I don't know anyone who's lost weight with slim fast but I hear great things about weight watchers.

Salaams,

If they're arriving at 4, why not do chai & snacks? Like, you can make samosas, appetizer-y stuff, etc, and some cookies, etc. You can set out a whole yummy snacky spread, even get some desi mix snacks or make bhel puri.

edit: someone posted the lyrics in english. could it mean "mirror"?

it means "my mirror", but without the video i could see how everyone thought it was "my women/wife" which would be "mra'ati"

It's usually the opposite for us I always get annoyed at hubby because he eats half my food and usually his is some shrimp dish or something (I can't stand shrimp) so I can't eat his

i wasn't talking about kebabs. i was talking about meals.

also, i'd say the number one reason the kebabs are loved so much is cause it's pre-mix masala

about the whole spice packet thing.

A week or two ago I made ground beef and peas. Depending on how lazy I feel, I might or might not use the spice mix. This time I didn't. Mr. ChotooMotoo doesn't know much about cooking, but while it was simmering in the last step he asks me "did you use the spice packet" this time I hadn't, and told him so. He replies "You should use it, it makes things taste nice." Yeah... so when he ate it I asked him how it tasted "It tastes very good."

Maybe I suck, I don't know. I can't really tell a big difference in taste when I use the packets or whole spices.

I feel so good today masha'Allah alhamdulillah.

I forgot how amazing a good workout at the gym feels holy moly why did I ever stop?! Oh that's right, law school but no more excuses for me! I can't wait till I do it again. Alhamdulillah. Now I'm going to go buy my books. I love the the beginning of semesters. It's like a new beginning, a new leaf

[ChotooMotoo]

He negged me to of course I negged him back

"So I tells the girl, that ain't my husband, it's a lawnmower!"

[heba]

just to clarify: if im getting full, i share my food

[sally]

i got negged with:

So I tells the guy, that ain't my wife, it's a sally!

[sumiyia]
