Friday is fasting day during this lent for catholics here in Dubai. In the morning, I did not eat or follow any meal on the food list of the perfect diet. When I arrived home in the afternoon, I drank a cup of milk and a glass of water. I watched the movie The Impossible, the true to life story of a family during the phuket, thailand tsunamin in 2004. Then, i watched Zero Dark Thirty, another true story of the fall of usama bin laden. That was about it and then i fell asleep until maybe 8:30 p.m. I did not feel hungry but forced myself to eat salad and oolong tea. Caren arrived and we cooked another healthy option recipe calle UKOY.
