Take away

Thinking about. Adolescents and their siblings.
To get them up in the morning, feed them before going to school and get them exhausted home, later in the day. In the meantime, somewhere between stepping out of bed and arriving in the kitchen, for my cup of coffee, I have some thoughts about a lunch, school lunch for the girls.
I ask them. They come up most of the time with some ideas.
Most requests are about salads, pastas, fruits and home made cakes. Those last ones were done yesterday. Small cupcakes, different flavors. It is nice to see the girls having fun in the kitchen. Searching recipes, strolling cook books and running up and down for ingredients.
The house an atelier, a multi task space for activities.  If you can't find it outside in the city, and that is the main limitation in Rabat, you better propose it at home. Art, cooking, music and sport are all disciplines to explore and to get to know yourself better. It is a strong recommendation for all parents to get their teens involved in any of these fields. Enjoying my coffee in the garden while the panini are getting toasted.



Take away lunch idea for three girls!


Take one multi cereal bread  (250 gr). Cut in three horizontal layers.
Tomatoes, 2 pieces. In slices.
Mozzarella, one large or three small ones, in slices.
Fresh herb like thyme and basel.

Take a slice of bread, put slices of tomato and mozzarella on it, cover it with another piece of bread, repeat the same thing as what you did for the other piece of bread. Cover this with a last piece of bread. Your panini should now have 3 pieces of bread and two layers of tomato/mozzarella. The panini is ready when cheese has melt.
