Here you can see Cleo eating her first meal after falling into depression, and also Fikadu, the excitable car buyer, and me at lunch with one of his friends, and a typical "fasting" lunch. http://s1144.photobucket.com/user/celebrateoften/library/?page=1 The Ethiopian Orthodox Christians are in the middle of their longest fast -- about 2 months. No animal protein is allowed. Children under 7 are exempt. Also pregnant women. If a person observes all of the fasts, s/he fasts half of the year. [Posted in FML 7746]
