RAMADAN KAREEM!!!

You can never be too ready for Ramadan. You do all your shopping and get ready with the list of who to invite for Iftar, get all the spring cleaning done(spring cleaning for Muslims is days before Ramadan and Before any other Eid) and change the curtains.

However, when you think you have done all you could you found out that there is more and more and more to do. Aaarrrrrrggggg. Well, getting the worst Flu of all time doesn't help.

Though, this is tiresome, I am immensely enjoying it. you get ready for this and even if things don't go as they should, it is still the best time ever, Ramadan makes you better human.

Cooking old recipes that has been past down by your mother and her mother and so on so forth, and also finding new exciting way of cooking Ingredients that are familiar in to a new recipes.


This is the Month we all hope to be a better Muslims but also hope that, in the way, we lose some weight, shamefully thought you are more likely to gain weight in Ramadan than lose it. It is all about the fry ups and the sugar rush we give our self in attempt to get energy.

well, no fry ups for me this Ramadan, and no sugar rush. we are also as a family cutting the portions, this is not only for a dietary reason but we figure out that if we spend less on food it will be more on charity(watch us fight over the leftovers hehehehe).

what sets this Ramadan apart from the previous ones is that in this Ramadan if you are a Somali you have the added responsibility to help your people that are in Somalia and part of East Africa which is officially declared the worst humanitarian crises in the world.

Helping others(this time your people) is a rewarding experience and will take Ramadan to a whole new dimension, if you haven't planned to do so, please do it now, for Ramadan is the best month for Sadaqa(charity).



Here is a refreshing drink that may help you with much needed fluid.
