Preparing Ramadan Gift Baskets...3 days to go!

Tonights Menu was Spinach and Meat with Rice... I couldnt pass up on some fresh spinach bundles I saw at the supermarket fresh produce section, it was too good looking! Normally I make this dish with frozen spinach but what a Savory Extra UMPH when its fresh! Even the Cats enjoyed munching on the spinach leaves! After dinner I started preparing the Gift Baskets I have been meaning to start at least a week ago, but lazy as I am, never got round to it. Now Ramadan is so close and I of course must rush to finish them. Lazy Sultana! tsk tsk tsk...
