Just as I open this up and am about to start typing....I recognize the irony of what this post will be compared to how my last post opened. haha, oh well.
Roughly 2 years ago I started eating only halal food. It was about graduation time. I was studying for finals with a friend and we were talking about life after school. I mentioned how one thing I want to work on is learning more about Islam, being a better muslim, eating halal food, etc. And of course he gives me the simpliest of questions. What are you waiting for? And so I was like you're right. And then we went to lunch and from that lunch forward, I have only been eating halal food. Its been hard sometimes. I miss pho and korean bbq and some other things. But really, overall I've been lucky to find a good deal of places I can eat. And its not that hard overall. Anyways, here some pictures of food that I love. It may perhaps be a bit heavy on the chocolate and dessert side...hehe. For those of you on my facebook, there are more pics in an album I put up a couple days ago.

Good for you for making the change! If you look carefully you'll find a lot of great halal places to eat.
How does cold hot chocolate work? I've never heard of it but I'm interested in trying some :)
yes, great that you started eating halal food - although i am surprised you didnt before..for some strange reason []
btw, is little mosque episode 9 out? why the delay?
Damn, thats making me hungry... Halaal food hard to find in brooklyn?
Peace,

Awww man...I'm about to go out to dinner in a little while, and I haven't eaten all day. While waiting for a friend I thought I'd catch up on my blog reading and here's every bit of food I could imagine myself pigging out on now...
Maybe I can skip the main course and just order dessert?
liya: Thanks, actually its not hard finding halal food at all. Particularly where I live. Just certain things like korean bbq, pho, chicken parmagian, etc. Those I can't find.
Frozen hot chocolate, is where you take at least 1 (usually multiple) kind(s) of chocolate, melt it together, then chill it and serve it.
sofi: well I suppose technically I was always halal...but now its zabiya (sp?) :P I'm not sure why the delay is...a lot of shows went on break to avoid fighting for ratings with ncaa basketball...so hopefully it'll be back soon.
muhammed: no, its incredibly easy to find. I have a wide variety of indian and arab restaurants. Its only when you start craving other things that it becomes difficult.
aka: hehe, desserts always. it can be an appetizer!
Nicely done on the halal! Good stuff!
Egads! I'm suddenly STARVING!
