    Crap. Kindly keep your superstitious beliefs to yourself and stop telling others what to do in their own homes. There is no tradition or culture great than God Almighty because Jesus Christ is Lord! Fire of the Holy Spirit take control.

    Can they warm food with microwave or use electric grill to cook their food? If microwave is allowed then they can use it to cook noodles like indomie. Cook a day before and microwave your food but that is if you have electricity or generator since most people are living in darkness.
