Over-Eating & Other Vices in Ramadan

Why is it that alot of people gain weight in a month where you are supposed to eat much less? Obviously, the main reason is that we hardly eat healthy in Ramadan like what Nestle recommends here.  I never watched what i ate, or made a conscience decision not to eat “junk” in order to stay healthy.  But isnt it ironic that a reason for fasting in Ramadan is to “feel” for the underpriveleged, yet our dining tables when we break our fast bear more resembelance to a banquet? How about people staying up to the early hours of the morning “to pray” at sunrise and then sleep through noon prayer or other prayer times during the day? It has been noted by professor’s at Cornell University that there are certain “table manners in Islam” that we may not be following.

Local Comic Relief

I have uncovered the latest gem using the local talent agency which this blog is becoming. The above comic is done by one of our commenters here Miss Good Egg, who also has her own blog which you can go to here. The comic itself is a true portrayal of how people are before the fast officially begins. She will try and post a comic once a week.

Thank You Little F****r!

That was the last item on the check of a family with their 2 year-old daughter, dining in the newly opened Cactus Joe’s  in  Halifax. It seems the daughter was hungry and getting restless at the slow service, so the waiter’s decided to give them a surprise on the bill.

They even managed to misspell little to “littell”.
