All I can say is what a great horrible day!! First of all I wake up, and I still have no gas for my oven, so can't make any food, luckily I have a sandwhich maker, that I was able to make some eggs on for the kids. By 1:00pm the gas company finally came, and I was up and running again. U gotta remember I'm living in Egypt, I don't have a gas line, I have a tank, and have to wait for the gas company to make it's rounds everyday, so I can get my tank replaced. Anyways, I thought that I would take the kids out for a bit before I have to start making dinner. I'm thinking I will be home by 4:30 to prep for dinner, but with my luck, after I hit the grocery store, my car battery died!! So there is little old me, standing in the parking lot of the grocery store, with the jumper cables in my hands, not knowing how the heck to say...."can u give me a boost" in Arabic. Luckily this really nice guy came to my rescue, and even better than that, he spoke English...Phewwwww!! Mind you, I can get by in Arabic no prob, but some things like this were never taught to us in Arabic 101. Poor guy tried for like 15 minutes to jump start my mini van, and wouldn't work, b/c his battery was much smaller than mine. So there I sat again alone in the parking lot with the jumper cables in my hands, looking so pathetic, when this nice man with a huge van came along and was able to start my car for me.
By this time it is 6pm, kids are cranky, I get home, and all of us are starving.....so I decided to make some chicken roll ups, and 2 different kinds of rice, one plain for the kids, and the other one spicey for my hubby. Now ask Sarra, I am awesome at making rice, but for some reason today was not my day, I burnt the rice for the kids, and the spicey rice was not cooked right, even though i cooked it for so long, it tasted as though it was not done.....and the chicken roll ups were too spicey (but they were still really good).
I am not even going to post the recipe for anything I made tonight, b/c it was a complete FLOP!! But I am going to post the pics, b/c my oh sooooooo darling husband thinks he knows how to decorate, and took it upon himself to decorate his own plate, and insisted that I add it on this website, so he can show that he can decorate and take better pics than me! hahahahha. Ok gals so u tell me, who is better, my husband or me???

Do you want the truth Jeanette????? :)
Sorry J! But the rice in your husband's picture looks amazing...however, yours looks much more inviting to eat b/c I would not want to wreck the semi-circle in your husband's rice glacier! Oh yeah, and you left out some of the chicken on the right side of the picture (pic #2).
My favourite of all is the first picture. Well done, J! I love the skillet effect, very professional.
I guess that makes it a tie for me.
Haha Lol Raya. I gotta go with the husband's photo but both are nice! (duck)
Seriously the food looks good anyway. Sorry to hear about the rest of your day this way! Talk soon!

And I have done that many times before for him with other meals.......so he stole my idea!! the second pic sucks i know, but the chicken is in the middle of the rice....it looked way better than the pic.i have another pic i think, i will post it!

At least he gets involved with you... that's a good sign!
Oh Jujey,
I just noticed that your chicken is in the middle of the rice (like a bridge). The angle of the picture makes it look like its on the side (like your husbands). Great Job!!! I love it... I think you win...
