Don't Click On This Post If You're Fasting

I'm warning you, stay out.

Oh my god. You clicked on this post. In the MONTH OF RAMADAN. Don't you have any self-control?

Okay, so I know Ramadan ain't easy. But it's all about restraining your base desires. About BEING A BETTER PERSON. THIS IS NOT AN APPROPRIATE USAGE OF YOUR MONTH OF REFLECTION!!!!

Oh man. I got a little heated there. Gotta get my sabr on.

OK, fine. FINE. Now that you're here. I'll admit it.

For the last month, I've been taking 45 minutes out of every work day to bookmark all my favorite food pics in this draft.

Listen, I know it's probably not healthy, but meditating on this perfect breakfast soothes my raging caffeine headache.

I know that, nutritionally, this picture of French toast is worthless, but spiritually, it's very fulfilling.

Staring at this mac & cheese for five minutes every hour helps keep my energy up.

I'm eating this pizza with my mind.

This lamb biryani soothes my soul.

This spaghetti is Not Safe For Ramadan at all.

This cheese is perfectly melting, just like my brain.

I don't even like dessert that much, but I basically become a sugar addict during Ramadan.

This is basically a real-life look into my dreams.

This syrup is frankly so sexy it might actually be haram.

This plate of K'nafa would forgive me for my sins.

☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️

I'm getting tired now so I'm just going to stare at this picture of Jollof Rice for like half an hour.

I'm so far away from homemade grape leaves.

OR HALEEEEEEEEEEMMMMMM!!!!!

But honestly, even salad is starting to look good????

No. NO. HOW DID THIS GET IN HERE?

Don't imagine the flaky crust of a samosa busting open with spicy potatoes. Soon. Sooooooon.

Is it iftar time yet? 😭😭😭😭😭
