5 Things Everyone Should Know About Ramadan! :)

Hahaha luckily if you come to Lebanon, you find these at any near Bakery, and luckily (again) you find a bakery every 3 minutes :P somewhere lol!

I have eaten much of this deliciousness, and not just over there. There are several Mediterranean restaurants in most cities of more than a few hundred thousand. Look for Greek ones as well, since they often serve the same fare.

Oh Larry you went everywhere!! :)

And I've eaten everywhere, too.

;-)

Hahahah Yes I have noticed! and I'm afraid that Mad Dogs was the last place ? or am I wrong ? hahaha

This is really off topic, but yes: Steak & Ale Pie, Scotch Eggs & five kinds of Ale. I love San Antonio's Riverwalk!

Edit:

Lol I would have cooked them for Ramadan actually, if only I knew, I said this, cause I've seen the pictures of the plate (Y)! :P haha..anyway...I think the thread came to an end :) almost

You CAN cook it? So are there foods you aren't allowed to cook or consume??

NOOOO.. I mean I would have cooked that plate if I knew the ingredients etc lol :) that's all I meant!

Larry, you've reminded me of my travels to Greece and Turkey. The food was delicious. Some of my favorite foods that I can remember from visiting there were the pork/lamb slavakia wraps and pita bread pizza.

Ohh haha. I was gonna say that would suck if you could only have certain foods.

Liz: love the different ways lamb is prepared in the mid-east, but my favorite is lamb curry

Britt: actually she would have not beeen able to make the scotch eggs, since they are wrapped in pork sausage

Wait, I thought black pudding is the same as blood pudding

Hmmm... Greek food. I spent last semester living in Greece, and let me just say that there is nothing quite so tasty as tzatziki.

But all of this talk is making me want to come visit you, Sunshine! Yumm, everything looks so delicious. How do you hold out all day knowing there are such amazing things ready and waiting to be eaten?! Lol, I'd be a drooling mess if I was there. :P

Larry you just love to tease ! Well there you go just gta make some changes with Hellons recipes :P and well...sigh*

NArphiii if showing you our plates would make you come visiiittt meeeee, I still have woah! plentyyy of delicious ones! And lol that's the point :P learn patience dear :P
EK!
<3

Hahaha hellion
thoughts?
and belive me its way harder without water :D

HEllon! hahahahahahaahahahah lol how sweet, omg 12 hours, I am impressed! very

edit:
wait were you asleep during them :P

A muslim friend of mine facebooked this week: "80% of hunger is water"

Hellon: my mom, from Ireland, used to make breakfast pudding, but she did not use bits of meat, just the blood. You're right, it had no consistency, but sure was delicious. I wondered by the black pudding tastes different.

HM this is the 1st day I do feel thirsty ! meh..really wants a very big cup of iced water!

on a side note; Larry! How come you NEVER came to Lebanon, I am very disappointed, you ain't leaving this world before coming here.. NOPES!

I'd have to really believe in the cause to be able to fast. A moment ago, I was thinking, "Maybe I should try fasting too..." but then I thought, "I just bought groceries yesterday," and now I'm going to make myself a biiiiiiig breakfast.

You guys should stop talking about food. Probably making fasting that much harder!

Haha well Janey, we are all full by now :P and lol enjoy your dinner!

We had grilled meat, lazangie, french fries and potatoe wedges...salad bla bla bla

Shine I had beaf n straganvvv along with pastaaaaaaa.

Ahlleeeeennnnnn wala!
(welcome as direct translation/ but as true meaning like; oohhh maan) LOL :)

Hope you enjoyed, but to be honest, I am eating less, than I usually do! I am happy about that XD

Omg Nana hahahahaa
me too
I find it soo confusing to translate! LOL

HMMMMMM
I missed this thread :P
did you tell them about the drinks and milk ice cream with hazelnuts and YUMMYYYYYY :P:P?????
don't tell me you forgot about it!
find a link to some picture YALLA!

(yalla means right away :P)

Lol no I don't find it confusing, which why I gave the direct and the right translation :P, I love to practice what I'm learning at my university hahaha...can't wait to graduate with my translation MA.. :(

anyway LOL I am sure that they know it :P hahaha the links I gave were for food I doubt they usually hear about! lol

----
omg unless you mean your white ice cream Syrian specialty! I swear every time I went to Syria I went just to have more of that !

Jane I was thinking the same thing. In my religion we fast when we really want to speak with God on another level, it's giving something up while asking for something through prayer. I'm dealing with something that would result in fasting right now, but I have groceries that will spoil soon. I'm like CRAP! I do the SAME THING all the time. I love food, it's so so so hard.

YA I mean our ice cream! bagh go to hell,,,you didn't link them :'( am hurt. am too lazy to go...search and link and dunno what for gods sake do that instead of meeeee
I didn't fast today :P
hehehehehehee
I was sick and I vomitted twice! lol
I ate ice cream :P syrups and pizza! how criminal lol

I am crap too Britt when it comes to eating I crave everythingggg

Fine fine.. that's the one I am talking about XD

YAY

MMMMWAH! :D

It wouldn't be so bad if I didn't love food. Lol. In high school I battled with an eating disorder, and mentally now I think fasting scares me more than anything, even though its not the same thing.

Lol Britt, really?
Fasting is hard, especially it is Summer now and I go to take summer lessons as well, so it is definitely hard :)

But it is benefitting at the same time! ;)
an eating disorder? this happened to me once, maybe last year as I remember, I took Carbon pills and dunno what, ughh.

I had a battle with anorexia for two years in high school, after I got help, I get nervous if I don't eat much, I'm so afraid that I will fall back into that disaster. I started overeating in an attempt to prove to myself I was better, and ended up gaining a ton of weight. It's really a stupid struggle! If I miss a meal, I easily lose a pound (I fluctuate a good 5-7 lbs a day) and so it freaks me out when I drop a bunch of weight at once, I know its due to not eating the way I should be. It's hard to explain. Big ramble is over lol

See summer could be easier to fast for me, I'm much busier. In the winter I make my roast and stews and big elaborate meals to keep me warm!! Haha

LOL
yeah but hey can you bear staying without water for more than 12 hours under the scorching sun??? and walking, losing lots of water, sweating without being able to drink?? :P

when I was little I had the same problem as you, I used to eat TOO much until someone told me how fat I am so I turned into a model! haha I began to follow diets and such and that made me lose lots of weight, and it was horrible how I used to faint everywhere lol :)

hmmm back to the topic, did you go to that link Nana has just given us? xD this ice cream is freakin' yummy, if oneday you come to Syria...go to "Castles" ..ask for a cup of it and melttttttttt :P:P
