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…
So, tell me, am I the only one who sometimes can’t eat after fasting?

I’m the same. I find it difficult to eat alot when opening my fast and get full very quickly. I end up eating portions less than what I usually eat for supper.
this doesn’t usually happen to me until the last half of the month.
maybe i’m getting better with old age
Well… you do eat little but the worst is when you are invited for iftar and you cant eat much and people have prepared alot!
hmm…thankfully most iftars occur at masjids…so that we not going to people house and refusing to eat…just in the massive packed places, people okay with how much ever we take or don’t take because it so much of us
