we splurged for our ONLY time this month, In Sha'a Allah!

we had sambusa [the splurge. 3 left, after that no more! unhealthy they are!]

my wife took some of the meant for the sambusa and plopped it on some tiny hamburger buns. topped them with shredded italian cheese and popped them into the toaster oven. THOSE were good! we may have more, In Sha'a Allah! :D

we also had rice and veggies. zucchini and summer squash sauteed with onions and broccoli. [when nearly cooked add a bit of martinellis [sparkling apple juice (a vino substitute) top off with some butter!]

i've been sick so i rested most of the day, sent the wife to visit her mom. :D:D:D




:nervous:

i went to a website with some "new" Tafseer of Surat Al Kahf by Bilal Philips. we have a version on dvd and i wanted to see if it was different. it was, so i downloaded some, spliced and burnt the first 4 cds. this right here:

http://www.kalamullah.com/kahf.html

i also listen to the 1st 2 Juz of the Qur'an by Mufti Menk and Hafz Faizur Rahman, this here:

I unfortunately caught a bad cold-right when Ramadan started. What perfect timing <_<
Please make dua for me that I get better soon so I can fast; it stinks to be sick during Ramadan :(

So how did you spend your first day of Ramadan? and what did you break your fast on?

This day went rather fast (for me) I was sleep deprived for a few days, and though we had guests today I could barely keep my eyes open..
I woke up 15 mins shy of breakfast.. we had a feat but I wasn't very hungry.. to be honest I still want to sleep some more.. it is catching up with me the deprivation of the past two weeks...

we had rotisserie chicken today, some spinach burek?

Sis the pinkish white drink is Roohafza with milk. I gave an example of it without milk and jus water.

Here is the syrup itself.

^^That can come in different flavors/colors. The red is rose syrup.

Roohafza means "which nourishes the soul." It's an Urdu phrase.

Rooh - soul
Afza - that which nourishes.

naan chicken wrap and

I don't know how it is cooked.. but my mom says that it is very starchy and has to be washed thoroughly as to not be slimy ..
then I am not sure how she makes this green soup for it, and adds the little cubes of taro but it is really pretty yummy and different, like nothing you've ever tasted I guarantee...
