SHY NOODLES AND CHICKEN LOLLIES

http://highstreetmuslimah./2013/09/18/shy-noodles-and-chicken-lollies/

So, guess what HSM has been up to lately? Well, the name pretty much says it all. Yep, we rolled up our sleeves and got busy in the kitchen and the result was: Shy noodles and Chicken lollies. The name is derived from the fact that the noodles hide under a layer of egg and the chicken is eaten on toothpicks, giving the ‘lollipop’ effect.

For this mouth-watering delish recipe, you’ll need:

3 packets of noodles (we used Indomie)

½ tablespoon of pepper soup powder

1 medium-sized onion (chopped)

1 bell pepper (tatashe)

A handful of pepper (rodo)

1 green pepper

2 pieces of chicken franks

1 cup of raw oats (we used Quaker Oats)

2 eggs

2 tablespoons of chopped spinach (efo)

1 clove of garlic

½ of a lime

Salt, pepper, thyme

2 cups of water

Some frying oil (olive oil is healthiest)

ingredients

So, once you have all these ingredients, the job is half done.

First, boil the water in a pot and cook the noodles. You can add the seasoning
Strain the noodles from the water just before it gets properly done. Collect the water into a bowl

Put the water back in the pot and add the pepper soup powder. Allow to simmer on low heat
While the soup is cooking, cut the chicken franks into halves, so you’ll have four pieces.
Break the eggs into a bowl and whisk
Now, dip the chicken franks into the beaten egg and roll them inside the oats, until they are all coated. Then, stick a toothpick in the middle (from the bottom) of each frank.

The soup should be cooked by now. Take it off the heat, but keep it covered
Put some oil into a frying pan. Fry the coated chicken franks until golden brown
For the sauces, throw the spinach, some chopped green pepper into a blender. Squeeze in the lime and blend till you have a thick mixture.
Rinse the blender. Add the red peppers and a clove of garlic and blend as well.
To finish cooking, add some oil to each of the sauces and heat in a microwave oven for 2 minutes respectively. Now, you have your green and red sauces.

Reheat the oil you used to fry the chicken franks. Add some chopped red and green pepper as well as onions. Put in the noodles you strained earlier and stir properly until the color is evenly distributed

You remember the eggs you beat earlier? Add a pinch of salt and pepper and some thyme to taste.
Cut some long strips of red and green pepper and onions. Then put fresh oil in a frying pan and heat it up
Pour in the egg mixture. While one side is cooking, layer the top side of the egg with the strips of pepper and onions.
After about thirty seconds, flip the egg over to the other side
Cook until the egg is done and the strips of pepper and onion are embedded in the egg

Now that all your ingredients are cooked, it’s time to plate your food.

Get a deep transparent bowl. Stir the soup and put two cooking spoons of soup into the bowl. You could reheat the soup before this step
Place the noodles into the soup
Now place your fried egg over the noodles so that the side with the strips of pepper and onions is facing up
Tuck the egg into the bowl like a blanket. Trim off any excess
Place the bowl on a flat plate (preferably white)
Arrange the chicken lollies on the side of the plate
Now put a spoon of red and green sauce each on the plate.

There you go. Trust us; the taste is definitely worth the wait. Bon appétit!

Sissie: Nasheeds are allowed islamically

songs with the local drum (I have forgotten what the drum is called) is allowed but the song contents must not be offensive to Islam, with bad words e.t.c.

music with instrumentals I.e piano, guitar is not.

If it's haram in its entirety then it means nasheeds are haram too, which is not true.

Will try and get some reference for this.

it's called duff drums

10 Kinds Of People You Should Be Weary Of Marrying

The first and most critical step to a successful marriage is to be the right person, then marry the right person. They do not include:

The superior minded. People with a superiority complex believe that they are better than others. For such a person, marrying you is a favor and they will always look down on you.
The unrepentant loafer. Also known as an idler, this person is plain lazy and doesn’t seem to have any sense of responsibility. After worshiping your Lord, there is no greater responsibility than that of having a family.
People who disrespect your background. When a person intends to have you in their life, it should be the entire package. Anyone who wants you, but refuses to associate with your family or culture can’t really be serious. Fruits don’t just pop out of thin air, do they? They grow from a tree and you have to approach that tree to pick the fruit.
The totally unattractive. This is not saying that there are unattractive people. It simply means that you should feel a personal attraction to the person you hope to be with for the rest of your life. You could face the most beautiful or handsome person ever and still not feel any attraction. It’s a personal thing, which should be recognized.
A hypocrite. This sort of person isn’t real, because you don’t really know who they are. Love and lies cannot coexist, because trust is an integral part of any successful union. How can you love a person whom you do not really know?
A Dreamer. This individual particularly lacks direction, much less ambition. Get hooked to such a person, and you’ll both end up gone with the wind. It’s always talks of “when I make it”. Would any logical person hop.............

This was so enlightening that I thoought I'd share something from our blog:

Scarf Face!

One rainy day in October, I had a conversation while waiting for a bus at Ikoyi. The second party to this dialogue was a pimple-faced guy who exhibited considerable interest in me, until my mouth went on a little frolic of its own. The three-minute affaire du coeur went a little like this:

Guy: hello, my name is X (real name omitted)

Me: hi

Guy: may I know yours?

Me: no

Guy: why?

Me: I was just answering your question

Guy: oh…. (After some seconds) I think you’re very pretty

Me: really? Thank you

Guy: But that scarf! Aren’t you feeling hot?

Me: I could say the same for your suit. Do you need a hanky?

Guy: ha-ha…no, thank you. You know the corporate world and their strict dress code. I guess you’re a Muslim?

Me: you would be guessing right

Guy: this scarf you people wear, doesn’t it feel oppressive?

Me: wow! This coming from the guy who is sweating profusely in a suit he’s being forced to wear?

Guy: it’s not the same. How about your right to freedom of expression?

Me: Actually, it is the same. (At this point, I studied the folder in his arms and realized he was a lawyer) Um……I can’t remember what you said your name was. Take my advice and save your human rights speech for a judge who really cares to listen. Oh and by the way, it’s called hijab.

(The bus arrived at this juncture and I hopped on and then turned to wave at X)

Guy: bye, scarf face

Me: bye, pimple face!

Dear Mr. X, for the benefit of yourself and many others like you who remain trapped in the Dark Ages, I’ve decided to go against my better judgment and write about the whole ‘mystery’ surrounding hijab.

The first step is to remove your blindfold and open your eyes. Stop seeing hijab as a mere piece of cloth wrapped around the head. The hijab doesn’t ‘wrap’. Rather, it ‘covers’. Hijab is an all-encompassing term which portrays the entire aura of a Muslim woman –from her way of......

Assalamu alaikum sisters,
Have you heard of this wonderful blog for Muslim women by Muslim women in Nigeria??!
Here's the link: highstreetmuslimah.
You'll definitely enjoy it.

Here's something from our pioneer article called Scarf Face!
If you’re a real Nigerian, you must have boarded at least twice those big, yellow buses known as danfo. They are the most common and cheapest form of public transport in the country. They live up to the expectation of their name, flying across the roads like it was some personal tarmac. And they are forever making stops at the never ending cries of “O wa!” from a passenger, at which the driver pauses for him to alight. It’s really comical to realize that this is the same ‘speed-pause-speed’ syndrome that defines the fashion world. Trends spread like wildfire and the trendoids (robots who follow trends like the 11th commandment, but they prefer the term ‘fashionistas’) stick to them religiously until the designers and fashion forecasters declare a new ‘bus stop’. I swear it’s like a resurgence of the colonial era, except the only chains being wielded by our slave masters this time are those of a Louis Vuitton purse!
Like seriously, there is a difference between haute couture and street fashion. These designers create new looks and inspire our wardrobes year after.........
