lol i think brothers don't like to cook cuz maybe they have their sistes, mothers, wife, cook for them, so no need to cook for themselves.

Re: Soo.. who's eating what 2ni8?..
I had iftaar with my extended family yesterday. My phoophi (dad's cousin - my aunty) made so much! We had prawn covered in those breadcrumb thingys, watermelon, honeydew, bazaar samosas, pastry, chocolate crackles, lemon sherbet, ruavza (sp?), chicken, afghan bread, black chenna...I think that's it. The adults even had dinner afterwards (!)

Excellent reminder sis Daffodil. :thumbs_up Among the purposes behind fasting is so that we realize that there people who deal with poverty year round and barely have enough to feed themselves.

Re: Soo.. who's eating what 2ni8?..
yeah thats true we shouldn't stuff ourselves like turkeys before just because there are all sorts of foods on the table.
here's my strategy (and it prevents stomach aches so u might want to try it)
for iftaar first thing i do is drink a glass or two of cold water then have about 3 dates
then you eat a bit of the appetizer like the salad or soup or something light
then you have a bit of the main course
dont overdo it cuz you'll get a tummy ache....i know from last year's ramadan experience....just keep it light

^ I just usually skip the main course altogether, like Sis Daffodil said, Ramadhan isn't about just stuffing ourselves. So I usually just have a few glasses of drink and some samosas or something like that.......Fruit usually. And then I just skip dinner.

Re: Soo.. who's eating what 2ni8?..
I agree. In fact I am certain that the strange cakes I was then trying to eat, and managed to finish before dawn eventually were an amount of food that in the daylight I could have scoffed down with ease. But in the dark food needs more thought to digest. It is a fact that the Human digestive system is most active between 10am and 2pm. That is when the production of hormones for the stomache and liver work is highest. So we all could want to eat lots the first few nights of Ramadan, from imagining that we will never get through the day without extra and night: but then we all feel sick because we can not digest so well at night, and realise that stuffing our tummies only makes for hungrier daylight experience;
Since I have been living alone for a while now: after years of being responsible for three meals a day for my children: at this time while my children are at their dad's house, I just can't seem to find reason to shop for food or cook much; so the transition into Ramadan is simple. Already I am usually eating only one meal each day; so the water fast is the stronger effect.
Also I am noticing that when I only eat and drink in the dark, that I want to sleep during that 10am to 2pm period. I wonder about that. Most people are healthiest with about 7hours sleep in 24. Also sleep occurs in four hour cycles towards the end of which period all the REM sleep occurs in which Dreams are vivid. I am almost always waking up just before four hours of sleep, then going back to sleep for another period of slightly less than four hours. While only eating in dark I tend to sleep for one period of about three and a half hours in dark; and then another period of about three and a half hours in light. I usually am only in REM sleep for a very small portion of that(that is why I write a bit mental at times; the doctors reckon we need more REM sleep for sanity that I am usually receiving; but then we miss out on what aspects of that frame of mind can be better placed in the external world of physical senses; plus if any black magic gets in my sleep I jolt awake to refute it as impossible)
was that the one third a belly full of air that farted out of my finger tips just now typing?
since I last posted I only ate the rest of the strange cake stuff; then felt obliged to sleep less, but went and got another coffee before light and smiled in the direction of some old street bum who wanted to know why I was so happy, so I talked to him and he cheered up considerably: he was one of those many grumpy Aussies who like to be rude and inflame debate as though they do not believe, but truly only so as to find new means to sustain belief in Allah. After that I could not help but sleep.
Ramadan Kareem (better had I find out what "Kareem" is meaning)!mu'asalam

Bread! The bread that I put aside for just before dawn and missed is now dinner. I am happy and not especially hungry but last night I had a big feed with the homeless folk in the city from one of the charity soup kitchens. Left over soup kitchen bread is for tonight.
mu'asalam
