This photo was also taken on the first day of Tabaski. Traditionally, every family kills a ram, gives 1/3 to friends, 1/3 to the poor, and feasts on the last 1/3. John and I ate so much meat that day! My host family (from left to right: my host dad Ali in the blue boubou, my host mom Makhalat is behind him, my host sister Nangy has the pink blanket on her head, my host sister Zeinabou is wearing the yellow mulefa, me, and my host brother Hussein) and I are eating a tajine, or meat and sauce which is served with bread. This is how we usually eat: on the floor, around a communal bowl, and with our right hands. I'm wearing a new outfit that I had made for the holiday -- my host family flipped out when I walked out of my room that morning!
