This weekend we were oh so lucky to have two iftars at the masjid, ie both on Saturday night and Sunday night.

Since the menus were remarkably similar, I decided to do them in one go. However I would’ve decided this anyway as it’s so late already

Chennette was here on Saturday and took some of the pictures (mostly because I wasn’t feeling well and I think she took pity on me or something).

Saturday 20th September, Ramadan 19 and Sunday 21st September, Ramadan 20

Suhur: I think mom had water upstairs and I had some macaroni pie and leftover fried shrimp. Who remembers Sunday??

Iftar: See Saturday pictures here and Sunday pictures here.

To break fast on Saturday, we had sahinas, peas pakoras, fruit salad (dates, grapes, apples, pears, peaches, plums), grate mango chutney and tamarind chutney.

On Sunday, we had sahinas, dates, apples and watermelon.

Then for dinner, Saturday had a bigger spread or both curry and stew but I wasn’t silly enough to take part in both sides. As you can see, my plate was kinda scanty.

From the first picture, you can see they had paratha roti (or buss-up-shut), avocado, fresh salad, curry channa and aloo, curry mango, stew chicken, fried rice, chowmein. I only had chicken, rice and noodles…

On Sunday, there was stew chicken, fried rice, macaroni and potato salad (yum!) and green salad. I’m not sure if there was anything else but that’s what I ate.

Both days had dessert, box cake and ice-cream. First day was yellow cake and strawberry ripple ice-cream. I ate so little and had no room so I just had a mouthful from generous sister. Second day, chocolate cake and yellow cake and chocolate ripple ice-cream.

Monday 22 September, Ramadan 21
suhur: unknown

iftar: Since I wasn’t fasting, I made tuna croquettes from this recipe. I doubled the recipe and used two cans of tuna (6oz each). I also used low fat milk (that’s what I had).

Aunty from next door dropped sahina.

dinner: leftovers from the weekend iftars.

Tuesday 23 September, Ramadan 22
Suhur: can’t recall, maybe bread and butter unless that was wednesday

iftar: leftover sahina and tuna croquettes

dinner: leftovers from iftars

The problem with delaying posts is I take no notes and forget…so if I don’t take any pictures, there is almost no hope.
