Ramadan 5: Iftar 4 and Suhur 5

Yes, yet again, another last minute post as I rush off to get in before the next Iftar.

It seems Ramadan has set in early.
After our iftar (left-over kibbe, the frozen chocolate chip cookies that we’d left for chennette baked, dates and…tada! same nice neighbour sent us fish pies), I didn’t eat dinner.

I just couldn’t.
Or didn’t feel up to it.
I had m&m’s but no dinner.

I was all eager to try what Chennette cooked for us (Alton Brown’s not braised chicken and fettucine in mild tomato sauce) but didn’t need it. So weird.

And I conked out at 10pm and didn’t wake up until 3:30am…and wasn’t even starving.
I’m perplexed.

So, when I woke up for Suhur, guess what I warmed up.

It was good. Soooo soft was the chicken.
I just want you to know, I’m not really one of those people who needs a real meal for Suhur. Usually something light. But I guess no dinner produces these moods for food.

Oh well…I’m rushing…pizza to make…will try to post promptly…

Blogging at Ramadan.co.za

Hey, all.
I just started blogging at Ramadan 2008 Community Website.

For the most part, I’ll be cross-posting the Ramadan stuff so it won’t necessarily be different stuff, but you never know, I might get *inspired*.

My first post just really links to the day-by-day coverage that’s been going on here.

There are about 14 other contributors so…go have a look.

(Also! I know! I haven’t posted on Ramadan 5 yet…camera’s downstairs…and I’m gonna sleep now).
