Happy Muslim Mama: Friday Treats

Found myself passing the new Poundland in East Ham so thought I would have a look. Managed to bag the following for the kids and myelf. The scrapbooks were big and quite good quality and 100 pages, so will keep the kids busy and also provide a place for all the pictures they bring home from school.
The stickers were excellent quality. Some I will be keeping for my crafts. We were also invited to dinner by an aquaintance of my husbands. The lady of the house originally mistakenly thought we would be coming on Thursday so did the big cook-up only to realise we weren’t aware. My husband, his usual tactful self, suggested they stick it all in the fridge and we’d come over the next day.We usually take gifts of food when invited to dinner, either fruit or desserts. I suggested a cake from the supermarket and my husband suggested back that I make some. So I made these, although I managed to burn a tray whilst I was trying to multi-task (poorly) by chsnging the baby’s nappy and getting the children dressed at the same time.
I arranged them inthe basket like last time, but didn’t like these as much as last time.

Little Lady presented these to our host (I felt like a bit of a cheap-skate and wished we had bought some) who had cooked all over again. She told us that she had managed to fall on the bus that day (whilst trying to manage four kids, a pram and herself on a moving bus), hit her head on a metal pole and almost knock herself out.

With an aching head she still had to collect the kids from school, get them to madrassa (Quran school) and back and cook a big, lovely meal of Sindhi-style biryani, kebabs, achar gosht (lamb), chicken curry, salad and kheer for desert. I told her to go to the doctor as she was still not 100%.

Jummah Mubarak insh’Allah
