Today is l3id sghir, the holiday marking the completion of Ramadan. Everyone is out and about visiting each other, ingesting enough sweet tea and cookies to onset diabetes in a matter of hours. Thus far I have managed to avoid such nectarous excesses (not the case last year), strolling with my friends Abderrahim and 3ziz through the neighborhood to greet everyone, shaking hands and giving congratulations. I did, however, just return from my saintly neighbor Latifa's house, where she served a lunch consisting of an entire chicken literally covered with french fries. Nap time is imminent.

Mbark l3wayshir! Here in my corner of Tiznit we don't say mbruk l3id quite the same way you all do up wherever you are, but apparently we share some of the same grub at times--today every house I visited was cooking up the same chicken smothered in french fries. After leaving one house I happened to walk into another just in time to partake in yet one more chicken-fry feast.
Congrats on one year!
