Late Night Eating

Tonight, like most of the other evenings,we taught at the center from 7PM until 9PM and then ate our evening meal. Our "main" meal is around 2PM in the afternoon. So far the families of the full time workers here have served us our afternoon meals. We are very thankful to them for lasgna, chicken divan, chili, meatball sandwiches (today).

This sets us up to be hungry late, after our classes are over. Tonight, the suggestion was we go out for kebob. Our host suggested we ask our students for place. I asked Zaid and Lina, a brother and sister in my advanced class, for a kofta place. Zaid's cousin drove Claire, Lina, and Jackson, and Zaid rode with us in a taxi to the restaurant, and even paid the fare!

The kofta was great! The five of us ate most of a kilo and a half (5 pounds) of mixed chicken & meat, pita, & hummus. Look at Jackson enjoying his food! That dude can eat! When he meets a good meal, he is on fire! Well, we are enjoying the food here in Jordan.

By the way our normal schedule usually starts at 10AM, and we seldom get to bed before midnight.

Grace and peace,
Michael
