for one year and I loved the salads. The chefs Sami and Yottam are great chefs and sometimes I miss their food. So now it's finally out their cooking book and my mother in law gave it to me as a present and I am looking forward to try many more recipes. Today I prepared "&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#009900;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;chargrilled broccoli with chilli and garlic&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;"and "&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#009900;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Mangetout with hazelnut and orange&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;". With the Ottolenghi cooking book, my mother in law also gave me a Jamaica cooking book "&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#3333FF;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Reggae reggae cookbook" by Levi Roots'&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;, so I can keep the family tradition.&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);

The place was ok, the view was stunning and I love to wake up in the morning and watch the sea still sleeping and smell the salty air and enjoy the calm. Tioman is a paradise, the sea is amazing, clear water, clored fished, amazing corals. We enjoied snorkelling, but we don't dive so after 3 days of snorkelling and reading we decided to leave after 5 days.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#33CC00;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;Unfortunatly and fortunatly the island is untouched, still developing so we actually couldn't go anywhere then our resort, to go to the near beach we had to walk 15min in the jungle and not so easy walk. The food wasn't good, we had different dishes but the all tasted same.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#33CC00;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;So again we can say, Tioman is a beautiful island, romantic , relaxing, good for diving but boring after 4-5 days.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8466638430734910298-6540495462833702987?l=gionigel.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://gionigel.blogspot.com/feeds/6540495462833702987/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8466638430734910298&amp;postID=6540495462833702987' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8466638430734910298/posts/default/6540495462833702987'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8466638430734910298/posts/default/6540495462833702987'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://gionigel.blogspot.com/2009/06/pulau-tioman.html' title='Pulau Tioman'/><author><name>Gio</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12347652360040558087</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-g2g44jZ0Knc/Tfr7X3KapgI/AAAAAAAAAig/WcTacDN1KIE/s220/thai%2Bfestival2.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_2-aU3DFjPLc/SkcXsO8cnMI/AAAAAAAAAI0/UpaDDYyRD-o/s72-c/tioman1.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466638430734910298.post-8941391851899748433</id><published>2009-06-27T23:29:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-06-29T18:27:03.867-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Vacanza'/><title type='text'>long long time</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_2-aU3DFjPLc/SkcS3-v37PI/AAAAAAAAAIs/L1HyO9oeqhk/s1600-h/langkawi+with+sisters.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 213px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_2-aU3DFjPLc/SkcS3-v37PI/AAAAAAAAAIs/L1HyO9oeqhk/s320/langkawi+with+sisters.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5352267435099024626" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;We have been busy recently so I didn't update the blog.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;In the last 4 months we had different members of the family over here.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;In March as I mentioned before we had Roberta e Clara, my sisters.

Ricevette un'educazione secondo i canoni tradizionali: studiò l'arabo, le scienze islamiche, la letteratura persiana e sin da giovane si guadagnò il titolo di "Hâfez", ovvero di "colui che recita a memoria il Corano". La sua maturità di poeta coincide con il regno di Shah Shojâ': durante questi anni la sua fama si diffuse in tutta la Persia, nel mondo arabo ed in India. Nonostante gli inviti ricevuti da parte di corti lontane, egli preferì rimanere presso i regnanti Mozaffaridi e di questi vide la sconfitta per mano di Timur. Morì a Shiraz nel 1390.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Hafiz is one of the world’s most beloved poets, he is affectionately known as the “Tongue of the Invisible” and the great Poet-Seer &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.poetseers.org/early_american_poets/ralph_waldo_emerson/"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#000000;"&gt;Ralph Waldo Emerson&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;himself remarked that “Hafiz is a poet for poets.” &lt;br /&gt;The poems of Hafiz have a beautiful and musical quality, which also embody a great spontaneity. In a myriad of poetic ways, Hafiz expresses the spiritual experiences of a mystic, in love with his Beloved. Yet he achieves this in a playful and enchanting way, like other &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.poetseers.org/spiritual_and_devotional_poets/sufi/"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#000000;"&gt;Sufi poets&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;, Hafiz weaves themes of ambiguity into his poems. Often he will use secular images such as wine, drunkenness and human love, however these are just symbols for the divine experiences which Hafiz is alluding to.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Hafiz was born in the beautiful city of Shiraz in Persia (now Iran ). As a young child he was called Shams –ud-din Mohammed. Hafiz proved to have a prodigious talent for literature. At an early age he successfully memorized the Qu’ran, and this is why he took the pen name of “Hafiz” – Hafiz means one who has memorized the entire Qu’ran by heart.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One of Hafez poems:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Near dawn: I was bushed from holding&lt;br /&gt;my breath: In the dark: I stumbled into&lt;br /&gt;my garden to inhale in the rose dark:&lt;br /&gt;Piercing: I heard the cry of the&lt;br /&gt;nightingale: Burning: The destitute bird&lt;br /&gt;cried for a rose to open: In the dark:&lt;br /&gt;Slowly: I breathed in my dark garden: I&lt;br /&gt;inhaled this love of the nightingale for&lt;br /&gt;the rose: This dark rose is the Image of&lt;br /&gt;Beauty: This noise piercing nightingale of&lt;br /&gt;Love: The dark rose cannot open: The&lt;br /&gt;love torn nightingale yearns eternally: In&lt;br /&gt;the dark: I realized: No one ever plucked&lt;br /&gt;a rose without getting stuck by a&lt;br /&gt;thorn: Hafiz: You’re stuck in the dark:&lt;br /&gt;You’d better go see the dark doctor: Seek no:&lt;br /&gt;help: In the dark: From the far shooting&lt;br /&gt;firesparking star wheel: Those wheeling&lt;br /&gt;burnouts scream billions of wobbling&lt;br /&gt;hot tear firing divans: Ghazals:&lt;br /&gt;Rubaiyats: Ghaseedehs:&lt;br /&gt;That help&lt;br /&gt;no human:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;Un poema di Hafez:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;color:#cc33cc;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;All'alba  mi recai nel giardino per cogliere una rosa,&lt;br /&gt;d'un tratto mi giunse all'orecchio il canto di un usignolo.&lt;br /&gt;Come me, sventurato, era impigliato nell'amore per la rosa e aveva messo in subbuglio il prato con i suoi gorgheggi.&lt;br /&gt;Girovagavo di continuo sul prato di quel giardino&lt;br /&gt;riflettendo su quella rosa e sul quel usignolo:&lt;br /&gt;la rosa è amica di Bellezza, e l'usignolo s'accompagna all'Amore,&lt;br /&gt;all'uno attribuisci virtù, all'altra mutevolezza.&lt;br /&gt;Molte rose sono sbocciate in questo giardino, eppure,&lt;br /&gt;nessuno può cogliere in esso una rosa senza provare dolore di spine.&lt;br /&gt;Hâfez, non sperare nella gioia che proviene da un simile mondo,&lt;br /&gt;esso invero ha mille difetti e non una sola virtù.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;color:#cc33cc;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8466638430734910298-6534130078077332051?l=gionigel.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://gionigel.blogspot.com/feeds/6534130078077332051/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8466638430734910298&amp;postID=6534130078077332051' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8466638430734910298/posts/default/6534130078077332051'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8466638430734910298/posts/default/6534130078077332051'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://gionigel.blogspot.com/2008/12/shams-al-din-muhammad-hafiz.html' title='SHAMS AL DIN MUHAMMAD HAFIZ'/><author><name>Gio</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12347652360040558087</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-g2g44jZ0Knc/Tfr7X3KapgI/AAAAAAAAAig/WcTacDN1KIE/s220/thai%2Bfestival2.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466638430734910298.post-2341185463299322608</id><published>2008-12-07T00:44:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-12-07T01:09:54.964-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Iranian dinner/ Cena iraniana</title><content type='html'>&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_2-aU3DFjPLc/STuQjpBh_0I/AAAAAAAAAEg/9qvuZfzKBzo/s1600-h/varie+008.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5276970330376765250" style="FLOAT: left;

La vita qui a Kl per lui non e' delle migliori, nel nostro condominio ci hanno vietato di portare Poldo fuori a passaggio alla luce del giorno, quindi potremmo portarlo solo alle 6 del mattino o alle 11 di sera.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Di solito quello che lo porta a spasso e' Nigel e lo fa la sera quando non c'e' piu' nessuno in giro.&lt;br /&gt;A Poldo piace molto giocare con Nigel specialmente la sera mentre siamo sul divano che cerchiamo di guardare un film o di guardare la partita. Con me invece preferisce dormire e farsi coccolare.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Adora mangiare TUTTO!!

E' stata un'esperienza indimenticabile sicuramente con momenti belli e brutti.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Dopo l'eccentrica Tokyo ci siamo trasferiti in Malesia dove viviamo attualmente. Qui non e' male, fa sempre caldo e umido, le persone sono molto amichevoli (anche troppo qualche volta) , e' un buon punto per viaggiare e visitare l'Asia e il cibo e' favoloso!!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Il 2008 e' stato un anno molto importante per noi, ci siamo sposati :-) e abbiamo raggiunto altri obbiettivi importanti.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Qui racconteremo la nostra semplice vita tenendo aggiornati i nostri cari e amici.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;We met 4 years ago and since then we started to share our live together and travelling around the word.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;After 6 months of living together in London we went to Tokyo where we lived for 1 year and an half. It has been an unforgetteble expirience with great moments and bad moments. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;After the eccentric Tokyo we moved to Malaysia where we are currently living. Here isn't bad, it is always hot and humid, the people are friendly (sometimes too much) , it is a good place to discover Asia and the food is great!!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;2008 has been a great year for us, we got married :-) and we achieve some importants goals.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Here we are going to tell our stories updating our families and friends.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8466638430734910298-3059778869986860374?l=gionigel.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://gionigel.blogspot.com/feeds/3059778869986860374/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8466638430734910298&amp;postID=3059778869986860374' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8466638430734910298/posts/default/3059778869986860374'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8466638430734910298/posts/default/3059778869986860374'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://gionigel.blogspot.com/2008/09/ci-siamo-incontrati-4-anni-fa-e-da.html' title=''/><author><name>Gio</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12347652360040558087</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-g2g44jZ0Knc/Tfr7X3KapgI/AAAAAAAAAig/WcTacDN1KIE/s220/thai%2Bfestival2.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_2-aU3DFjPLc/SL43C41Y19I/AAAAAAAAAAQ/WQHke13gN3A/s72-c/married+compr.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
