It was another tiring day at work, but we we wanted to eat in and wanted a simple but filling Iftar. M has vowed off of fried food since he heard Mufti Ismail Menk mention in a lecture how fried things are …
M and I decided to have dinner at Il Caffe Di Roma tonight. I love City Walk, and I could sense a cold coming along, so I wanted to eat somewhere in that area where I could also have a a nice warm drink …
As much as I love to cook, I’m not one to make dainty little tedious items like samosas and spring rolls and little fondant cake toppers. I have utmost respect for people who do that though (so that people like me can …
