The lovely Zulekha sent me these beautifully illustrated postcards. Each one of them were illustrated and designed by her.

The illustrations reminds me of something delicate yet harsh, like something that was so soft and romantic but has been distorted through time, swallowed by sorrow, aged by worry, but it still has some of its beauty left, keeping it alive. I know I'm describing them like these cards have lives, but I must admit they are so beautifully illustrated, that they might as well come to live.

That is why I used the dead hydrogen & rose flowers to compliment the postcards…both flowers still beautiful, but its obvious that there is no live in them, and some of their beauty faded through time. I like the atmosphere of it all

Zulekha's illustration are unique, have an edge and are a breath of fresh air. For more of her great illustrations, check out her pages:

Roasted Vegetables, Sausage, Mash Potato & December Boys 


December boys is an indie film, not something mainstream or for the mass audience…It's small, cosy and heart warming. It's about an orphanage in Australia and about four orphan boys who go on an adventure together.

Once again, Daniel Radcliffe plays an orphan…When I heard of the title, I assumed the film to be based around winter, hence me preparing a warm winter meal. However, December in Australia is summer…so yeah, didn't get this one right.

I recommend you to watch this film, it's pretty good and I actually loved it. There is something warm and loving about the boys relationships and how they stick together. The end in particular made me somewhat sad but happy at the same time. 

As for the dish I've prepared…easy, the pictures explain it all and I am sorry to write this, but I've been busy to be writing down every step etc. Am I turning into a lazy blogger? No, I am turning into a dragon lady who has barely time for much, let alone blogging. But not to worry, the last Film & Food  blog post will be a feast! 

I usually put cheese and Philadelphia cream cheese in my mash potato. Also, instead of water I use milk…I like it thick and creamy! Give it a try and hopefully you'll love it as much as I do!

 Mash potato is easily done, really don't have to describe do I?

 Use any of your favourite vegetables, cut them into chunky pieces, marinate them with olive oil, sea salt, lemon (or lime in this case) and let it all soak in for few minutes (10-15mins).






Once that's done, simply place it in the oven and let it roast until 'golden'…the cliched phrase all cooks use!

I prefer the sausage boiled in water, much healthier and less greasy! 


Have it with any desired drink…I have a pepsi with lime ha!


Bread or toast, either way, have something to complete the dish. Not to forget gravy! I didn't make my own gravy…Didn't have the right ingredients to make my own gravy, so I used the ready made ones, where you mix it with hot water.

I can't apologise enough for how long it has taken me to upload pictures of the Street Style photo sessions with Alessia months ago…literally two months ago. Thing's have been crazy busy and it's getting busier by day!

Anyhow, there was two days of street style photography happening; the first one was at Oxford Circus,with tons of girls turning up not only to be snapped by Alessia, but to also meet Dina. It was nice seeing and meeting so many diverse Muslimahs.

The second session was in Holland Park at the Orangery gardens. This one was rather small and cosy, and initially it was supposed to be just Alessia and I, but I invited few more girls :)

This has to be done! Please I'd like you to all think of those who are less fortunate than yes, those who stay up at night to survive, those who live in fear of losing their loved ones and losing their lives, for those who have been suffering from the day they were born! For GAZA!

Pray for Gaza! Do your part and donate now! Our Brothers & Sisters in Gaza need our help, always, and now more than ever!

You can donate as much as you want and as little as you can afford! Every penny counts and every prayer will be heard inshallah!
