Assalaamu alaikum......

3rd day of fasting for us...alhamdulillah. So far, no suhoor last minute mad dash....waking up on time, no problem.....all my girls are going back to sleep with full tummies, alhamdulillah. I'm thinking that before Friday I'm going to bake some muffins and send a plate to each of my neighbours....maybe carrot muffins? I'll ice some of them with cream cheese, and leave some plain. I bought those cute "tiny" muffin tins in Canada...so it'd be nice to bake in them. BUT DARN! I forgot to buy muffin cups....sheesh! None of those here in Egypt.....HO HUM! That's okay.....they don't have to have liners.

Yesterday I made pomegranite juice and mango juice to break our fast with. The mango juice was from the mango's on my tree at the villa. It was nice drinking it and thinking that I grew it. JazaakAllahu Khairan to my maid for having the foresightedness to freeze the mango's for me. Ever drank pomegranite juice? YUM! In Canada I was going crazy over Shopper's Drug Mart's pomegranite pop. None of that here either....maybe I'll buy some 7 up and pour it 1/2 and 1/2 juice? What do you think?? What? YUM?? LOLOL...okay.

I'm still psyching myself up to dieting......I'll tell you when I'm starting

JUst use some butter or oil in the tins with a little plor thrown in to prevent them from sticking....

My daughter loves pomegranite tea but it is EXPENSIVE! I paid $3 for a 20oz bottle of tea. It is one of those once in a great while, special treats.
