Birthday Dinner

As Salamu Alaikom o/,
It's alway fun when you find photos you knew you had but forgot where you put them only to find they were where they belonged to begin with. HAHAHA!!!! I know I'm such a noob sometimes. These are some photos of my Birthday dinner that I cooked. Alhamdulillah! It was fantastic.

This is the leg of lamb right off the grill. It was marinated in a pomegranate glaze, my secret recipe. It's boneless so I opened it pretty much flat and had to do very little cutting, once glazed, it was tied and bagged for the grill.....the next day.You can see the results for yourself.

In this next pic you will see molokhia with rice and chicken. Originally it was not mixed but everyone at my little party was so excited to dig in, they had mixed and dished it before I could get there with the camera or even let them know to dish it the way it was and mix it as they eat it. LOL obviously it was too good to wait.

Of course no meal goes without a salad, I picked greek. In the bigger container, hummus. In the smaller container, baba ghanoush. I didn't bother to plate them to look pretty, I kinda knew that it wouldn't last too long and of course it didn't .
This was my birthday meal. I thank and give all my praises to Allah for giving me the mad skills I have in the kitchen. I made everything at home and brought it all to my families house.... hence the containers. Only the meat was cooked at the families house. Insha'Allah you all enjoyed the photos. Salam
