Today is Eid-ul-Adha, the Muslim celebration of Ibrahim's willingness to sacrifice his son for god. In Pakistan, families that can afford it buy goats or cows in the days leading up to Eid and slaughter them after morning prayers. Each family keeps some of the meat, but much of it is distributed to the poor.

Here is our goat:

Man, cooking meat is easy, it would have been so tasty. But oh well, might as well share the goat joy.

yeah. can't get tofu around here. we actually found a chinese/thai restaurant serving tofu and were both pretty excited. i'm not a huge fan, but i do actually miss it a bit here.
