Our neighbors worry about us... so they brought over a little howlie (sheep) for us.

This is pressure cooked sheep with prunes, dried apricots and toasted almonds! Absolutely delicious!

Our very good friend Hamza and his family invited us over to eat... you guessed it! Howlie!!!

Howlie on a stick.. howlie on a plate... howlie on bread... bring it on!!!

Host family howlie dish... SOOOoooo good!

Noice the eggs on top... that is a very popular preparation here.

Oh look... the trash pickup company left a nice howlie sized bag for the discarded remains... how sweet.

I even think that the bag is recycled material... :)

AND... they left us a note with pickup instructions... cool.

The view from our friends rooftop in Ksar... notice the sheep skins.

They may think they are safe... but little do they know that Thanksgiving is around the corner... and one of them is going down!!! LOL!
