So This Is Christmas

Merry Christmas is such an infectious feeling I like to feel that way all year around.

So if you are visiting just before Christmas, just after Christmas or even here on Christmas day I am sure you will find something of interest for you and in the spirit of Christmas.

It may be said that Christmas is no longer a celebration but this must be spoken by people that have never had trouble closing their eyes on Christmas Eve in an expectation of what maybe left for them on the carpet under the tree.

I continue to look forward to the surprise on my Grandchild's faces to this day at Christmas events.

Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas

Halal Rations Is The Best Solution

By Helene Norris


Many campers and several Muslims that join the military need to eat good meals that are still based on their religious beliefs. This meals are known as halal rations in their term. It should be easy, lightweight so that they can carry the meal whenever and wherever. As they can be assigned anywhere, this is basically the solution among these people.

This meal is applied most especially during war or disasters and humanitarian reliefs. As members of the Islam religion, they practice strict laws when preparing for their meals. It must be properly and correctly prepared. Some of these are vegetables, grains and fruits. The food are all healthy as part of the program and for the people to be healthy as well.

There will be no alcohol included and meats must be butchered following all the specific religious rules and regulations. Another thing to take note are the flavorings, colors and other processing aids which can make the food forbidden or haram in their own term. Additionally, it will be considered as dirty if it is processed using an unclean equipment and with forbidden ingredients.

Kosher meal is absolutely different from halal. Not all the practices of kosher are being practiced by the Muslims. A possibility of preparing the food with alcohol or other flavorings are forbidden among Muslims. Some processes are not acceptable like the way an animal is butchered may not be applicable for Islam religion.

This is the main solution among these people that are in mission. These are the ready to eat meal. The food is properly packaged to be eaten by them. It has snacks, mixed drinks and the main dish of course. They can choose to eat the food cold but they can all the time heat it using a flameless heater.

A person will only need to boil water in the container then drop the bundle in for few minutes. They can also heat the food through sitting it in the sun for half an hour or lay it on top of a hot engine for ten hours. The bundle is compact and lightweight making them very easy to carry. It can also be heated easily and quickly or just eaten cold.

The military people can either have them during combat or in the field. Some backpackers and campers have started applying its usefulness as well. This bundle is used and is greatly applicable when having long journeys as well. Some countries have set rules in preparing the food for their Muslim soldiers. The total bundles is dependent on the total number of people.

In preparing, religious requirements are not forgotten. There is no chance of any forbidden ingredients being mixed into the bundles as they use no preservatives. A military package will usually contain higher calories in order to give the soldiers the nutrition that they need to remain strong and active.

Producers also manufactures halal rations which have lower number of calories for non military people that want to eat this kind of meal. This may be available for soldiers and any person that needs a lightweight package and easy to eat meal. They strictly follow the rules in every preparation. The eaters can choose to eat it either cold or hot.
