apropos of anything

Y’all. Ramadan Mubarak. This is going to be the BEST. RAMADAN. EVER.

How do I know?

Because of the cookies. The cookies, they are a sign.

Today after sunset I went to Walgreens — not my usual Walgreens as for some bizarre reason I picked the one that is closer to me but completely out of my way to send the photos to this time — to pick up my pictures from Musab and Abby’s wedding. I was chatting with Dave, who I’d called to wish Ramadan Mubarak and to laugh at his comment on the cookie post, when I saw the Fresh Market next door to the Walgreens.

Yesterday when hunting for Whole Foods phone numbers, Alicia had mentioned Fresh Market carries Nabisco Famous Chocolate Wafers. I figured I’d give it a try.

It’s a cute little shop, smaller than Whole Foods but with the same type of groceries and more of a general store kind of feel. I scanned the cookie aisle and saw the Nabisco Nilla Wafers and the Ginger Wafers, but not the Chocolate Wafers… until I looked up two shelves.

There they were.

Obviously, the icebox cake was meant to be made for Ramadan this year. It is going to be a good Ramadan, insha’Allah.

Now if only I can find that new mosque around the corner….
