I was thinking about this post yesterday at sundown. I had to do an errand at a store run by West African Muslims and I arrived just as the personnel were sitting down to break the fast. One guy hadn’t started eating yet so he was able to help me, but I still felt like a jerk. Anyway, there was some serious red rice with meat and fish about to go down. On 116th St. in Harlem you can really feel the presence of Ramadan as most of the shops and the folks on the street are Senegalese, Malian, Guinean etc. As the sun was coming down there were vendors setting up outside the masjids with “nyamankoudji” (a sort of ginger brew) and “bissap” (a purpleish drink from a kind of leaf) and little balls of sweets. It was lovely.

For any NYers living near jackson heights and not wanting to cook for the break fast, you can get a kind of take – out iftar container that has a little bit of everything from dates, samosas, pakoras, chana etc and it’s about $8.

I suppose i can eat someting in about 15 min. thought i'd share my experience. this wasnt a religious thing for me. i think fasting is a good form of penance.

around 7 i had two slices of melon, two slices of farmer's bread, a large bowl of steel cut oats and a cup of green tea.
around 8 i kept the cup around and found myself sipping from the tea (now cold). I said toba toba and promptly poured out the tea into the sink.
around 2 i was getting sluggish. did some pushups.
around 6 i thought, hmmm i need a diversion so plonked in and dropped a note on enis' post.
now... i dont think i can go run, but i will enjoy a nice wlak in the park and put something in the oven to start dinner off.

On the whole a very good day. I know I waste time through the day thinking about, selecting, leaving for food or drink or clean ups. so i was glad this wasnt even an option. I feel very productive.

tonight i will have grilled shiitake and potatoes with red lentils . yum.

i’m down for a one day mutineer fast. who is going to set it up?? happy navarathri and happy ramadan on a random note– bay area mutineers should have some serious deepavali party with fireworks and the like in october…

Let it be heard here first: Big-Bellied Brownz Without Bread. How hard is it to set up? Send me an email, I’ll put you on a big ol’ BCC list so you can feel like you’re part of a community that periodically does not eat well. Or “does not eat”…well.

some of us fast for Shivaratri too-- and we have to stay up all day/night with no fun feast in sight!! but it's all good. i still love it cause it's a powerful holiday. i always look forward to my 7am bowl of ceremonial honey-nut cheerios.
