For Christopher

 

 

 

Recently I heard that my nephew, Christopher, is working in the meat department of a grocery store. This is the meat market, Guyana style. This particular cart is pulled by a donkey. Many carts are stationary in outdoor markets and only there on the days of the week when the market is open. We had dinner with the Ibrahims in Suriname last week. Sister Ibrahim prepared a delightful rice stuffed squash. We asked what was in it. She said, "meat". We asked what kind and she said, "meat". Who knows what we were eating? It was good, whatever it was.
