PS-Ramadan

I totally forgot-following our culinary frolic through France that when we returned here it would be Ramadan. So when we made our first trip out to the grocery, it was odd and interesting to see that the entire mall was devoid of food (not the grocery, of course, but anywhere one might purchase and partake of food on the spot). That means KFC, McDonalds, Curry (my fave little Indian spot), Herfy's...you name it - all dark. In the middle of the day!

It makes sense, though, since fasting is the order of the month - from dawn until dusk. And, that old saying, 'when in Rome...' has real implications here. Even a non-Muslim foreigner can't be spotted eating in public; the offense can result in jail time for the remainder of the month.

I guess we'll be eating in...
