...goody-bag was a ham, contraband in this Muslim nation, but for me a Thanksgiving staple. It was crying out to be scored, studded with cloves, slathered with honey and mustard and slowly roasted. A friend with connections to the American military food supply business had been good to us this year. I am already looking forward to the leftovers - if there...
Over time, we have become inventive foragers. Local wild mushrooms are a good substitute for porcinis in our cornbread stuffing. Market pumpkins roasted, peeled and pureed taste better than anything out of a can, and when mixed with maple syrup make an excellent pie.

But what they lacked is what...
...where, in some places, they have the tot system [paying workers in high-alcohol run-off from wine processing] up to this day, you go to areas that by 11 o'clock on a Saturday, people are already drunk and dizzy in the road. It's not doing any good to the citizens of this country. I think we have to take measures. Many people are not employed or do not have anything to do, so they spend their time in the tavern. They are not active, they are not useful. And there's the connection to crime - on Friday...
