Eid/Thanksgiving




This year our Eid Adha is falling on Friday. Unfortuanately for me the man is making me working on Friday, damn Uncle Sam and American Dream of capitalism lol. So I decided since I have to work both Thurs and Fri we will be celebrating Eid and Thanksgiving on Saturday which is fine considering that the Eid lasts three days. So on Saturday I plan on making a big turkey dinner and decorating the house. Any meals plan idea will be appreciated So far I will be making Turkey american style, Rice haitian style, and salad Egyptian/Medi style I havnt decided yet if I will make Mac n Cheese or macarona Bechmel. I like our dinner to reflect our diverse backgrounds but after cooking dinner for family every single night you run out of creative energy and so new meal ideas will be appreciated. Sunday havnt decided if we will take kids to cheesy indoor play place or do something more creative. I am so happy I will be in Egypt for next Ramadan I wont have to try to make it extra special for the kids as everywhere and everyone will be show casing ramadan spirit.

  1. Eid mubarak! Sounds like a delicious plan to me :)
    Oven baked macaroni with cheddar cheese "southern style" is delicious mmmmmmm.
    For the eids that I've experienced since converting not too long ago, I've felt lonely mostly and not so much in a "holiday spirit" so to speak.
    inshAllah that will change for me one day if i become part of a Muslim family.
