Ramadhan Mubarak & Labor Day

It is a long weekend for the United States for Sept 1 is Labor Day. This year it also coincides with the first day of Ramadhan where all Muslims around the world will be fasting from dawn to dusk for the whole month before celebrating Eid. I am taking this advantage wishing all muslim Ramadhan Mubarak.

This Malaysian-ised baked beans was my favourite when I grew up. I usually have it for breakfast but I think it is also good for sahur (or suhoor or sehri or sahari in other languages) which is an Islamic term referring to the meal consumed early in the morning by Muslims before fasting. It is easy and fast to make.

Baked Beans with Deep Fried Egg

Serves 2-3

1 can baked beans -I used Malaysian made which comes in tomato sauce.

1/2 onion, sliced

1 red chili, sliced

3tbsp ketchup, if you use the regular baked beans

salt & pepper to taste

2-3 eggs, deep fried

2 tbsp veggie oil

Happy 4th of July

Its a long weekend and Im wishing everybody Happy 4th of July!

It also means that we'r moving to the new apartment. Which will be without home phone and internet AND cable! Yup, we were too busy with other things that we forgot to apply for them. It sure doesnt help that att is not available there. So we are going to have a new email address and phone no hopefully by next Friday, the earliest date that they can come. I wonder if there'll be any 'free' internet access that i can use while waiting for ours to be installed. ;)

Till then, have a great long weekend. Dont drink and drive!
