A colleague (and s’mores enthusiast) married his fiancée in the weeks before Ramadan, and graciously invited our staff to a celebratory lunch at his family’s home. While dozens of family and friends ate from shared platters throughout the house, we special guests (!) were seated around a dining table, and served enough food for a crowd twice our number.

A few highlights here, of broken bread and hearty congratulations.


Camel! Or was it goat?

An outrageous most generous portion of spaghetti.

And custardy, fruit-filled desserts.

After stuffing ourselves full, we headed out in gratitude,

and gave our best to the newly- weds.

Wishing you long and happy unions.
