Salamwalikoum,
Sorry for such a long absense... Ramadan was crazy busy as usual and a few days after Eid the hubby and I travelled to morrocco to visit his family. So that's where I am right now...I'm going to be here the whole month and hopefully inshallah I will twist my in-laws arms into teaching me the recipes for their wedding cookies and some traditional cross-stitch techniques. More news when I get home in september....
Take care

Some Cookery Inspiration
Salamwalikoum,
Long time no blog for me.... My work schedule got all flipped around again and finding time for blogging seems to be getting harder... And the fact that Ramadan seems to be kicking my bum this year isn't helping... fasting in this heat has been tough. But I have to say I am proud of myself for sticking it out.
Anyhoo I thought I would give a sign of life today and share a website that I regularly peruse for my own amusement.It's called Project Gutenberg. Now I know many people probably already know about this site, it's been around for a while, but for those not in the know here is the scoop. This site is a repository of copyright free books from allover the world in several languages.
It's a huge mix of every kind of book out there, but my favorite section that I find the most amusing (weirdo that I am) is the cookery section. This part of the website contains cook books that even date back to the Roman empire. Some of the books that I find the most useful are the ones that were printed around the 1st World War. These books contain tons of recipes that will fill you up on the cheap and keep you going.
So there is my contribution to blogland for the day. Hope you guys find the website as entertaining as I do. Have fun.
