Pardon me but life’s been in a busy, busy frazzle. And because I cannot let my blog stay so terribly static, here’s a quick one on a family gathering potluck that mine had a couple of weeks back on Hari Raya Haji, also known as the Festival of Sacrifice celebrated by Muslims all over the world — and of course, here in Singapore.
Needless to say, the dishes holding ground at our potluck were relatively Singaporean with the usual suspects like Chicken Curry, Chicken Wings, Mee Goreng, Beehoon and Satay (my image was unfortunately blurry) etc.
Nonetheless, it was a tasty and vibrant table of food up for grabs — and that’s just skims the surface of why we were all there. The main motive? To be with family. Not just the tight group that lives under the same roof as you do, but those who form the bigger picture. Sometimes, quite literally.
Food is just secondary. It is the gathering of family that is of primary importance!
Exactly.
