Question
I ate cakes, and more than an hour has passed, and I still haven't recited the after-blessing. Can I still say the 'Al HaMichya' blessing?
Answer
As long as seventy-two minutes have not passed, you should recite the blessing. And even if they have passed, as long as you are not hungry again, you should recite the blessing.
