UAE Kitten

Look beyond what you see...

Warning: FOODfull post ahead!

mood: Lucky to have beautiful (both inside & out) people around me
craving: Another cooking session!

Before anything: Thanks to awwwl those who emailed & msged regarding the adoption of Batman & Stripey from the previous post.. Although I wish I can just give one to each of you.. but there are only two.. & were given to the first people who emailed.. Better luck next time (& yes, this was fun to see all those cat lovers out there!) ;)

One of the best things in Remthaan are the gatherings, beautiful spiritual atmosphere & the food! One ritual we have every year is the annual cooking gathering with friends.. where we awwwl cook different dishes, then sit & enjoy it for ftoor.. This year I did one of my fav & addictive dishes: the “Italian Biryani“, & with the assistance of my best food partner: MissArmani.. xOxo

Another dish that was extreeeeeemely addictive was the delicious Rice Fatteh by M&Ms and Leo.. omg I can’t get over how AMAZING it tasted!! I did crave it for several days later (& will soooo regret posting its pics tomorrow when Im fasting!) 

Saj did a Rice, Meat & Eggplant Casserole which also tasted good & FLAME did a Banana cake (which I didnt realize was gluten free except today!!) I wish I tasted it =/

One of the highlights of the night was the gluten-free 5anafroosh by Manar & Shamma.. Omg its been a year since I tasted any.. & this was even better than the real version (omg abbaaaaaaaa)

& to end the night, we were introduced to the most amazing chocoholic cookies (& there were gluten-free versions for me).. MASH cookies made by ours truly: M&Ms and Leo.. I really reeeeally think you guys MUST open your own business coz 7aram these cookies are not shared with the whole world!!

Beautiful night.. with beautiful girls.. Will post more food pics in the next entry too! ;P hehehe

final whisper: 7amda I wish you were living in AD coz there is so much Gluten-Free love to share
