Tabaski





We were invited to celebrate the Muslim fete of Tabaski with several friends in the neighborhood. The celebration is for remembering how Abraham was willing to sacrifice his son in obedience to God. Each family kills a sheep and the food is shared between neighbors, friends and family. We had lunch at Marietou's, couscous and of course mutton. It was deliciously prepared and fell off the bone. Then we went to Tom and Lorrie's friend Muhammed's for some drinks and music. Afterwards on to the Manee's, our closest neighbors and good friends. More drinks, more snacks and then we rolled home fat and happy. The dog has barely moved since eating all day yesterday.
