TEBASKI!

Guy who killed our moutons

Lord, what a holiday. Definitely kicks Christmas in the butt. So I fell asleep to three moutons (sheep) outside my door... along with lots of pee and poop (I actually couldn't go to the bathroom without stepping in it). Then I woke up to machetes hammering at their dead bodies. It was great! There was literally sheep blood outside my door. We killed three sheep: one for my mom, dad and uncle. Normally, my dad or uncle across the street would kill the sheep, but they were incapable, so my family hired someone named Mohammad to kill our sheep for us. I got to help butcher and cut the meat before cooking.

Then I got to wash the blood and sheep guts off my courtyard. Surprisingly, I was totally into it and not afraid at all. Then we had lunch and I have to say that it was definitely one of the best meals I've ever had.. definitely top 5 (yes, better than City Kitchen or Tratoria). We just had the ribs, liver, and heart and, oh my gosh, so so so delicious!!!! On the side, we had olives, onions that look like olives, expensive mustard (don't like mustard, but this was delicious), onion sauce, coos-coos that had the consistency and look of yellow rice, salad with balsamic vinegar (!!!), french fries, and fresh bread. OH.MY.GOSH.!! Can't even begin to tell you how good it was... it makes my mouth water just thinking about it. AND, no one can call me a picky eater anymore because I tried everything.

This isn't even half the meat

You'd think that's be enough for lunch.... not. After everyone finished and I thought I was going to die from over-eating, my mom brought out a large tray of fresh fruit (red apples, bananas, yellow apples, oranges, green apples, tangerines, watermelon, and papaya). ALSO, she brought out another large tray of, what looked like, every drink you can imagine. Needless to say, I need to lay down for awhile. Around 6ish, I started to get ready and put on my new clothes. Everyone was in their new clothes.. it was insane. People will easily spend $300 on new clothes for Tebaski if they have the money. I clearly didn't spend that much money for one night, but some of my friends spent $80 on their outfits... ridiculous. We then made our rounds to all the houses and people-watched for awhile. Because I was so full from lunch, my mom only shoved 2 pieces of pizza down my throat. We then spent the night hanging out with family and friends and asked everyone to forgive us for our wrongdoings. It was wonderful.
