Dear sisters!
I hope you've had a wonderful weekend!
I haven't had much going on besides studying... And shopping online ;-) Well, I bought 1 thing. Lol. It cost 2.88 US Dollars - at first. When I had to pay for it, they added 5.57 US Dollars because of it's weight and to send it to my address, they added 13.07 US Dollars so I ended up actually paying 18.65 US Dollars more than I thought I would at first :-/ Wow what a business. But I bought it - and will return it, if I don't like it anyway. What I bought was this (the blue one):
It's definitely not worth that much money!! But I had been looking for a cute and special watering can for such a long time. You know: for the bathroom. As muslims we use it so many times a day (and I'm not referring to watering plants ;-), so why not have a special one? Hehe. And I love how it looks a bit Middle Eastern or something.

On to something else:
If you don't know what to have for dinner today or tomorrow, you could try this delicious soup (I got the recipe here and had it translated on Google Translate):
SPINACH SOUP with fresh ginger & coconut milk
An easy and very simple soup to prepare. It is also a vitamin and mineral bomb without equal (both A, C, B2, B9, chromium and zinc -from ginger).
In approx. 40 minutes you have a delicious soup ready for serving.
Ingredients (4 people)
2 large leeks
1.5 liter vegetable broth
3 large handful's of fresh spinach
1 can coconut milk
1 tbsp. spicy curry
1 tsp ground chilli or sambal oelek
A piece of ginger, approx. the size of a thumb
Oil for frying (about 3-4 tablespoons.)
1 clove garlic, pressed
salt and pepper
Cut off the ends of the leeks, cut them up lengthwise and rinse them in cold water. Chop them coarsely.
Cut the peel off the ginger and chop it finely.
Put leeks and ginger in a saucepan with the oil, pepper and curry.
Fry with medium heat for approx. 4-5 minutes, or until you start to smell the leeks really well.
Add broth, coconut milk and spinach.
Let it simmer, covered, for approx. 20 minutes.
Remove from heat and blend with a hand blender.
Taste with salt, a pressed clove of garlic and the soup is ready to serve.
-You might want to serve it with bread or rice.
Bismillah! :-)
