2006 Eid Food

Eid at Mandarin

eid mubarak!! Did you know that eid is the celebration at end of Ramadan and it’s supposed to be one of the biggest holiday in Islam?

We all got money from sikander’s mom in celebration (very nice holiday :D:D). We also went out in the afternoon. Alidooh got purple glasses and forced us to call him “didi ali.”

Oh didi ali, you and your uniqueness! sikander’s mom said “alidooh himself is unique”. I think so too, in a nice way :)

By the way, sikander’s mom and alidooh can talk forever. They are so happy talking whatever between each other.. so I got a bit jealous and told alidooh “alidooh, you should have married to sikander so that you and mom can a good relationship” “lunato, yes I would have a great time with mom but I would have a terrible relationship with sikander. so don’t be jealous.”

To celebrate the day we went to Mandarin restaurant.. their Ontario Headquarter location!!!

toronto zombie walk 2006

A Zombie Walk in downtown Toronto? Don’t people have better things to do? People these days.

Well, since we (lunato, sikander, and alidooh) have “nothing to do” why don’t we go there and see what’s happening :D

Next year, we will definitely be in the zombies group dressed up as zombies and not just spectators. Alidooh, you would be the first Somali zombie :D

a very chicken day

Sikander and I woke up at 6 in the morning (i know it’s crazy) and had chicken kebab before we left his parents’ Mississauga house.

Later, at home, we got hungry again so we had a home-made chicken sandwich.

We had to move a few more things from missisauaga house to our apartment so we went to Mississauga house again and started loading boxes. On the way home, sikander wanted to have Wendy’s spicy chicken; he has to have Wendy’s spicy chicken whenever he feels exhausted or frustrated.. so here we go.. our third chicken treat.

Oh, talking about Wendy’s, about two weeks ago, when we were fixing the pickering house, we went to Wendy’s to have spicy chicken. Later in the evening, when we were still fixing things in the pickering house, sikander’s mom called to say that Wendy’s called asking for “sikander”. After we hung up the phone, we thought:

hmmm Wendy’s called… why?”
oh did we win something?
oh my god.. we won something, what is it, what is it
i have never won anything in my life.. but it’s happening right now!
but how did they get the Mississauga phone numnber?
maybe through my credit card. i haven’t updated all the addresses and phone numbers

Later, sikander asked me for something and I told him:

it’s in my purse
where is your purse?
somewhere overthere
no, i can’t find it
oh no, i think i left my purse in Wendy’s

Thankfully we found it at Wendy’s. The restaurant manager was keeping it safe and she told us that after waiting for an hour she went through the purse contents to find a phone number.

We unloaded the boxes at our apartment and headed back to Mississauga to return the van. At Mississauga, we went out on an errand and also visited the Halal meat place to buy some meat. When we came out of the store, there was an indian/pakistani restaurant nearby called “Tandoori Bazzar“. the smell comming out of the place was so nice so that you can’t just pass by. So we went inside even though we were full :) and ordered “Chicken Katakat” which is sikander’s favourite. I love Tandoori and wanted to try the tandoori chicken here. The last time I had tandoori was at the Indian restaurant in Luzern, Switzerland back in October 2005. So, we had two more chicken meals… omg, we were so so so full…

We came home by GO bus and counted how much chicken we had today: Chicken kebab, chicken sandwich, Wendy’s spicy chicken burger, Chicken katakat, and chicken tandoori… nothing but chicken. No wonder everything tastes like chicken.
