End of Ramadhan, Again!

Hey folks!

Like previous years, Ramadhan went by like a hurricane, and just as I started to adjust to everything that comes with it, it is already time to say goodbye (cue Bocelli's hit tune)..

Anyway, you see the greatest issue with the early morning 'sahur' for me, is the figuring out what to cook. Not the waking up, nor the woozy aftermath, but trying to fix something easy to eat with less than an hour of prep time.

Yes, once in a while, there's the occasional leftover food fest, but my family (the four of us, anyway) normally gobble up everything for 'iftar' and dinner, so much so that we have no leftovers! Talk about efficiency!

So, while preparing supper tonight, I thought I hit a damn fantastic idea for a website. Picture this:

1. You have 50 minutes to cook
2. You don't have everything in your fridge
3. You do have something (say, minced chicked)
4. You are sweating profusely, unable to Morimoto your way out in this Battle of the Mince Chicken ala Iron Chef!

What, oh what do you do??

You go to my brilliant website: whatsinyourfridge.com and just enter the ingredients that you have, click on 'Find' and presto, your on your way with the best-tasting recipe your available ingredient can be part of!

Only that someone beat me to the idea by well, about SIX YEARS!!

Hahaha..

Anyway the said website, CookingByNumbers is currently down, or at least that's what it looks like to me, so I'm having Toasted Broccoli & Cheese Sandwich tonight..
