Wah Wah Haay

October 26, 2007


Independence Day weekend is here. I still love this country.

This morning I was enjoying a lovely breakfast with my family when my host dad walked in and started sharpening some knives.

“Towuk” he said, making a slicing motion with the knife.

I really thought he was joking.

“Wah wah hay,” I replied with a smile.

Then when I was brushing my teeth they brought out a metal pan where the dead chicken laid and set it on the ground in front of me, and started pouring boiling water over its lifeless body.

“Awwwwww…” I said while they laughed at the American who felt sympathy for tonight’s dinner.

I have to admit though…plov with chicken is damn good…
