Lily’s Blog, Dragon Absconded!
Baking Until I Drop

Well, here you see my sister admitted to being an entitlement princess and interrupting my Ramadhan Blog, but I shall recover and at least salvage some and post some of ‘Id.

‘Id means festival and ‘Id-ul-Fitr is the celebration at the end of the month of fasting. It is the first of Shawwal.

For this holiday we prepare food!

So our food menu is (trini style) Barbeque chicken, lamb biryani, lamb kibbeh, falafel, spicy potato and gruyere cheese balls (unless someone donates monterey jack cheese to us), green salad (for mom). Maybe some vegetarian rice.

And the sweets menu?
Baklava and Asabieh, Basboosa (which I’m sure the people at grad school called Harisa), fake Nantakai (made from gulab jamoon recipe), carrot cake (from a box), sawaine and halwah.

Pictures shall follow!
If I have time maybe I’ll make CHOCOLATE HEARTS OF DARKNESS!

But the Asabieh is coming out very mmmmm.

Guess what I’m breaking fast with!
