Seriously?So you believe wagyu is worth the money and hype? 

[Diaz]

Yesterday for iftar I had grilled chicken with rice, for suhoor we ordered beef shawarma with falafel. It was decent. 

[notme]

We had lemon basil chicken and rice. It wasn't bad, but I overdid the lemon.

I dunno, if there is an extra special celebration, rather than go to a fancy restaurant there could be a case made for getting this instead. I am not wedded to the idea.

Wonder why he bothered with stevia 

[Diaz]

For iftar I had stuffed zucchini with mini pizza and orange juice, for suhoor I had the leftovers.

[Diaz]

Today for iftar I had fried kofta with potato and rice, for suhoor I had steak with rice and veggies.

 

Can you guys recommend me some food because I’m really tired of eating the same food again and again. I know I should say alhamdulillah but my parents are out of idea and don’t know what to cook, these few days I don’t feel like eating at all.

[notme]

We had lentils with rice and beef. It was pretty good. My son's friend was over and said my cooking is amazing. His mom cooks "fancy stuff". He appreciates that I cook "comfort food", or as I would call it "poor people food"..

Probably will have it again in the morning, with some fruits and coffee with milk. 

[Diaz]

For iftar I had molokhia chicken with rice, for suhoor I had from restaurant beef shawarma with fries. No drinks except water

Thick soup (not watery).  I saw some middle eastern vegetarian soups, but you could add bits of cook meat to the recipes if your family insists on eating meat at every meal.

Last night we had (store bought) bread with (also store bought) hummus and salad vegetables. "Cooking" was easy and quick and everyone was happy. 

[Diaz]

Yesterday we had stuffed grape leaves, I had it for iftar and suhoor. Today for iftar I had fried kofta with rice and fries, for suhoor I had leftover stuffed grape leaves and little bit of fried egg.

I've been really enjoying halloumi sandwiches recently, I don't think I prefer it to feta, but it is probably nicer for sandwiches.

[Sirius_Bright]

I had tortilla shawarma in Iftaar along with usual dates, watermelon, ginger warm water, etc. 

[Ansar Shiat Ali]

I had air, I am eating air, and I am going to have more air. 

 

Sorry, I just can't remember what I had.

Breakfast: rice with sage and pine nuts. It was a masterpiece, but my favorite photo upload site isn't working right now and the file is too big to upload directly. 

Photo description: leftover white basmati rice in a bowl, topped with crisply browned whole sage leaves and lightly toasted pine nuts, in melted butter/olive oil, with just a pinch of salt. 

I'm becoming quite a master of poor folk food. I just need to find a place to forage pine nuts.

I had a veggie burger on an English muffin with some white cheddar mac n cheese for dinner.

After I say my prayers tonight, I'm going to eat a few of my mom's chocolate chip cookies.

[Abdul-Hadi]

Tonight I ate a green salad with Makoto ginger dressing and just some penne pasta with roasted garlic sauce and Parmesan cheese. Nothing too complex, we don't usually cook complicated dinners on weeknights.

I think tomorrow I am going to make Red beans & Rice for dinner.

I really don't eat a lot of meat at all and can't actually tell you the last time I had any.

Sort of, my mom and sister are so I don't usually cook anything with meat when they're around but since my mom is going on vacation on Friday and I'll have the house to myself for a week, I'm probably going to cook myself a meatloaf.

I just don't eat a lot of meat anymore because when I was living in the other house from 2018-2020 I was legit eating either chicken or beef every single night. I've thought about looking into a vegan diet because I need to lose some weight, but a vegan diet involves really nitpicking all of your food to make sure that it doesn't have any meat or dairy derived ingredients and I don't think I'm that dedicated to do something like that and besides, on occasion I like a good burger or a meatloaf but that's getting increasingly rare these days.

Salam,

Yeah that's a good amount, even with that I found that you can get away with eating quite a bit and your body can deal with it. The longer the better really.

I lost 8kg for 3 months when I did it, plus I was walking 5 days per week, didn’t change my diet at all.

Yeah I've had good results too, but I'm a perpetual yo-yo'er, I tried to keep a spending diary this week, thinking that it would make me think twice before wasting money on food. But it didn't really help and now I have a little note book that reads more like a horror story by some child who hadn't properly mastered writing.

[Diaz]

Yesterday I fasted more than 16 hrs because my cousin came late for lunch.

Yesterday for lunch I made rice with beef patty, I had them with potato kibbeh and orange juice. For dinner I had one beef shawarma with Laban.

Assalam Alikum 

There are many Lebanese who cut off meat, chicken, and fish from their meals.  Is there a hadith that says if you don't eat meat for more than 40 days, that the hearts harden?

Muslims around the world would get frozen meat from the annual Hajj.  This is now the second year where the Hajj is only for the locals.

Is it haram for a Shia to eat meat from a Nasibi?

I have thought which they have cut off meat de to current economic crisis due to high rise increcreasing  of Fuel/Gas price which leads to increasing  price of everything  specially  meat & food products which also there is hadith about too much eating of meat , causes hardening  of hearts but in other hand there is a hadith from Imam Sadiq  (عليه السلام) which says that if a mulim (shia) doesn't  eat (halal) meat then he will become  immoral .

Quote

Regarding the causes of the destruction of the intellect , Imam Sadigh (عليه السلام), he says: "Whoever does not eat meat for forty days, his morals will be bad and his intellect will be destroyed"; (Bihar al-Anwar, vol. 63, p. 72) and Imam Reza (عليه السلام) said: "Excessive consumption of meat of wild animals and beef causes a change in intellect and confusion of understanding, dullness and forgetfulness"; (Mustadrak al-Wasa'il, vol. 16, p. 458)

Quote

The Holy Prophet ((صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم)) has stated: Whoever spends forty days on him and does not eat meat, he should borrows  from the treasury and eats meat; And also Imam Sadiq (عليه السلام) says: Meat arises from meat and whoever does not eat meat for forty days becomes immoral. Eat meat that enhances hearing and vision.

In Iran we just use meat which has been slaughtered in Iran or frozen meat which has came under Halal certification  from Brazil which don't  get a share of frozen frozen meat from the annual Hajj .

Any slaughtered  meat by Nasibi is Haram for a shia but in other hand slaughtered meat with any Sunni sect except Nasibis is Halal for a Shia.

FROM AFP NEWS
Lebanon Army Scraps Meat From Meals As Prices Skyrocket
By AFP - Agence France Presse
June 30, 2020

BARRON'S NEWSLETTERS
The Barron's Daily
A morning briefing on what you need to know in the day ahead, including exclusive commentary from Barron's and Marke[Edited Out]ch writers.

The Lebanese army has scrapped meat from all meals it offers to soldiers on duty as food prices skyrocket because of a deepening economic crisis, state media said Tuesday.

Lebanon is in the throes of its worst economic downturn since the 1975-1990 civil war, with poverty surging to now afflict around half of the population.

Although its currency is officially pegged at 1,507 pounds to the dollar, a shortage of hard currency has seen its black market value plummet to more than 8,000 to the greenback.

But it’s less on offer these days, said Hassan Bdeir, a 48-year-old trader polishing off his breakfast in a neighborhood cafe.

“Usually I’d have meat pastries. Now? No way,” he said, pointing to a half-finished bowl of ful, stewed fava beans with a side of vegetables.

“This is what we eat now. And even this, not just anyone can afford it.”

Many non Lebanese friends are trying to understand what’s happening in #Lebanon and what is changing. Here is a comparison between July 2019 approx, and July 2020. And the situation is only getting worse. pic.twitter.com/LtCSAFAj0C— Mohamad محمد (@monajem) July 1, 2020

“What you see in there now costs 5 million Lebanese lira,” he said — more than $3,000 at the official exchange rate.

“I’m literally seeing women crying in front of the shop window when they see the prices. Some come in and ask for less than a quarter pound of meat for the week. I give them a bit more out of charity.”

“You want to buy seeds; sellers only take dollars. You want fertilizers and chemicals for the crops; you can’t get them on credit but have to pay up front,” Bissat said, adding that he didn’t have enough funds to plant all the fields on his farm.

Even if conditions were better, he said, the country would still not be able to fulfill all its needs.

“Lebanon is self-sufficient in fruits and legumes, but not in dairy, meat and grains. Plant all of Lebanon with wheat and you still won’t achieve self-sufficiency,” he said.
