Ingredients

* 1 cup plain yogurt
* 2 teaspoons lemon juice
* 4 cloves garlic, minced
* 1/2 teaspoon hot pepper sauce
* 1 teaspoon vinegar
* 1 teaspoon onions, finely minced
* 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
* 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
* 1/2 teaspoon ground mace
* 1/2 teaspoon salt
* 2 lbs beef or chicken or lamb, sliced very thin
* 1 cup tahini
* 2 cloves garlic, minced
* 2 teaspoons lemon juice
* 2 teaspoons chopped parsley
* 1/2 cup water
* 8 slices pita bread
* sliced tomatoes
* sliced onions
* mixed sprouts
* lettuce, sliced thin
* tzatziki:*See recipe below
Tzatziki is made of strained yoghurt (usually sheep's-milk or goat's-milk in Greece and Turkey) mixed with cucumbers, garlic, salt, usually olive oil, pepper, sometimes dill, sometimes lemon juice and parsley, and sometimes mint added. The cucumbers are either pureed and strained, or seeded and finely diced. Olive oil, olives, and herbs are often used as garnishes.

Directions

1. Combine yogurt, lemon juice, garlic, pepper sauce, vinegar, onion, black and cayenne pepper, mace, and salt.
2. Add meat and marinate overnight.
3. (at least 12 hours-stir a few times) Grill the meat until done or broil in oven.
4. Combine the tahini, garlic, lemon juice, and parsley.
5. Whisk well.
6. Add water if needed.
7. To make the sandwich slice open a pita, spread some tahini sauce on the bread and add some lettuce and sprouts, tomato, onion and meat.
8. Pour on a little tzatziki and chow down.

For Chili Paste:
* 1 Cup Tahini:*See recipe below
* 3/4 cup lemon juice
* 2 tablespoons water
* 2 cloves garlic, crushed
* 1/2 teaspoon salt
* 1/2 teaspoon parsley, finely chopped
* dash of cumin
* 6-8 Dry red chilies
Tahini requires 5 cups sesame seeds & 1 1/2 cups olive oil or vegetable oil. Preheat oven to 350. Toast sesame seeds for 5-10 minutes, shaking the seeds frequently with a spatula. Do not allow to brown. Cool for 20 minutes.

Pour sesame seeds into food processor and add oil. Blend for 2 minutes. Check for consistency. The goal is a thick, yet pourable texture. Add more oil and blend until desired consistency. Tahini should be stored in the refrigerator in a tightly closed container. It will keep for up to 3 months.

Tergamak ke Anda Wahai Kaum Adam?

Saya ada membaca Berita Harian hari ini, halaman Dunia mukasurat 8. Dah banyak kali laporan mengenai isu kanak-kanak bernikah dengan orang yang layak digelar ayah, dan lebih teruk lagi Datuk.

Laporan suratkhabar hari ini melaporkan bahawa seorang budak berusia 13 tahun dari negara Arab, meninggal dunia setelah bernikah selama lima hari sahaja.

Maut mengcengkam nyawa budak yang tidak berdosa ini atas sebab yang begitu menyedihkan. Tidak sampai hati saya mahu menulis penyebabnya di sini.

Sebagai seorang wanita, walaupun saya belum bernikah mahupun mempunyai seorang anak, rasa marah yang tidak terhingga membuak di dalam hati saya.

Sanggupkah kamu wahai kaum Adam untuk memperisterikan seorang kanak-kanak yang belum tentu berupaya untuk memikul tanggung jawab sebagai isterimu? Apa ntah lagi untuk kamu tidur bersamanya? Seorang kanak-kanak for God's sake!

Keadaan tubuh kanak-kanak tidak mampu memenuhi tuntutan batin suami seperti isteri yang sudah dewasa.

Jangan nak gunakan istilah nabi Muhammad SAW mengahwini Aishah sebagai contoh! Kerana kamu bukan Rasulullah!

Pada pendapat saya, kamu hanya haiwan yang bertopengkan manusia! Apa di dunia ini sudah tidak cukup gadis yang sudah cukup umur untuk kamu memperisterikan?

Apa yang berada di fikiran ibu bapanya hingga sanggup melepaskan anak mereka ke tangan orang lain yang belum tentu dapat menjaganya dengan sempurna? Kerana ingin meringankan beban? Jika ingin meringankan beban dalam keluarga bukankah lebih baik jangan "mengadakan" anak itu in the first place?

Walaupun saya cetek ilmu mengenai culture orang di negara Arab, namun satu perkara yang saya tahu mengenai kaum Arab ni, they have no respect for women at all! This we cannot deny. It's a fact. Malah wanita Arab juga mengakuinya.

Cuba anda bayangkan jika lelaki Arab ni bernikah dengan seorang budak yang masih terlalu muda usianya? Yang sudah sesuai usianya untuk bernikah sahaja tidak mampu melawan keganasan mahupun kekerasan yang berlaku di dalam rumah tangga mereka apa ntah lagi seorang budak?

Pihak media Barat pula sekarang heboh mempertikaikan agama Islam yang tidak masuk di akal membenarkan pernikahan kanak-kanak. Tidak cukup dengan isu Terrorism sekarang isu tua tak sedar diri yang bernikah dengan kanak-kanak pula. Hinggakan ada kes yang sampai membawa maut! Yang maut bukan si tua tapi si insan yang tidak berdosa ini!

Semakin ramai orang yang telah salah ertikan tentang kesucian agama Islam. Sungguh sedih rasa di hati ini. Namun ianya sudah dijangkakan bakal berlaku.

Berkata Ali bin Abi Talib,

“Akan datang di suatu masa di mana Islam itu hanya akan tinggal namanya saja, agama hanya bentuk saja,
Al-Qur’an hanya dijadikan bacaan saja.."

When your Cat Attacks

I was attacked by my pet cat recently. Another side of him which I have never seen before. I have been scared of him ever since and in case it happens again, I would be prepared. This happens when I decided to take him out to the beach. Wrong wrong move. The sound of the waves terrified him. Whilst he tried to run, I hold on to his legs. This could have irritated him and he decided to treat my lower part of the arm as a steak to venge his anger on..

I felt dizzy and nauseous after the attack. Faint spells.. It's been 2 days now. The swell has begun to subside. Freaked out when pus starts oozing out from the wound yesterday. Apparently this is a good sign: Pus can be white, slightly yellow or green, and is relatively thick, approximately the same as Elmer’s Glue. It’s actually a collection of dead skin cells, white blood cells called neutrophils, and some bacteria that is still putting up a fight. It is a visible sign that you have an infection. Normally, a simple course of antibiotics will clear up the pus and the infection and will promote wound healing.

Did some research. Found bout some useful and interesting stuff if any of you guys were to go through a similar fate :)

When I say attack literally this is an attack.. Not those little bites and scratches aik? A punctured wound which may result with some permanent nasty scars?


How should I take care of a bite from a cat?
Whether from a family pet or a neighborhood stray, cat bites are common.

Here are some things you should do to take care of a wound caused by a cat bite:

1. If necessary, call your doctor
2. Wash the wound gently with soap and water.
3. Apply pressure with a clean towel to the injured area to stop any bleeding.
4. Apply a sterile bandage to the wound.
5. Keep the injury elevated above the level of the heart to slow swelling
and prevent infection.
6. Apply antibiotic ointment to the area 2 times every day until it heals.

Call your doctor in any of these situations:

You have a cat bite. Cat bites often cause infection. You don't need to call your doctor for a cat scratch, unless you think the wound is infected.

You have diabetes, liver or lung disease, cancer, acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) or another condition that could weaken your ability to fight infection.

You have any signs of infection, such as redness, swelling, warmth, increased tenderness, oozing of pus from the wound or a fever.

You have bleeding that doesn't stop after 15 minutes of pressure or you think you may have a broken bone, nerve damage or another serious injury.

Your last tetanus shot (vaccine) was more than 5 years ago. (If so, you may need a booster shot.)

You were bitten by a wild animal or a domestic animal (such as a pet) of unknown immunization status.

What will my doctor do?
Here are some things your doctor may do to treat a cat bite:

Examine the wound for possible nerve damage, tendon damage or bone injury. He or she will also check for signs of infection.

Clean the wound with a special solution and remove any damaged tissue.

May use stitches to close a bite wound, but often the wound is left open to heal, which can lower the risk of infection.

May prescribe an antibiotic to prevent infection.

May give you a tetanus shot if you had your last shot more than 5 years ago.

May ask you to schedule an office visit to check your wound again in 1 to 2 days.

If your injury is severe, or if the infection has not gotten better even though you're taking antibiotics, your doctor may suggest that you see a specialist and/or go to the hospital, where you can get special medicine given directly in your veins (intravenous antibiotics) and further treatment if necessary.

Hope the above information helps!
