It's been forever

Dear readers,

As many of you know I have not posted anything new in a very long time. This is partly due to the fact that I have ran out of recipes. Another factor is that I no longer have time to work on my blog.

Recently, one of my readers commented that the pictures were not good and that I should retake them. My answer to that.......impossible! Too much time, money, and energy!!

So, after thinking about it I have decided to let you, the readers take part in my blog. You can develop your own Somali/Ramadan recipes, or make mine and take a pic.

Let me know what you think and if you are interested!

    I don't agree the pictures are bad either. The majority of your pictures are just fine, subhaanAllah! What were they looking for? Top-notch professional photographer pics?!
    Please! If they think your pictures are bad, then they haven't seen nothing yet, lol!

    I absolutely love your blog. Everything about it including the photos. I am not somali but love somali food and have been a friend of the culture for many years. I never tried to cook somali food because ....I don't know why. I just recently discovered your blog and I'm going to have fun trying your recipes, hope my husband enjoys it as well! I am a photographer and always take photos of foods I cook for the first time, just for me and just for fun. I would love to share with you and you can do as you please with them. Having said that. I see NOTHING wrong with the photos you have posted.

    Sincerely ... Mona

I would first like to thank my wonderful neighbor Marium for showing me how to make this. Masha'Allah, she is such an expert that she is able to make 2 stacks of eight instead of 8 stacks of 2.

Knead until a smooth dough is formed. 3. Wrap in plastic wrap and let rest for 30 minutes. 4. Knead for 2 minutes and then divide the dough into 16 pieces. 5. Press down each piece to form a 3 inch circle. 6. Coat the top with oil and sprinkle with flour. 7. Make 8 stacks with 2 in each stack. 8. Press down to try to keep them equal in size. 9. Flatten with a rolling pin until each stack is about 10 inches. 10. Heat a pan on low heat. 11. Place the stacked circles in the pan. (You don't want to cook the...
