Eid-al-Adha 2012 - Here's Mine, How was yours?

If you celebrated Eid this weekend, Mubarak! How was yours?

In our family, every Eid, {so that’s twice a year} we have the same almost customary argument/debate as to whether we should go out or stay in and cook at home, both my parents work, so we {me and the siblings} usually vote for going out, and then we have mum who even though she doesn’t have the time, brings the house down at the mere thought of not cooking dinner at home, last time we won, this time she won. So we stayed in.

I spent pretty much all of Friday thinking it was Saturday, waking late, meant doing a mad rush to get all of us out of the house, in time for Eid prayer, the mosque is just a minute’s walk away thankfully.

We had lunch at my parents’ house, and then headed back home to prepare for dinner ~ we split the work load, saves just one person slaving away in the kitchen. Everyone came to mine, and I made roast potatoes, to accompany the roast leg of lamb my SIL made. My other sister in law brought dessert. Absolute god send has to be disposable roasting trays!

I was hoping to go out on at the weekend, but eldest ended up with the flu. so we stayed home, watching movies, playing board games, painting, laughing and just enjoying doing nothing. Don’t remember the last time we did that.

I was really craving Nandos though {as you do} so ended up making something similar at home.

  1. The experience is really unique for phones that support accelerometer technology and
    that will hopefully inspire game developers to produce more innovative
    games. Microsoft and 4J Studios released a Halloween themed texture pack to Minecraft:
    Xbox 360 Edition on Friday and, best of all, it's free.

    It may simply be something within your client download that is
    no longer working, and re-installing it should fix this.

    This app is perfect for Sudoku fans who do not just want to play puzzle games but also want to create their own puzzles.
    There are also flexible closet organizers which can be dismantled easily when they are not required in a space.
    Hence, they would want a simple closet organizer which is temporary.

    Focus in on money instead of refills, and since it is easy to add people to
    your army that should be a second thought.

  5. The most popular tourist resorts. If you're thinking of
    traveling this winter for a ski trip to the Alps to a beach front resort in the world?
    They tell travelex the visitors about the monuments, history, fun, entertainment, even the quality of your trip.
    Followed by, how much travelex money can I afford? Travel blogs provide great
    benefits for tourists who travel abroad. If you are traveling out of the
    woods and stopped near a small tree at the edge of the glade where
    Coyote was standing.
