Re: What did you have for Iftaari/Sehri
we have ramadan practically daily at our house, so there is no special month for it. since the babies came, we woke and slept as in a trance. it's a bit better now they're older, but we still have to get up in the middle of the night for feedings. so, there's sahaer right there, mayne a glass of water, milk, whatever. time is of no matter, it's whenever they feel hungry. could be 2am, could be 7. of course, if it's 7, we just have breakfast (cereal, sometimes breakfast potatoes) and get down to the day's work. for supper, i.e. iftaar, I pick up a Big Mac or maybe chinese and eat it on the way home. Wife usually has nothing coz she's too busy handling the babies. Then we jointly feed the babies, diaper, change, and go out for dinner, nowadays its mostly pizza from the hut or giordanos, but it could be anything really, depending on the mood. Never mexican or african food though, we both don't like those. During the day, if either of us is hungry and time allows, we snack on some nutrigrain bars or whatever, nothing major, a sip of H20 maybe. So that's our fast. Interesting that people have pakoras tikkas etc. I couldn't afford that kinda time. the first few days of ramadan here, the wife switched on a Quran CD for a bit. said it helped with the "atmosphere" and to kinda get the children introduced to the practice of religion. don't know if she's still doing it though.

Re: What did you have for Iftaari/Sehri
It wasn't quite iftaari, but I had Popeyes chicken (chicken sandwich, shirmps, biscuits, and pop). For the record, the chains in Toronto serve meat purchased from Muslim butchers/stores.
Re: What did you have for Iftaari/Sehri

Re: What did you have for Iftaari/Sehri
It sure does! Luckily, I've got about 3 close by. One is less than 10 mins away. The second one is about 15 minutes away, whereas the third one is 20-30 mins away.
