Islam is the light which shone from the dawn of humanity. To bring humanity into the right guidance. To know what is right and what is wrong - Yusuf Islam          The Muslims Have got Islam as a legacy; hence they fail to recognize its value - Muhammad Marmaduke Pickthall          We need spirited, energetic and strong young people whose hearts are filled with life, enthusiasm, zeal and dynamism; whose souls are full of ambition, aspiration and vigour and have great goals, rising and aspiring to reach them until they eventually arrive at their destination - Hasan al-Banna          Love cannot fully express itself without hatred for its enemy and our hatred of falsehood must be proportionate to our love for the truth - Maryam Jameelah           We must begin looking at each other as brothers and sisters…..and not walking brochures. We must see each other’s strengths and encourage those strengths…..We must see each other’s weaknesses and be patient with those weaknesses…..sometimes even look beyond what we see as weaknesses and move on with compassion and love and respect. That takes true faith - Dawud Wharnsby Ali          Those who know they do not know, know that, to know is to know what they do not know - Ibn Sina          Education is our Passport to the future, for tomorrow belongs to the people who prepare for it today - Malcolm X          I looked at all friends, but did not find a better friend than safeguarding the tongue. I thought about all dresses, but did not find a better dress than piety. I thought of all types of wealth, but did not find a better wealth than contentment in little. I thought of all types of good deeds, but did not find a better deed than offering good advice. I looked at all types of sustenance, but did not find a better sustenance than patience - Umar bin Khattab (R)

Absolutely Vile!!! ... yet so tasty ... read on

Salams all
yes my dears, the emu is back on the web (it's hard to keep off, even with pocket monsters on the lose).
anyhow, to continue with my title ... this vileness i'm talking about is the shelling of ilish machh. if any of you shud b forced to do such an act, make sure that u wear full body protection for your own sake, if u don't want shells flicking on ur clothes and hair ... and having mentioned the flicking, i feel the need to utter - "aaaaaarrrrrrgggggghhhhhh ... get 'em offf!!! get 'em offf!!!"
HOWEVER, it all pays off after the cooking period. mmmmm, ... the smell of freshly cooked ilish machh...
and that was my vile, yet tasty experience in the beginning of my 6 wks holiday. how about the rest of u?

Lordy! Can't decide what's worse- removing the scales and cleaning or having to eat an Ilish!!
I was trying to cut a chicken into pieces, and I swear- I had an all out war with it! It refused to be chopped into little pieces!!

haha, fish looking at u ... that's a funny notion (to me) ... good one, malu (hope u don't mind the nick)
poor modhu. i know how u feel i washed my hands over and over again and thought that the smell went along with half the moisture of my hands, but was soon dissapointed.
tip for yow on cooking ilish mach (if she shud ever dare to give it a try) - don't wash it more than once, or if u have to, twice. it gets rid of the smell. i love the smell of ilish as much as u, btw.

Guess who, its fishy ishy to the rescue to talk about what else but fish!

Fish and mangsho all stinx so much that if i c it while its raw i cant eat it while its cooked. And especially fish with eyes still there (like choto maach or white bait and macher mathat - some ppl like it!), I feel like they're looking at me! AAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

But if I dont see em while they're raw i LOVE em! And ilish maach smells nice AFTER its cooked. Whats rong wif that? U ppl r weird! Amader jatio maach ke diss korba na! lol
