I'm fasting ARWEN... IT Seems that you have good Moroccan culinary skills ,I'm impressed

Well of cause you are fasting, Romdhanek mabrouk w tkabla allah siyamakom, from sunrise to sunset. I have muslim friends who are doing Ramadam so I know this. Even you I think cannot last the whole period of Ramadam with no food (unless you are some kind of super-man) I think you should let a loved one cook this for you....no better idea ...you cook it for your loved one.
