She's no Mabrouka

When I was living in Tunisia, I had a wonderful housekeeper. Every week day, she came and walked Libby. On Tuesdays, she cleaned. On Thursdays, she washed, ironed and cooked. And oh, could she cook! She thought it was plain Tunisian cooking, but I loved it. I fell into the habit of inviting a rotating list of colleagues over on Thursdays to share the bounty. Otherwise, I would have been eating for days.

This week was my maid's first week. She did a great job with the cleaning. I asked her to shop and cook on Thursday, and invited my neighbour and colleague, Paula, and her daughter Bemnet to join me. Paula's phone situation has been problematic and I took the picture of the empty table because I really didn't think she had remembered to come. 


Unfortunately for them, they did.
