{insert drumroll ....}
I introduce to you here the Gingerbread Muslim brother.
You will notice the colorful candies that represent his beard. The red icing at the top represents his prayer cap. The lines at the bottom of his legs represent his shalwar kameez. This gingerbread has experienced significant hardship, as you can see by the break in the middle.
Now, here is the Gingerbread Muslim Sister.
You will notice the thick icing on the head representing her hijab.
You can be the judge as to who won the competition.

What happened to the Gingerbread Muslism brother that got cut in half in the middle?
Mmmmm... modestly dressed holiday treats... Mmmm.. (Bilal drools)
These are from a year ago? What is a 20-something man doing decorating gingerbread people with his sister? What's next - Ozair's Muslim version of Ken?
Ali, I wanted to eat a decorated gingerbread, and no one was willing to do it for me, so I decided I needed some incentive, hence the decoration.
I really don't care if a 20-somthing man is decorating a gingerbread with his sister, I could care less what the outside world thinks. Perhaps, I should not have made this public, but I thought my broken (it fell from the table) gingerbread man looked funny, hence the pic.
Omar - No, I was not neglected by my siblings. In fact, I very much remember enjoying my sister's brownies or carrot cake or whatever she was into baking at different times (I just wasn't involved in the process). Not to say we didn't do things together, and by things I mostly mean watching TV.
Ozair - I was only kidding. Don't get offended. Next time you bake something though, make sure I get a piece.
Ozair...
I like the Shalwar Kameez :-)
Good job!
Ali, I had a feeling you were joking, but you lack smiley faces in your comment, so I took the defensive stance. My crankiness must be due to the weather, another snowstorm ... another long drive today ... 2.5 hours.
BTW, don't you remember my pancakes I used to make in UW ... they were sick! (good sick, not making you sick)
Ozair, I do indeed remember the pancakes now that you mention it. And yes, they were pretty good. We made a mess in the kitchen, but it was worth it.
Asad bhai thought me how to bake cakes and helped me crochet fuzzy cushions (wallahi, I swear by Allah)
hopefully I can survive from suffering his wrath long enough to move to mahico.
IT HAD TO BE SAID.
he is the goluness who loves chips ahoy! chewy chocolate chip cookies and asks me to bring 3 packs every time I return and he doesnt have to ask any more :)
Faray - Asad was quite obsessed with the chewy cookies when we are in school, not suprised that he still has the obsession. I remember during Ramadan, we were part of "Team Project Pakora", where we once cooked pakora's for iftaar on campus.
Saira, that is so funny that you have the same plates ... small world ... Also, every desi house I visit has atleast a few of the steel cups and plates too.
I know asad bhai had some sort of obsession with those cookies before he came back, you know he misses Canada so much.
He's going to be back. Insh'allah..
"Team Project Pakora" lol
that is hilarious,
I just wanted to add, "And bhaijan, taught me ENGLISH"
hahahaha...
Saira, upon reading your comment, i went back to check out the plate.
My mother-in-law has the same ones also :)
Ozair, Saira and Sara,
My mom has the same plates too!!!
I now know what dishes to purchase someone as a wedding gift :-)
Sorry to break your little chain of euphoria over crockery guys - I have never seen those plates before in my life.
But that's not what this comment is about. I'm here wondering why Ozair deleted his last post altogether.
Ali, I decided to remove the last post because I did not want people to get a wrong idea about the last comment.
I know you did not accuse me of that type of behaviour mentioned in your comment, but rather offered a helpful tip. I do agree that it could be an issue for some people. In the future, I will be a lot more careful in what I say.
I would rather discontinue further discussion on that comment since people who do know me could construct their own false assumptions about me.
I'm curious: the box under Gingerbread Hijabi - is it a gingerbread mix?
The box contains a ready made gingerbread. My sister bought the icing to put on the gingerbread.
What? You didn't even bake the gingerbreads yourself? That takes the cake (pun intended) in this whole story. We're fussing over mere icing attempts by two people!
(I got done with exams today so you'll excuse me for unnecessary comments like this one.)
LOL ... this exercise was all an icing decoration attempt displayed on some very popular plates. My gingerbread decoration is quite sad, but who is not surprised. Although, during my 5 years in university, I told myself I would learn to do something useful in the kitchen, I just don't got dem skills.
LoL!! My grandmother has those plates!!
