SE7EN

Seven ayat for al-Fatihah. Seven wonders of the world. Seven days of the week. Seven continents. The Seven Sisters. Seven hills of Rome. Seven deadly sins.

And now, Adek’s lists of sevens.

Seven Things (And More) You Won’t Find In Adek’s Fridge/Kitchen

1. Eggs - I don’t eat eggs in their form but I do eat cakes or ice-cream that have eggs in them (what can I say, I was bullied into eating eggs when I was small - that’s for being the seventh and youngest child in the family)
2. Bread – not after a five-year boarding school bread diet surely! – and, by extension, jam.
3. Coffee – ‘cause I’m English, not American
4. Oyster sauce – never get around to buying it and have so far managed to live without it
5. Tomato ketchup (same reason as oyster sauce) and chilli sauce (‘cause I associate chilli with spiciness although I know chilli sauce is usually mild)
6. Flour – not about to start making dough, cakes or cookies any time soon!
7. Fiery chillies (the pint-sized chillies)
