With the mortar and pestle.
Sister Farhana organized an Eid food swap; Delicioso Swap. 1st Photo:: From Sister Nadi.
2nd Photo:: From Me.
To Sister Farhana:: Thanks for arranging the swap. Had loads of fun fixing up the parcel. ^
To Sister Nadi:: Thanks a mil' for the gorgeous package! I still remember that I owe you the Kleeja recipe. Insya'Allah, I'll email it to you later today. ^
Because of the swap, I'm finally moving on the whole cooking thing. :) Mum got pretty excited when I started asking her where's the saffron. She was like "What do you need?". Next thing I know, she brought massive amounts of ingredients as if I'm cooking a gargantuan feast. Looking on the bright side, we now have ample spices, nuts to last us till next Eid.
Think I'll rummage through Nadi's package so I can whip something up to soothe this dry throat of mine. :)
Have a good day!

Miss Ash :: It'd take me ages to gain 2kgs! *I do eat a lot, mind you* Insya'Allah, I'll take a look at it. ^
Linda :: LoL. Call it maternal reactions then.
Lucky you! As I had stayed away from family, I'm used to devising my own recipes due to insufficient ingredients. When I have it all, that's when things start to get crazy.
Far from being tension therapy, I cook and bake when I'm bored or simply feeling creatively adventurous.
W'salam,

Asalaamualaikum,
Yummy swap pic.
btw, is ma'moul a Malaysian sweet also (besides Arab)? I thought the swap was about sharing regional goodies.
W'salam Serendipitouslife ::
Nope. Haha~
Well, not entirely. It's more of sharing the sheer joy of Eid; primarily on food. ^
Plus we're both from M'sia thus to send something M'sian seems off. Eventually, we set themes. Hers was 'Arabia Exotica'. Considering I have traces of Arab roots, hopefully the whole Arab package justifies for the regional goodies.
W'salam,
Hajar
