Craving #1 & #2

Craving #1– Mrs. Field’s Cookies-and-Milk-Shake

Back in the fall of 2006, two perfect mates finally became one.  Cookies and Milk were married together into the Cookies-and-Milk-Shake to be sold at Mrs. Fields stores across the nation. What a blessed union.  I want some so bad right now.  For my two cookies I usually pick the standard semi-sweet chocolate chip and the M&M sugar cookie.  I’m formulating and plotting and scheming up a way so that I can get some today after I break my fast, insha’Allah.

Craving #2– Arab food

Living in Michigan I took Arab food for granted.  There were times when I’d have to eat it, rolling my eyes and begrudgingly because I was so sick of humus, rice, meat, and salad.  But now, 300 miles away from Dearborn, I think my eyes have stopped rolling and started tearing because I WANT SOME STINKING ARAB FOOD.  I don’t care if it’s a shawarma, or rice and kafta, or chicken fatoush salad, or humus and bread.  I just want something.  Ammi… abbu… Fati… if you’re reading, PLEASE next time I come to Michigan let’s have some Arab food PLEASE!!
