Why no linkie linkie?

Well, I haven't added a blogroll. I also don't leave my blog address linked to my name when I come to other blogs. I just don't feel like having much traffic. The few of you who come are old pals who have been here all along. I had some bizarre troll issues at Wordpress and just don't want to deal with that. So please accept my apologies for no blogroll. Inshallah when I am feeling more social, I'll make one. I think the only place feeding here is the SSF. And I think I talk about things that aren't always wholly relevant to forum members.

I ate about a cup of raahash today. What is raahash? Raahash is an Arabic word that roughly translates to "expands your thighs really fast." I surely need to cut down on the raahash. I'll probably have raahash withdrawal. I don't eat the stuff outside of Ramadan anyway. Well, not typically. I think I am over my gulab jamon addiction. We had some from Nirala and I didn't eat them all at once. Pat on the back for me.

It is mid-Ramadan and I feel that I have been slacking on Ramadan inspired religious duties. Inshallah I will direct my energy and attention to more religiously oriented endeavours. I have to say that it surely is difficult to fast and look after a baby. My neighbor has four kids, bless her heart.

Speaking of neighbors, yesterday, each one of them sent us food at iftaar time. Even the Hindu neighbor. He made us homemade gol guppa. It was amazing, mashallah. He made them from scratch, even the puris and the bareek sev. Actually, it wasn't the couple that rents the place who sent the gol guppas. It was their very kind hearted "houseboy," an odd title for his job considering he is an older man with grown children. The couple has gone on vacation and left him alone in the house with nothing to do. Anyway, he sent us the chaat, and earlier in the week he insisted on making us masala dosas. He went to town and showed up with idlis, wadas, sambhar, coconut chutney, a few plain dosas, three stuffed dosas, and to top it off, some Sheer Qorma. That was really nice. We have done him a couple of favors so I think he is repaying us in food! I keep telling him not to, but he does it anyway. Actually, I don't mind because he is such a good cook. I only sent each of my neighbors something once. I'll have to do that again.

Well, anyhow. Thanks for stopping by even though I haven't linked you. I do appreciate your patronage, even when I am just rambling. Even though I am trying to be all anti-social, I'd be truly sad if you never came. So really, thanks. I wish I could send you a cyber dish of food for your break-fast...
