Tonight a bunch of us went over to Jim and Jenny's for dinner. They made an enchilada-type dish -- it was completely delicious -- and once we were all halfway through it and praising their cooking, Jim revealed that it was "the meat of the goat." I've had several goat dinners here. It's pretty good, mostly like beef; the taste is a bit different and I don't love it plain, but mixed with other things (especially taco seasoning) you don't even notice the difference.
Our friend Moses from the clinic and his two younger siblings joined us for dinner, then watched the movie The Avengers with us. It was quite a hit! They LOVED the Hulk, especially the part near the end where he's bashing Loki on the ground like a ragdoll. They kept showing close-ups of the Hulk screaming and flexing his muscles, and Moses would laugh and say bas!! Enough!! His younger sister, who's still in elementary school, spent much of the evening peaking out from behind a pillow, but she was obviously enjoying it just as much as her brothers. At one point we paused the film for a minute, and explained that America doesn't actually look like that (we don't all live in houses like Stark Towers) and we don't all have that technology in our homes.... funny what idea people must have of America when they've only seen the ritzy side of things in action movies.
We assured them that this first film made enough money that they'll surely make a second Avengers, and we'll be sure to watch it with these guys.
Another film we think they'll like is Cool Runnings... looking forward to the next movie night!
