Ramadan 2012

This may look like a staged photo shoot, but her hair is blowing from the strategically placed AC vent (= This is a bag of generic "break your fast" take-away bundle available all over town from about 45 mins before the Iftar meal. It cost $3
The Coffee Shop on the left is where we bought the fried food in a bag...the store next door is my usual fruit stand...drive up, honk, give your list, get your fruit and veg, pay your food and STAY IN THE CAR WITH THE AC! While America may be cleaner, more convenient and more predictable, as a mom with young kids this is pure luxury!
Our first meal in our house! Tom was fasting for Ramadan as usual so we ate dinner at sundown with him to break his fast.
This is from the pink bag of food be bought for $3. Chock full of all sorts of fried stuff....we even found a WHOLE fried boiled egg!
Rotissere chicken, salad and homus...not traditional ramadan food but you can't beat it for a $5 meal for the whole family!
Just had to include the afternoon snuggle!

The malls on the other side of town are all decorated for Ramadan much like we do for Christmas. This prayer was so interesting!

 
Like the encouragement to "Be Devout"? So many parallels between the religions of Islam and Christianity.
