the fatted calf

Ok, so it wasnt a fatted calf; but it was way cooler. We had ram for supper yesterday. The monastery has a bunch of sheep, and up until a couple days ago had 1 ram. But the ram was misbehaving, so it got its head cut off. Now thats hardcore disxipline. And i saw its head sitting on the table- with the horns and brains and all. It was really cool (and a little bit freaky). But was it ever tasty!!! By far, the best meal ive had while at the monastery. We had ram stew and then just like that with rice. And the joy around the table; it was really great.i was told though that the brothers always have to call someone from town to butchwr their animals, because they love them so much. Aw. So cute. Haha.
