# Yo' Momma aint got shit on my momma-

Of all the messed up things I've ever done. Last night was the one that will be my humiliation for a long time.So we have our ready made Saffa family iftaars...and apparently I wasn't supposed to bring anything considering time constraints and distance from knocking off at work to finally eating.So what's the joke? I didn't get the sarcasm...I spent half the day googling recipes for something "chocolate and sexy" and then left a bit early(3 hrs) from work to go and buy some very fucked up ingredients like arrowroot powder (apparently I could've used ghaas but like I'm supposed to know that) and then I made the bloody thing which gave me endless grief. All I can say is that thank god I didn't have to spend 12 hours perfecting it like the original. okay, they all enjoyed it. But then again we're pretty much garbage disposal units on legs so who knows. Chocolate is not the easiest thing to work with. The love which fills my heart now for my mother's chocolate mousse and the new found respect for my sister's ganache things.

And it makes me hate Courtney's cucumber sandwiches even more.

So while we're discussing food. My mother I think bought out the whole of Makro.And then shipped it to me. I am practically an amoeba (not in size but in singularity).

I have about 3kg of condense milk, 20 packets of Tennis Biscuits, 15 Marie biscuits, 4 kg of Cremora, 6 tupperwares full of savouries, 2 boxes each of chocolate: peppermint crisp, tex, kit kat, 2kg of dates. Thank you ma....but really....wtf am I going to do with all of this?

We get fresh milk here, I've never had condense milk ever in SA unless it was disguised in some dessert.Oh ya and 2 tins of All Gold Apricot Jam, 4 bottles of (with 15% extra free) Crosse and Blackwell Mayonnaise, a box full of the smaller all gold tomato sauce bottles, homemade atchaar, masalas, sauces,the one thing I'm thankful for though is the half a ton of Nandos sauces, good for marinading things. And then I phone to thank her for the parcel and I get told "I wanted to send you the yogurt you like and bananas but I thought it will get squashed".

Nothing will ever stop an Indian mother. How can people attempt being independent if they wont let you? Between the 6 of us this stuff is enough to last 6 months. But you'd think Britain has no food because "it's expensive to buy in pounds" wtf. It's good to know that my mum's not the only crazy on the planet...most of the SA mums do things like this. It's crazy. It's like when they buy us eid clothes and send them up for us to wear. And cry on the phone eid morning about how the "biryani is missing you"{that's not my mum btw that's Faheem's lolll}.

Fringe elements the lot of them I tell you.

Is it just me but my blog settings got screwed up? Everything is in German even on my profile so now I have to enlist the services of the only person I know who can translate it(qL ftw :) before I delete things and stuff.

Too weird.

At least that way, she may marinade something other than a cucumber with the nando's sauce.; 14 September 2007 at 22:32
