The Only Place Where You Can Read My Thoughts!
How I spent my Friday!!

Today was a very long day and we spent it making sweets we should have made before Eid. Yes, I am talking about Ka3k w Ma3mool!

 

My brother in law is leaving on Monday to the states to go back to his routine work life, and my sister decided to make some ka3k w ma3mool for him to take it with him for the family there. She asked me, my mother and my sisters for help and we gladly went to her place, helped her make them and got out with some nice sweets at the end of it.

I took the chance to capture some pictures while we were working and decided to share them with you, and no, my blog is not turning into a virtual cookbook … LOL!


Starting with the crust

Preparing the dates


Dates and ka3k (cookies) before shaping


Placing the date inside to crust to make ka3k (cookies)


Ka3k placed in baking tray after shaping them


Ka3k in the oven being baked


Out of the oven, hot and yummy!!


Another tray of Ma3mool with sugar on top


No more teasing ... this plate is going to Jeeran!!

I love cooking... and eating! I wouldn't mind at all if your page became an on-line cook book. Then again, I wouldn't want you to stop giving insights into the mind of Khalidah. I'm enjoying getting to know you!
