في المقهى ريتز هناك الطعام ، لكنّ الطّعام ليس جيد ، هو ساخن جدا او بارد جدا ،  و الزيت الكثير جدا و ليس لحم كثير الاستمتاع  بالاكل. ليس هناك طعام جيد في الجامعة ، لذلك انا دائما جائع ، انا جائع في محاضراتي و انا جائع عندما اسافر و انا جائع عندما انام . لذلك افك خمس-عشرة أرطال دائمًا ، عندما اسافري إلى امريكا للدرسي في الجامعة . و انا عطشان ايضًا دائمًا ، انا عطشان جدا عندما اعدو و انا عطشان عندما أسبح و انا عطشان عندما ادرس و انا عطشان عند الاكل ، لذلك  احيانا اقيم في الجامعة و لا اخرج .

في الايام التي اوقظها الساعة العاشرة و ست و ثلاثون ، انا ليس سعيد جدا ، بسبب ساعتين للنوم فقط . اليوم كان ذلك اليام . احيانا، عندما اوقظها في نفس الساعة ، اعمل لا عمله . عادة لا اسهر ، لكن احيانا للفهم  محاضراتي احتاج اسهر لفهمهم . يمكن ان افهم محاضراتي و انام اكثر لكننيّ سأفشل ، لذلك احيانا اقيم في الجامعة .

In the cafe Ritz is there the food, but the food is not good, he is very hot or very cold, and the oil many very and many enjoyment meat is not with the eating . There is no good food in the university, therefore I am always a hungry, I am hungry in my lectures and I am hungry when I travel and I am hungry when it put to sleep . Therefore I disconnect five - ten pounds always, when Isafri to America of Ldrsi is in the university . And I am thirsty also always, I am very thirsty when I run and I am thirsty when I swim and I am thirsty when I study and I am thirsty at the eating, therefore sometimes he was established in the university and do not go out .

In the days that I wake at tenth and thirty six, I am not very happy, because of two hours for the sleep only . Today that was Al Yam . Sometimes, when I wake it at the same time, make no its work . Habitually do not stay up, but sometimes for the understanding my lectures needed stay up for their understanding . Understand my lectures and put to sleep more but I will fail, therefore sometimes he was established in the university .

 

For those of you who tried my kickass Tomato cream sauce with Italian meats, here's the sister recipe; equally healthy and equally decadent at the same time, we need a celebration, we need a cookout, we need some food!!!

4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil (60ml), plus extra for drizzling
1 garlic clove, finely chopped
8 large sun dried tomatoes, chopped
12 black olives, pitted
200g canned tuna (7oz)
2 cups tomato sauce (see ‘salsa di 5 minuti’ recipe) (470ml)
1⁄2 cup 35% whipping cream (120ml)
Bunch of Italian parsley, finely chopped

Tomato cream sauce is heavenly. And when it's paired up with tuna it is like seeing god. I mean, the sauce just melts in your mouth and it is perhaps the best sauce for penne as it gets trapped inside each individual pasta.

 

 Heat olive oil in a saucepan. Add garlic, sun dried tomatoes and black olives. Cook until garlic turns golden in colour.
 Pour in tomato sauce and cook for a few minutes. Drain the canned tuna and add it to the sauce. Cook for an additional minute.
 Add the whipping cream and cook all together on high heat until just before the sauce begins to boil.
 Add cooked penne (just before the al dente stage) or your favorite pasta and finish cooking directly in the sauce for an additional minute.
 Sprinkle parsley and drizzle with the best extra virgin olive oil available. Serve immediately.

In my opinion Süleyman was the most powerful man on earth, this can clearly be seen in a letter from him to King FrancisI; Back then France was the most powerful country in the West. Süleyman, the Magnificent!!!!

Letter's introduction:

I, who am the sultan of sultans, the sovereign of sovereigns, the dispenser of crowns to the monarchs on the face of the earth, shadow of god on earth, the sultan and sovereign lord of the Mediterranean and the Black Sea, of Rumelia and Anatolia, of Karamania and the land of Rum, of Zulkadria, Diyarbakir, of Kurdistan, of Azerbaijan, Persia, Damascus, Cairo, Aleppo, of the Mecca and Medina, of Jerusalem, of all Arabia, of the Yemen and many other lands, which my noble forefathers and my glorious ancestors - may God light up their tombs - conquered by the force of their arms and which my august majesty has made subject to my flaming sword and victorious blade, I, Sultan Süleyman Han, to thee, who art Francis, king of the land of France ...



     - Istanbul, Constantinople 1536,
       Letter of Süleyman, the Magnificent, to Francis I, King of France.


Süleyman, became Khalīfah of the Ottaman empire from 1520 - 1566, at the same time he was also Sultan to the Turks. He personally led Ottoman armies to conquer Belgrade, Rhodes, and most of Hungary, besieged Vienna, and annexed huge territories of North Africa as far west as Morocco and most of the Middle East.

Within the empire, Suleiman was known as a fair ruler and opponent of corruption. He was a great patron of artists and philosophers, and was noted as one of the greatest Islamic poets, as well as an accomplished goldsmith. He is known in the West as Suleiman the Magnificent and in the Islamic world as the Lawgiver القانونى, a nickname stemming from his complete reconstruction of the Ottoman legal system.
