Topic: What's Up
Two days from now, it will be Eid al Adha holidays. I really miss the Eid holidays in Philippines. I miss my mother's cooking during these days, how I wish that I am there now. It's very cold here in Kuwait and I think celebrating Eid outdoors will be unpleasant. We might end up having coughs and colds or diarrhea!
While I am writing this post, I am also chatting with sister Ging in Philippines, she told me that she wil be celebrating Eid in Cotabato with our sister Ann and our father. Our mother will celebrate Eid in our hometown, Dinas, with our youngest brother Mong since she cannot leave him there, so we were all separated from each other. I am still hoping and praying that we will be together again, Insha Allah.
We went to seaside last Wednesday,3rd day of Eid, the last holiday, my husband said he wanted to take our lunch there, I was not prepared since he told me late already, almost 11:00 in the morning. So I suggested to drop by at the fish market to buy some shrimps there so that we can grill it and he said it's a good idea. So I brought some seaonings and spices for the grilling.
The weather was very good since it's autumn season in Kuwait nowadays, it's very perfect to grill outdoors. If he told me earlier then probably I can marinate chicken for barbeque but it was already late. Anyway we still had the shrimps to grill. My husband prepared the charcoal while I prepared the shrimps. I made a slit to the back of each shrimps, then I mixed light soy sauce, olive oil, minced garlic, minced onion and red chili powder together. I rubbed the slits of every shrimps from the olive oil mixture, then I grilled it for few minutes until done. We made the remaining mixture as our dipping sauce, then we ate our lunch while savoring the cool yet warm autumn breeze. Our son Azhfaar fall asleep afterwards.
