Ristorante Michelangelo asswipe June 30, 2007

As I took my son to the hairdresser the other day we passed by a restaurant here in Karlskrona called Michelangelo. They have some black lanterns outside with sharp edges and as my son walked by he hit is forehead on one of the edges. A deep cut immediately appeared and he looked dizzy to say the least. We went into the hairdressers and explained what happened and she went and got a plaster for him and handed it to me. She then shouted something to someone outside (turns out it was the guy next door she spoke to) in her language and then started cutting my sons hair. I was really pissed off with what had happened and after the haircut I went into the empty restaurant to talk to the owners.
In the back of the darkish place sat a creepy queer looking guy eating something and opposite him a blond waitress folding napkins. I told him what happened and he just smiled scornfully back. I told him that perhaps it would be a good idea to do something about it since there are many people passing by there. Aha, he said and raised his eyebrows in a manner that expressed arrogance (I should have just smacked him right there and then in his slimey Albanianbosnianwhateverheis face). I went on and said – So I presume you don’t care about any of this? No, he went and smiled back in an assy way…
He really ticked me off and I left the restaurant and after telling him that, what goes around comes around.. and this will..
We had to spend the next 3 hours waiting (Swedish healthcare at it’s best) at the emergency to clean up the cut and glue it. No clinics were open so the emergency was the only place to go to.
I have been a customer at this place several times and I am amazed as how to this ass behaved. Arrogant c**t

This is Jamil, Ken’s khaleeji cousin. I’d say Ken is up for some competition. But then again Jamil is a friend of Jamila (it says so on the box) so Ken shouldn’t have to worry about Barbie. But then again…you never know. Found Jamil hanging out in Panda supermarket last night. He sure is a cutie.
Two days left until we go to Sweden. Feels great, only one thing missing now.
Under the abaya II – naughty Saudi t-shirts June 13, 2007

City Plaza has done it again 😛 . It’s always a laugh going there looking at the naughty t-shirts they have for teenage girls.
I keep wondering if their parents know what it says on the t-shirts and heey what the muttawa would say if they got hold of them :P. Sure are interesting t-shirts to find in a place like this. Speaking of naughty. There is a lingerie shop in Dhahran mall that the other day were selling kinky (and ugly) costumes for women. They had put them on display outside the shop and by the doors and they cracked me up. It was cheap looking belly dancing suits, little Red Riding Hood, nurse outfit and other really silly looking things. I just can’t imagine these things being sold so openly where I am from and the contrasts here are refreshing and just cracks me up.
Most likely to steal your boyfriend
Keep staring
I’m magically delicious
I’m cute. You’re not. Seems so unfair.
And the winner of this weeks naughty t-shirt contest is…
Imagine this T-shirt wet
I spoke to a man from Bangladesh in La Vie en Rose (lingerie shop in Rashid Mall) the other day about living here in Saudi. He admitted that he as a man looks much more at women with covered faces because it makes him more curious about who is underneath. Not that I felt he is looking at the customers in any creepy way. He seemed to mind his own business but it’s interesting how the niqab attracts men more than an uncovered face. This isn’t news to me but it kinda defies the purpose when you get more attention than you would have without the cover.

Since I have a wicked recipe for molokhia I feel the need to share it with the world.
- 1 onion finely chopped
- 5 cloves of garlic
- 1 tsp of coriander powder
- 2 packs of frozen molokhia (thawed)
- 2 chicken stock cubes
- half a cup of hot water
- 1-2 chicken filets
- salt and pepper
- Fry the onions in some oil until soft. Add garlic and coriander and fry gently.
- Put the stock cubes in the hot water and stir until dissolved.
- Put onion mix into a sauce pan. Pour in thawed molokhia in sauce pan.
- Stir and add the water with stock cubes. Let is boil gently or simmer for about 10 mins. Add more water if too thick.
- Chop chicken in small pieces and add to molokhia.
- Let it simmer until chicken is cooked (about 5-10 min).
- Add salt and pepper to your likening.
Serve with vermicelli rice, lemon juice and chilli sauce. A nice addition is also crispy arabic bread broken into small bits (cook it in the micro until crispy) and finely chopped onions in vinegar.
Enjoy! It is so good 🙂 Just had a plate.
