Our city becomes one of lights a kind of Las Vegas style of attractions with a Xmas twist hence we have to pay the consequences for the continuous power failure which is the norm...Anyway enough rants lets get down to my menu for day 9 !
Menu:Day 9
Lentil Soup( Middle East)
Rice Pilaf
Yahni Biselia with lamb(Turkish)(Green pea casserole)
Humus ( Middle East )
Arabic salad
Cheese Buricks
Greeen Salad
Tabahaj (Libyan -Tripolitanian)fried veggies then fresh hot(green peppers)tomato sauce is then simmered in..
The sweets below are from family members who visited me on Thursday night .

.
Yesterday I had to take Mama shopping and that alone is a struggle as its a hard for her to move with ease ...so I got home late and as I was rushing in found my son and teenager in control of the menu .though they did use my leftovers from the previous day ,still I was pleased,and thanked God/Allah I had taught them to cook !
Lentil Soup- from previous day ( Libyan Sharba got burnt )
Kufta ( a bit dark nearly burnt nevertheless tasty)
Arabic Salad
Pizza (Italian)
Small panini from same pizzza dough (filled with tunafish and harissa and capers)
Tabajaj (Libyan) from day before
Spinach and cheese buricks(Turkish )
Yahni Biselia(also from previous day )
Sahten !
All in all its the thought and the gathering during Ramadan that counts and not what is consumed....
Salam
I did miss the delicious menu yesterday :o)
ReplyDeletewell done to your son, if it was me I would have really struggled, I cant cook lol
about the power failure, how can people cope with it! especially in that heat and fasting, too much walahi.
Thanks for the compliment Anglo ..
ReplyDeleteMy teenager was the chef in charge and she'd call on to her brother to do the dishes and fry whatever needed frying lol....
