mac & cheese kd dinner

So.....

I come home from the grocery store, as my boys returned home from school. Putting away the groceries, was what we all pitched in to do.

Ibrahim and Isa sees the boxes of Kraft Dinner (no rennet or pepsin in the cheese mix so it's all halal), and wants to eat it.

I tell them I don't really have time to prepare it as I have to get ready to head out for my night class starting soon, that I need to pack up, pray, and eat something before I do.

Ibrahim offers, volunteers to cook as long as I tell him how by step by step instructions, I guess the one on the box wasn't clear enough.

So, I gave him a quick, easy, step by step version on how to prepare it.

And he followed the instructions carefully, and he was so happy that he was actually cooking, and carefully holding the pot and stirring the pasta often.

Then, carefully preparing the sauce and mixing it into the pasta.

These kids had a few bowl fuls of it. My mom was wondering what was up, as we wondered where the camera was to make it one of the most amazing, unbelievable things ever.
Not that he cooked the food, but that they had enough appetite to eat it.

I guess it's because he likes it, and he prepared it, so he took the time and effort to put the love in it. Which means he appreciated it more.
Which is good.
Saved me from cooking. Not that I would have to cook something as my mom decided to prepare some Sweet Daal and pita bread, which is really good.

Which reminds me, it's now 10:30pm est and I'm back from my class, and going to go eat myself some more, plus some baba ghanoush with some toasted garlic pita bread pockets.

YUM!
