Food, snow and holidays

On tuesday, i went to pameer kabab to take-out some food. Its the new halal afghani place that opened up near my place. I have tried their food twice. Its on Raylawson and Hurontario and started the operation only a month ago. Its across from the court house plaza where they have tim hortons. Its also across from the Royal Bank....and the plaza is called some county court thing. So, far i have tried their chapli kabab, chicken breast kabab, seekh kabab (which they call shami) and beef boti along with naan. Everything was good. I have tried their pulao last time and the rice was khila khila...but since i am not a big fan of raisins i will not get the pulao again. Their firni was soooooooooooooooooo good. They gave that to us last time for free to try. Oh yeah and i tried their bulani this time...Its like aloo paratha...and the box had about 15 pieces of bolani. I like their food. Its not as spicy as pakistani food but you can taste all the herbs and spices used in their dishes. Even kids can eat that food easily. Plus, they are not as crowded as bamiyan kabab from Mississauga. The guy at the counter told me that he used to work at Bamiyan Kabab before so the taste is kind of similar. I hope that this place runs and picks up the business because i don't want it to close down. Almost every halal place except for popeyes that opened up near my place closed down.

Yesterday was my husband's first holiday after months. So, in the afternoon i took a print-out of some tobogganing places and we left. I used to have fun with magic carpets when i was a teenager with my brothers and cousins in chinguacousy park ages ago..Few days back i bought some tobogganing stuff from canadian tire because i wanted zaayan and all of us to have fun together as a family in the snow. Guess what? I didn't checked the weather yesterday and we left. When we reached the first park in mississauga it became very foggy and the rain started. The park had construction railings everywhere and all the people there brought their dogs because of a leash free area in that park. So, we left that park and decided not to go any park because now at that point it was raining cats and dogs and the snow was melting quickly because of the high temperature yesterday. I felt like an ehmaq yesterday because i wore my snow pants that i bought two years and never wore. I was all in the mood to play in snow. Now, we decided to continue the ride...we passed mississauga, went on to oakville and then went to milton and then to my favourite road from derry to rattle snake point and then to milton and brampton again. I love scenic snow clad hilly roads and felt so uplifted.

I sometimes wish that everyday was a holiday and we could just be outdoors *sigh*

Then we stopped at an indian store to get some nimko and then i wanted to get daal makhni from the nearby store for today and then osama got some paneer pakoras. While we were at the indian store...they were giving away vcr cassettes for free. They were discarding some of their collection...so being a desi how could i have resisted something for free...haha. So, we picked up some movies.

We had the plan to actually visit the halal pizza pizza that my sister-in-law told me about...but then all of us wanted to eat chinese...So, i got egg fried rice, veg manchurian pakoras, mangolian chicken, singapore veg noodles, chicken wings and chicken lollipop as a take-out.

Now my fridge is filled with afghani, indian and chinese food...so, i don't have to cook today and can wait how the day unfolds.

Alhumdullilah, i am enjoying my holidays so far. Allah, aap ka bohat shukr hay.

Hope, all of you can get some rest, sleep, some me time, some couch potato time and some fun time outdoors in these holidays. Have fun folks.
