Baking Until I Drop

We’re working on the assumption that ‘Id-ul-Fitr will be on Wednesday. This may change.

You can see the first draft here.

For ‘Id:
Saturday:

• Make Sahina (not fry, roll it, freeze it etc)
• Make cheesecake

Sunday:

• Unmold cheesecake and cut into squares, store by aunty next door.
• Spiced nuts

Tuesday:

• Almond cookies (maybe I do this on Monday…or at least start)
• Mom shows me how to make Rasgullah
• Make kibbe (lamb and little vegetarian)
• Slice cucumbers and tomatoes

Wednesday, ‘Id-ul-Fitr:

• Fry Sahina
• Make sawaine
• Bake lamb kibbe
• Make Chicken Biryani

For ‘Id celebrations when Chennette comes:
Thursday:

• Make doughnuts from pizza dough and fry them!

Friday:

• Mom shows Chennette how to make Fat Kurma
• Baklava
• Lamb Pastries

Saturday:

• Bake veggie kibbe
• Harissa seasoned baked and fried potatoes
• Couscous salad
• Have dad BBQ lamb

The week after ‘Id for a certain newlywed:

• Make hot barfi!

How’s that?
