I'm chronically ill, and, long story short, I would be in very very bad shape in a matter of 5 or 6 hours of fasting, if not much sooner. Fahim's mom's cooking is better also because, unlike restaurants and caterers and whatnot here, she doesn't skimp on any of the ingredients anywhere. When she cooks, she does it right, the way a dish is meant to be made. It has a lot less to do with time because she's a bit of a whirlwind herself... ;) Ana, I don’t fast.

(I can almost taste it in my mouth) I can see that Fahim's mom makes it better too, especially with more care and in a less rushed environment. I love this kind of food.

We ordered out for our lunch, but in the past, have also cooked, which usually involves starting some things the day before and a grand total of a lot of hours in the kitchen. Dessert in this house is always wattalapam, Fahim’s mom’s specialty, a custard made from eggs, coconut milk, and jaggery, although there may be other desserts as well.

But tomorrow, I'll have to write up a bit more. I glanced through those, and I noticed huge gaps in what could be said about Eid, both culturally and religiously. Or something along those lines... :) Okay, I’ve added links to the end of the post to other entries about Eid. But tomorrow, I’ll have to write up a bit more.

I have other Eid-related entries on my other blog, but I should really link to them from here, shouldn't I? :) There’s a lot more to do with it than this, but since this is the food blog, only the food-related stuff goes here.
