TheSix Eid entertaining
Be the host with the most this Eid Al-Adha with these thoughtful tips on keeping your limited number of guests comfortable despite the soaring temperatures.
Throw some
shade
In absense of shaded parking, putting up large parasols can go a long way in keeping your guests’ vehicles
from becoming unbearably hot.
Keep kids
busy
As the outdoors is off limits, set up
a table with fun activities for younger
guests so their parents can get some
time off.
A chilly reception
As temperatures peak, a chilled glass
of tamarind juice or an ice cold date
milkshake will ensure a sweet start
to the festivities.
Cold cravings
While Eid Al-Adha
festivities are all about traditional rice and meat-based
dishes, be sure to offer up a refreshing
salad too.
Cool down
Store disposable moist towelettes in the fridge before your guests arrive and offer them up as they walk
in for a little hotelstyle service at home.
Sweeten
the deal
As for dessert, the summer calls for a cold dish to be served
up. Chilled rice pudding, mahlabiya or kulfi ice cream are
all popular options.
