It feels so good to recite Quran on a parish. Almost as good as it is to recite the Adhan in a newborn's ear whose parents are non-Muslim. Subhanallah.

After the class on Andalusia (btw, beautiful class - it was small and was comprised of mostly Latino converts to Islam. It is inspiring to see such a growing Muslim community explore their Islamic/cultural history and roots), my Aunti friend suggested we visit several grocery stores to make sure that I eat properly. Eating properly means eating organic foods. She wanted to teach me how to shop wisely and get the most for my money, so she took me to Whole Foods, Trader Joe's, PW Market and Nob Hills (we don't have any of these stores in Ottawa) to show me which stores sell organic produce at good prices. She explained how sales work here and which brands to look out for. What a dear, eh?
