friday's lunch


In honor of the LTC's momentous departure, our interpreter offered to bring lunch on his day off, friday being prayer day, and yes we work every other day, Mr Taliban doesn't take any days off I am afraid.
On the menu was goat, lamb and some camel. It took our interpreter a few hours to stalk a camel and hunt it down over a distance of a few miles, and then he had to drag it back and bring it over! Actually he got everything at a restaurant, and his mom even cooked some potato-lamb patties that were quite tasty. All in all a very tasty meal, and the nan (local bread) is outstanding! I will most definitely have to try out the few Afghan restaurants in Virginia after I get back.
