A lot of people ask how the food is over here. True, when I was working in Logar, we did eat MRE's, (meals ready to eat), when we were out. But even there the food at the DFAC, (dinning facility, damn, the military has a different word for everything) was pretty good. Here's a look at our weekly menu here in Kabul, yum...

So thats it, very tasty and variety too. Also Friday, which is the Afghan's day of rest is our brunch day. Standard brunch menu at 10:00. Bon Appetit....
What a beautiful shot of the flag. I was in the military so I know they feed people pretty well when they can. MRE's are kinda like eating petrified, rubberized, dog food though if you ask me. I would never eat them and would only eat like the desserts or whatever and trade my main meal for someone's dessert. Luckily I didn't have to eat them that much, mainly during boot camp and during some war games.
