Ramadan Feast Guide


How to know if your Ramadan feast is an absolute disaster:

  • If your guests come an hour late know that they were warned of your food and ate at home without telling you.
  • If you place the food on the table and they volunteer to give it out know that they don't find it appetizing to start with.
  • If your guests forget about your food and start eating and complementing your dates, know that your food was horrible.
  • If you taste your food and it doesn't taste too good, know that it really is a disaster, because food tastes better when you're hungry.
  • If your guests don't finish your food, know that they didn't like it. If they finish the food, know you didn't make enough.

Helping Myself

In my household iftaar isn't always very good, it is usually what is leftover from yestarday, and I find it bland and unsatisfying. Either that, or it would be bamyeh or fasoolyeh. I always tell my dear mother to be creative when making dinner, she sometimes is and sometimes she isn't.

So sometimes I decide to go and help myself. The local corner shop is a few blocks away and I usually go there to buy a ton of stuff to feed myself. Its sort of like cavemen go to hunt for prey but in the twenty first century - although many still think of me as a caveman.

Back to the point, today was one of those days, so I went to the shop and bought myself a whole ton of food. All extremely nutritional of course, no doubt in that. I ended up spending around three or four dinars, of course my mother told me it will all go in the toliet in the end.







As seen in the photo I took, starting from left - two apple juice cartons, an Indomie packet, wafers from Eisberg, chewing gum, my favourite Kiwi and Lime juice, Galaxy chocolates, a bottle of water to avoid constipation, four ice cream bars, more fruit juices, M&Ms of course, two cheap Jordanian chocolates, and Dance biscuits.

And for those of you who think I'm fat or something, think again. All my old relatives tell me I have to get fatter for some reason and I am too weak. According to this BMI calculator I programmed myself, my Body Mass Index is 18. And if you're into that sort of stuff, I programmed it for this event.

Heart Shaped Falafel


The new inventions of a bored falafel shop owner, possibly found only in Nablus! A possible serving at those sad weddings. Anyone seen falafel shaped into hearts like this?

On Drinks And Food



Is this drink really non-alcoholic?

Why do I feel dizzy? Maybe I'm just sleepy...

It doesn't even taste nice, what a waste of 35 piasters.

Our teacher once told us about a meal in Morocco which has so much fat in it, it makes you quirky. This is because most of the blood, instead of going to the brain, goes to the stomach.

Getting drunk, the halal way. =P

Pancakes

I bet I made you hungry already.

Today my mum was in a good mood and decided to make my favorite, pancakes. For those of you who don't already know what pancakes are, please find the nearest high place and throw your self off.

For those of you who do, thank god for knowing so. Anyway, back to my story.

Pancakes are served with toppings, that range from jam to honey to bananas, even butter maybe, or sometimes even pineapples.

Of course, you don't know Khaled, who drinks things worse than 2ater.

I put anything deep fried and smothered in chocolate (quote from fairy godmother in Shrek 2).



That is, I spread my pancake with Nutella, sprinkle some sugar, add some chopped bananas and sprinkle a bit of cinnamon. Ah, bliss.

I will bet you anything anyone with diabetes who ate this would drop dead on the spot. No offense to anyone who does have diabetes. But, er, you got the point.

Even my little brother/devil tried to make his own pancake, but I don't think he succeeded in doing so.

The Perfect Hot Chocolate Drink

Go buy some Cadbury Drinking Chocolate. Choose absolutely nothing else unless you want to puke, even Nesquik (which tastes horrible). You can get one of these at C Town or Carrefour for around 3 JDs.



Take out three tea spoons of this magical stuff and put them into a mug of milk, then stir (yes, it won't completely dissolve because its still cold).



Put into your microwave for 2:30 (yes, I finally figured this out after many experiments). Go do something while this heats, because 2 and a half minutes is quite long and boring.



Remove from microwave and stir. Enjoy!
