Comfort food fixes everything

 Assalamu aleikum wa rahmatullah :) what's up?


I had some second thoughts about yesterday's post.. maybe I went a bit too personal, in a way it's good to talk about things but on the other hand I wish you to know that this is only my blog, it's not my whole life. I like to share personal matters because I want to give peer support and it might benefit someone, but I don't necessarily share things in such deep level I feel uncomfortable. I have the responsibility, and also the dear reader too :) to understand there's always more than what meets the eye, in good and bad.

Anyways, if you want to treat your significant other with a nice dinner, you can try my pasta bolognese recipe. This is not an authentic Italian recipe, this is how I like to do it. There's as many recipes as there are chefs :)


You need (for 2-4 people)


- vegetable oil 

- 300g ground beef

- salt

- black pepper

- paprika powder

- cayenne pepper

- dried thyme

- fresh parsley

- 1 onion

- 3 big gloves of garlic

- canned crushed tomatoes

- half can of water

- tomato puree

- apple cider vinegar

- honey

- olive oil


Ingredients appear on the list in adding order. 

So, first fry the ground beef in small amount of vegetable oil. When the beef is cooked, add spices, mix them in and add then finely chopped onion and garlic. Fry for few minutes and add the crushed tomatoes, water and tomato puree. Mix again, let it boil some minutes on low heat. Add vinegar and honey and mix well. Lastly drizzle some olive oil on top. Let simmer. Serve with pasta of your choice. Yum!

I also got a beautiful bag today, alhamdulillah. I've been a bit active buying from Vinted, but now I try to not buy things for myself but rather save up some money. But isn't it cute?? :)

 


 


Hmm.. maybe that's it for today.. I hope you have a good day :) Until next time,


Aisha

Good to see you

 Assalamu aleikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh dears :) how are you doing? It's the endless promising that I will write more often.. I don't know why it is like this. But I'm really happy to see that you, dear readers, come back even though my lack of consistency. I can only promise to try to be better ;) I have been a little sick and even now I'm having some migraine symptoms. I've been in flu and had sore throat. Usually I'm physically healthy so this has stressed me out a bit. But alhamdulillah, getting better just in time for Ramadan. :) ... So yes. I have some news.. I got married ♡♡ I'm happy and it feels easy. We are still a bit strangers, we got married fast, so it's a bit of a learning process still. My husband is very sweet and takes care of me. It's the small things, he helps at home, always brings something when he comes (we are not living together yet), and gives compliments and intimacy. Alhamdulillah. Everyone have their misdeeds and m...

Hello hello!

 Assalamu aleikum everyone! 😊❤ How are you doing? It feels great to start over. For those who don't know, I used to write a blog with the same title, "Cup of tea with Aisha", for around five years until I decided to demolish the whole thing. 😌 And it felt good. It was one part of my journey, finding myself and healing, and also about all the stumbling along the way. But now that part, is a part of the past. I'm still on that same journey, but on another level - a lot has happened and changed. So this is it, same me but maybe a different perspective.. I hope that with sharing my thoughts and insights, you may find yourself not feeling alone with yours. ❤ in sha Allah. ... In my profile, I tell I write about daily life, food, beauty, travel, islam, mental health and relationships. So, for an introduction, here's a brief 411 of these subjects in my life.. Daily life Right now, my daily life is very simple. In Finland everyone starts by asking about work or school, ...

Night time thoughts

-
 Assalamu aleikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh. How are you? I am stressing about some personal issues, so can't sleep. So, I'm making a cup of coffee, planning to stay up all night. And go market in the morning. I have the luxury to take a nap later, so staying up tonight is not a problem. This happens for me sometimes, I just have to stay awake all night. Night is good time for writing, as I feel a bit more creative. The vibe is different and the stimulation of outside world has shut down. ... What would I write then? I want to write about Palestine, I want to write about Sudan, Congo.. Afghanistan. Kashmir, Uighur muslims, Rohingya sisters and brothers.. Yemen, Syria. And more, that I know or don't, yet. The world is burning because of Western democracy, which means white supremacy and colonization. Certain countries supporting each other in this atrocity. Even Finland, a nordic, "real democracy", the "happiest country in the world", is delivering gun...
