Wow the days go by so fast!
I'm so glad Ramadan is finally here. It teaches us self restraint in over eating,
committing sins and sexual urges.
We get to dedicate most of our day to reading Quran, offering voluntary prayers and charity. We also...
GET TO TRY OUT YUMMY RECIPES!!! :D :D :D :D
This past week I've been reading the Quran at an understandable pace, praying and trying to be better to my mother lol.
I've also been experimenting with a couple of recipes that were so worth it :).I was watching an anime, and I kept noticing the characters eating something called "Onigiri" (Rice Balls). They're usually made for lunch boxes in Japan, but I couldn't resist adding it to some of my Iftar plates this week :P.
Basically they are stuffed rice balls. I made a chicken vegetable stir fry with Soy sauce, Worcestershire and some molasses. Then I made some rice and sat down while my mom watched, and made some balls with my hands and stuffed them with the stir fry mix. They tasted so good! (Recipe)
My mom and I were so full after eating just two lol.
The second thing I tried out this week was a Vegetarian Spaghetti Pizza. That's right. I said pizza lol.
I saw the recipe online and just had to try it!
I didn't add 3 cups of mozzarella cheese (!!!) like the recipe asked. That's just nuts! Instead I opted for 3 table spoons of low fat Romano cheese spread for the crust and top layer :)). It was plenty cheesy too!
It's more like a lasagna I suppose but the title makes it unique and so does the flavour! Mmm mm mmm!!
My mom ate the rest of it (half the pan!) behind my back while I was taking a nap yesterday, so I just had to make some more today lol. It also looks exactly like the picture.
I think I'm going to try my BEST to be a 100% Vegetarian from now on, isA. Pray for me! lol. It's a step.
As for the rest of what happened this week...not much lol. Went over to relative's house, had some relatives over...you know the deal :P.
