It's Cold!



So I called up Mom yesterday to tell her how cold I am.  She didn't have too much sympathy for me.  The high yesterday was 80!  I was so chilly I had to wear a sweatshirt.  And then it got down to 60 at night and that was just too much.


I guess winter is making its way here.

Ramadan is now coming to an end, with Eid (End of Ramadan holiday) falling on either Saturday or Sunday of next week.  We all get to go out and watch the moon to find out.

I thought I would post a couple of pictures of some ftar meals I've made recently.


Starting with the teapot, we've got milk with a little tinsy bit of coffee, cinnamon and a lot of sugar.  Traditionally people break fast with dates and milk.  Harira is the soup, then chebekia, dates, tomato-basil biscuits, slou and bread!

This is a ftar I made for just me.  Still got the dates and chebekia and slou, but this time with skillet biscuits and anis rolls.  Oh, and the soup is a traditional breakfast soup made from couscous.
