I am sorry my table looks less appetizing than the norm.Last days of Ramadan are quite hectic especially when one has to drive around with heavy traffic and lawless attitude to a point that I found myself going through a red light due to the driver behind me bumping me to move on .

Hints for a nice Ramadan Table Menu ;


The basics  of choice are  :soup ,burick ,1 or 2 salads,a yahni and maybe rice pilaf.The buslas (onion sauces and used as toppings) for couscusy ,pasta ,rishtet keskas,or rice can be used for larger families but always use a much lesser quantity than the norm, to avoid the excess of food.
 In adition to imbakbaka which can sometimes replace the sharba(soup)to lovers of pasta !

The Libyan Dates above( Bela7) before the ripe are also sweet -depending on the palm.These were brought to me by my neighbour bless his heart.
