Life Through My Eyes
One of the most irritating things of a person’s character I find to be is this: creating false statements about others. Worse? Passing it on. It could be something frivolous or on a grander scale. Either way, it’s baseless. But it’s something I have never been able to tolerate. I pray to Allah SWT that it’s something that never …
Tonight for dinner, I made a “fiery” five pepper baked [whole] chicken. I took two whole chickens and [using a fork] poked holes in each of them in order to let the marinade seep through to the inside. Next, I marinated the chicken with: black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, chili powder, ground mustard, a …

A couple of weeks ago, I found Ami trying to find my baby pictures, and it was so nice to go through some of our old pictures from our childhood. It had been a while since I had gone through them. Many of my newborn photos, including the first photo taken of me mere moments after …
A couple of weeks ago, I meant to make my strawberry and mango combination drink, but I accidentally mixed the pina colada and mango mixers without giving it a second thought.
