Off Topic Spurlock's Ramadan Diary 2018

It can vary with the different ways of calculating it but never more than 1 day.
If I am reading her correctly she is implying that as for as you are concerned Ramadan is over and she is up for a quickie in the photocopier room. Probably best to take the lead and make the first move.

 

Last few days and the iftaari invites are coming in thick and fast.

Was out at a friends last night, loads of variety of food but couldn't eat much (as usual in last few days). Highlight was fresh goat curry, as in he had gone to a farm, slaughtered a goat then cooked it

Home tonight but out again next few days.

 

I'm out tonight, Tuesday, Wednesday for Iftar...gotta squeeze the meets in

 

CBA mood so... McDonald's (kids choice)

 

I probably like goat meat the least, I think it's the smell, even when cooked. I've witnessed a goat, cow and camel being slaughtered out in the middle-east on Eid. The camel was interesting to say the least... fck off big sword from underneath!

 

Takes about 3/4 filet o fish before I feel a difference

 

Crazy init...whilst they stood up aswell..mad ting

Chicken n Lamb will do me

 

and I like a bit of beef too.

 

Ahh yeah beef, mutton on occasion too...what I mean is not a goat or a Camel.

 

Yeah. Really fancied camel meat then saw the white spear thing and couldn't

Back in Pakistan/India/Kashmir goat is the staple. I find it less fatty and less smelly than mutton tbh, curried anyway

But the whole from field to plate in a day is a big difference in taste imo. I buy meat from a butcher as and when, hate freezing meat. But even then who knows how long it's been slaughtered before butcher gets it

 

Have you ever tried camel milk?

 

I haven't...am I missing sumt?

 

He did...until he discovered he was 'milking' a male

 

It's supposed to be really good for you, apparently enough as a meal.

I want to try it and nearly bought some from Birmingham, but it's frozen

Ive had goat's milk, buffalo milk and cows milk but not camel

 

I'm a bit boring like that..I've had cows milk and a milkshake from McDonald's

 

Fella at work was telling me during the last 10 days of Ramadan they have alternate 'special' days. I thought he meant where they'd have a massive party and stuff their faces but he just meant extra prayers.

Graft.

 

Yeah the odd nights, so 21,23,25 etc

One of these nights is cited as being the night of power on which worship is rewarded many times over (in a nutshell)

Many people do "itqaaf" which involves cutting off from the world by staying in a space in a mosque and just praying, reading Quran etc. Family members bring food and leave it. No worldly talk or leaving the mosque (bar emergencies)

 

I aim to do that one day

insha'Allah

 

Inshallah

Come do it with me. I know the perfect mosque

 

Maybe with advanced planning, it can be done Fan
