To all my muslim friends, I hope you will all have good time, in all the senses of the word; reflecting, fasting, praying, and enjoying the friendship and bonds of your families.

Thank you, Aafke! Same to you! You’re a wonderful friend.If possible come over to Singa island and experience Eid here
Happy Ramadan to you Aafke and your family ,thank you for your kind sentiments
Lat, How I would love to join you for iftar! It’s just a bit out of my way……
Daggero, thank you for your good wishes. I’m not muslim so don’t do Ramadan. I did it last year though… I wanted to do it for a week out of solidarity, but then I got pulled into it by Carol as she was ill and couldn’t fast and I did the whole month for her. I enjoyed the first two weeks and it made me very ill the second two weeks. I hope all my suffering will have gained bonuspoints for Carol though…
And my enjoying the first two weeks wouldn’t have detracted…
As I am not muslim and thoroughly evil, I am considering writing exclusively about food, drink, snacks and yummie recepes over the next few weeks…
Hi aafke,
send some yummy vegetarian recipes my way ..
F fasting , so we try not to indulge with him around. I do a pared down fast with him, I skip the food but do the water/juice/tea fast.
Best wishes to you and that’s nice that you kept to the fast inspite of being ill, definite brownie points for you and carol
Radha, I will put up some nice vegetarian ones!
I did skip a few days of fasting as I got really ill, but I made them up later.
Much later…
In winter in fact…
when the sun rises at 10.00 and is down at 16.30
Thanks Aafke. Very nice of you to send us Ramadan greetings.
I know! I’m so sweet!!!
Have a good month yourself as well… and if you write about food that’s OK – make sure to include the recipes! I am always on the hunt for good veg recipes that are also yummy.
Sadly most veg recipes are not very filling.
Haleem, I will try to, very busy again!
Perhaps you should add some extra virgin olive oil, that helps making a meal much more filling.
