No More Baked Goodies
My neighbor and I have been passing back and forth food. A couple of times around 9 pm (their time for eating dinner) a small dish of their dinner will show up at my house. Usually VERY spicy, but delicious. I in turn have been taking over baked goodies-- banana bread, cookies and yesterday, muffins. But yesterday she kindly asked me if my food was halal. I asked her what are haram items that I may not know about that I could have put in the muffins. She said "pig meat and alcohol". I assured her that neither of these were in the muffins. I asked her where one might find these items here in the city. She said you can't. I understand that if any of these products were used in my kitchen at any time, any of the food that I made would be haram. My kitchen would be considered halal since I do not use any of these products in my kitchen. I told her she didn't need to eat the muffins if she was worried.

It sounds difficult to be "neighborly" when in such a different culture! Please feel free to bake us muffins anytime! =)
Very interesting! So I assume you are planning on staying away from pig meat and alcohol.
