We had a boodle fight at the cabin.
While that might sound like a bad
thing, it’s quite the opposite.
Boodle fights originated as a
tradition in the Philippine military and symbolize equality and brotherhood
among ranks. Generous portions and a wide variety of food are served over
banana leaves, often layered atop a bed of rice, and are typically prepared for
special occasions or gatherings.
In our case, we were celebrating the
birthdays of a couple of girls, and the table of food—set up in the daylight
basement of the cabin—was a lovely display of rice, seafood, pork skewers, and
fruit. The feast was followed by games of bingo and cards, and a John Wick
movie projected onto the ceiling in the cabin loft.
