Valenteenah. Posted August 26, 2008 ^ You're not impressed, miyaa? I think most of the traditional afur foods take ages to prepare. Who has that time? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ElPunto Posted August 26, 2008 ^It's not much of a repertoire you must admit It does take a lot of time. But as with anything - if you want it(and your whole family) you somehow make the time. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ElPunto Posted August 26, 2008 ^Abysmal display of etiquette from the Etiquette Queen! No charity meals at Ramadan - that's what the month is all about. *Mouth is agape* Nice flag. But it's Vive Le Canada. It's ok - anyone west of Ottawa is not expected to know that. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Valenteenah. Posted August 26, 2008 The Point - that's true I suppose. But we are not a fussy family...we eat what we get and we are grateful (or rather they eat what I cook and they don't complain....much). Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ElPunto Posted August 26, 2008 ^I see you have them well trained. Just a tip - every once in a while surprise them with a time consuming delicious dish. They will be your slaves forever. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pucca Posted August 26, 2008 dude, i'd gladly cook for a group of women...its just with men there's more food to be cooked and more dishes to be washed. *sigh* one can only do so much ... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ElPunto Posted August 26, 2008 ^Don't sweat it. Remember it's all agr . But I am afraid you will have to relinquish the etiquette crown. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I do make the effort sometimes. Only my strengths lie in elaborate Thai/far-eastern dishes and my dad looks at the table and asks: "Bariiskii iyo hilibkii meeye?" :mad: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ElPunto Posted August 26, 2008 ^La Xawl Wala Quwata ila billah! Odaygu gar buu leyehaay! If you can do elaborate you can do the simple Somali food too. Pucca - by hook or by crook! I just have to find a worthy candidate. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Emperor Posted August 26, 2008 Dadku cunta badanaa I don't really care, whatever fills my stomach... The ironic thing is the month in which we suppose to fast, forget about and eat less food, contrary to that we make a bid deal out of it, it is Ramadan lets not talk about food or eating habits.

ElPunto Posted August 26, 2008 ^Adiga dookh xumidaa. Whatever fills the stomach kulaha. It's a special month for many reasons and deserves special food to be made. Pucca - I am a Somali male. I may choose to uphold any common standard and apply it as I see fit. That is the prerogative of my sex Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
