My mum can cook but it’s definitely not her passion, she learned after getting married. My daddy is the gourmet chef in the family, in his free time he totally takes over the kitchen, but he can’t really cook Pakistani food, go figure. Food photography sounds interesting - have you considered doing it professionally?
Interesting that you mention Islamic architecture because the mosque in my city was built from the ground up in a blend of Islamic - Moorish and Greek architecture, quite a beautiful. Their library definitely needs more books though. There is a locally sponsored Islamic literacy initiative where the IC is looking to expand community outreach through Arabic classes, Islamic history and calligraphy. It’s targeted towards both Muslims and Non Muslims alike. I think that it will make people interested in the Islamic Center while also bringing them towards Islam as a religion.
Good luck on convincing them on the lucky penny, kids these days getting really smart with the money. i really worry about my youngest cousin, as the baby of the family she is totally spoiled and incredibly smart, a lethal combination
