Short post today just about the end of the not eating. So as celebration of this my family made كسكس (coos coos) and I attempted to document it and now will explain the process.
So it starts with adding salt, sugar, pepper, lots of ground ginger, what I think is ground and dried bell pepper, a lot of olive oil, a little vegetable oil, cut up onions, a huge hunk of parsley, tomatoes, and two hunks of beef.
Then they cover it with a strainer type thing and simmer/boil it for 20 min. This is a terrible picture but it's the only one I have of the strainer thing...I guess use your imagination.
As that simmers they cut up carrots, cabbage, okra, potatoes, sweet potatoes. They add those with garbanzo beans and add water. They let that simmer for I think 1hr30-2hrs. Then they add the coos coos on top of the strainer and let that cook for a while....I got distracted at this point by showing my host sister Mulan in French. So anyways here's a picture of the final product....basically it was the best thing ever.
And then also a picture with me and the food in one of the traditional clothing pieces of Morocco that my host sister really wanted me to wear, a Kefta.
Leaving tomorrow for basically the best adventure of our stay in Morocco. Going to the mountains, the desert, Marakesh, and Essaouira (the ocean town equivalent of Cancun). I get to ride a camel through the desert!!! So pumped. Hope everybody is awesome!!
