I made it through the first day of Ramadan with no problem. I did get a slight headache just before Maghrib. It is raining hard here in Mississippi. We are getting the remnants of Humberto. We needed the rain badly because everything is so dry.

Maureen, Happy birthday to your family!!!

I hope everyone has a good weekend!

Happy friday everyone! It's my husband's birthday today and it makes me so sad that we are so far apart and I can't be with him for his birthday. The only thing that helps me to get through all of this is knowing we will be together for his next birthday.

Rosh Hashanah is New Years and Yom Kippur is the Day of Attonement (fasting day).

Blessed Rosh Hashanah everyone!

Happy Friday to ya!

Last night I was invited to Dawn & Hatem's house for dinner. We sit down to eat and my heart is pounding. I can feel my throat close like a vice and I convince myself that the soup will be first. I take a bite, and feel tears welling up in my eyes. I am trying to suck them back in and it doesn't work, I feel the first ones sliding down my cheeks. Then came more, til there was no denying I was crying. At this moment, I knew my husband was also breaking his fast and it was the first time I was not with him for this. We should have been together for this moment. It was overwhelming the grief I was feeling.

It was shaping up to be the ugly cry, you know the one where your nose scrunches up. I stood up and said, 'Excuse me.' and ran to the bathroom. How embarrassing. After composing myself, I went back to the table and I ate. I ate maglooba and soup. I ate too much! It was delicious! After dinner, we sat and talked for a long time about life and Islam. I left there with a calm heart and a bag of leftovers.

Thx Prena for calling me! Amal--hehehehehehehe Andrea, when is mensaf?

Any weekend plans? I will be at my desk ALL weekend pretending to be busy.

aww Jackie sounds like you got some good medicine last night!!!!!! You are well on your way to recovery I think! Wish you could come over my house for iftar some night!!!!! I'll make the greek soup that I fell in love with last night! Here's' the recipe:

http://www.kolias.com/homegarden/recipes/greeksoup.htm

Greek Avgolemono Soup Here is the recipe for that famous and delicious Greek Avgolemono soup (a.k.a. Greek soup, lemon soup, chicken and lemon soup, chicken and lemon and egg soup). It may be known by different names, but we often just call it THE soup.

Ingredients:

8 cups chicken broth.

3 medium eggs.

1/2 cup rice.

Juice from two lemons.

Salt.

1. Bring chicken broth to a boil. Salt to taste.

2. Add rice, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes.

3. Remove from fire.

4. In a blender, beat the three eggs, slowly add the lemon juice to the eggs.

5. Add one cup of chicken broth, do not stop blending. The constant blending is the secret to prevent curdling of this delicious soup.

6. When the eggs and broth are well mixed, pour this mixture back into the remaining broth and rice.

7. Stir well over heat, but do not allow to boil.

Serves 6

I haven't tried it yet but it sounds exactly like the one I had last night. I'm cooking it tonight since I'm now addicted so I'll let you know how it is tomorrow.

What would cause curdling? The lemon and egg?
