My work colleague brings me in mouth tingling leftovers during Ramadan - they are spicier than the usual food she cooks so I think she errs on the side of plenty when she cooks without tasting.

It makes me feel like a bit of a heel because she likes to see me enjoy them, which means I reheat & eat them in front of her....

She's having quite a hard time of it this year, tired, lethargic & looking forward to Eid more than usual. I think it may be the weather - what's Houston like this time of year? (she lived there until last year). She finds it grey & damp here, despite me rhapsodising about the beauty of subtlety in a British Autumn.

If we're still working together next year I am definitely going to try it - it seems to have worked well for you & it would be an interesting challenge.
