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.

Ramadan 5: Chennette's Iftar or My Suhur 5

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…
