euphoria everytime.

Now that I’m married to a Muslim and drinking is no longer an option, I hold onto my teacup with an ever stronger zeal. I sometimes fancy myself a bit of a.

Nope, not a baker mame | Vesna's voyages
https://vespotnica.wordpress.com/2012/03/22/nope-not-a-baker-mame
Where ever she is. Nope, not a baker mame. What discourages me even more about baking is the unhealthiness of it all. I mean, why does there have to be so much white poisonous sugar and all that oozing melted butter ready to give you saggy armpits before you even have time to do weights. Anyway, here is the cake:. 2 cups whole wheat flour. 2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder. 1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon. 3/4 teaspoon fine grain sea salt. 3/4 cup finely chopped walnuts. 3 ripe bananas (1 1/4 cups), mashed well.
