Give Me My Daily Bread...
Thank God, After moving to a new college (with kitchen), and now I can prepare my desired foods using my own hands! Wow! This is like in heaven! (opps!). I think, I'm kinda fussy in food selection, no burn, no hot sauce, extra mayonnaise, do this, do that... and etc. By preparing my own foods, it lowers the risk that I'll be killed by a cook in restaurant and stall who is not follow his costumer policy... (again, Thank God!)
1) The "O" (Sh*t! you have dirty mind! I've some Clorox, do you need it?)
common bread but with 'O' shape
...with margarine, half-boiled egg and mushrooms
2) Open Sesame (filled with cinnamon and sweet butter)
mmm... very nice smell and very flavorful!
3) Sesame Bread
..with half boiled egg and baked potato slides (flavored with mixed herbs)
4) Iranian Bread (Indian Naan)
...with Herbs flavored tofus. This is weird! when Indian and Chinese merge!
*The Iranian bread in the picture was sponsored by Majid (my Iranian buddy), I can make it but this Bread looks less messy, btw very economic friendly!
5) Twin Bread
...with a piece of meat (I think... chicken wing), gravy and lime.
6) Extra-Sesame Twin Bread! (Can you differentiate them? C'mon they're twins!)
...with fish.
*I don't prefer fish with bread. Their taste's suck!
7) Spiced Caramel Bread
It's spicy but not hot! topping with Margarine, sugar and mixed spices (Cinnamon, Allspice and Nutmeg. Chili and Pepper are excluded!)
8) Anchovy Pizza
I think... I've to add something in its topping! too simple.
9) Garlic and Parley Bread
...with baked potato, tomato slices and Spinach + ketchup!
Bon appétit in many languages
These are phrases used to at the beginning or end of meals and mean something like "have a good meal" / "enjoy your meal". There is no exact English equivalent of this, though some people say bon appetit, particularly in restaurants.
Many people say grace, a short prayer recited before or after a meal to invoke a blessing upon the food or to give thanks for it.
