Two and a half years of blogging and I have finally come to my last post on this website.
The major changes that I previously mentioned have been completed, for the most part, which means that you can now visit my very own official website at DiaryofaMuslimGirl.Com, where I will be blogging henceforth.
Unfortunately, this also means that those of you who are subscribed to this website's RSS Feeds will have to subscribe again to the new one. I will also be getting back into my regular writing routine, something I am excited about after quite a period of absence!
On a last note, I would also like to thank those who have read and commented on this blog, day-in and day-out, and who continue to send me sweet messages. You guys always make my day, and I look forward to more exchanges in the future :)
See you on the other side!
Frost
Thursday, December 9, 2010
Over the weekend we had a thin layer of frost on the ground, which is about the most we've gotten so far. While I am counting my blessings that I don't have to trench through knee-deep snow - YET - I kind of miss that ethereal winter-esque look that we got so used to when we spent our holidays in Quebec City last year. I took advantage of the early morning sunshine by stepping out on the porch to take these photographs, and while they took mere minutes, my fingers were totally frozen by the time I came in.
I've heard rumours that we're supposed to have a huge winter storm this weekend, but I'll only believe the Weatherman once I actually see the snow falling for myself, and I am forced to take out my shovel.

Homemade Hot Chocolate
Sunday, December 5, 2010
I'm a big believer in the fact that everything tastes better when it is homemade. My brother-in-law gifted us a hot chocolate-maker the last time he visited, and it wasn't until yesterday, when the temperatures finally dropped and really made it feel like the harsh winter chill had arrived in Canada, that my sister took it out and promptly put it to use.
With a mixture of whole milk, melted dark chocolate, and cream, and lots and lots of waiting, we finally had four steaming cups ready for the each of us. The fact that it doesn't have any whipped cream and sprinkled chocolate shavings on top only goes to show how impatient we were to drink in the chocolaty goodness without wasting even a second.
