I wanted to do an EID post few weeks back. I composed it halfway and never get down to finishing it. It is too late to wish my Muslim readers now, but I guess I can wish you next month instead? 😛 Its just crazy, Hari Raya Puasa just left us and we have another 1 coming up next month? If time isn’t flying, I don’t know wat is. Anyways, I have been busy busy busy. From the preparations for Eid and the wedding cakes for my cousin’s wedding. Anyways more about the cakes in a later entry.
So it started with 10 days of baking during Ramadan. 120 bottles of cookies. Some are orders but most of these bottles belong to my brothers and dear ones.
During Eid, most people would serve either lontong or briyani, so I always try to give something different to our guests. We had hummus, butter chicken, raita and guests get to d-i-y their own kebab rolls using tortillas this year round. These were a hit with the guests. I guess it was indeed a refreshing change.
And Eid would not be complete without Mom’s almond milk. We are talking about real almonds here. Raw almonds blanched, de-skinned and then grounded into powder. Almond essence is a huge NO.
I love little girls, especially those in a frock with ribbons in their hair. but this boy cuteness would offer stiff competition even next to a girl in pink tutu and curly hair! He is uber cute and charming!
