THIS IS A GREAT SPOT IF YOU LIKE PORTUGUESE PERI-PERI CHICKEN COOKED BY THIS SOUTH AFRICAN CHAIN RESTAURANT. IT IS MY FAVORITE RESTAURANT!  Here is the menu in the UK: http://www.nandos.co.uk/themenu), which doesn’t differ much from the one I love in Dhaka, Bangladesh.

MY WIFE DID A WONDERFUL JOB OF BAKING AND DECORATING THESE CHOCOLATE CAKES.  I can vouch that they are the best chocolate cake I have eaten.  Hotel Dupont in Wilmington, Delaware makes a super Black Forest Cake, but that is in a different category!

WE WENT TO OUR HOUSEHELPER’S BIHARI CAMP FOR THIS CELEBRATION.  BIHARIS ARE KNOWN AS GOOD COOKS!

With the new uploading method I haven’t figured out how to post for later dates, so I will post enough photos for the rest of the year for my 366 days posts! Hope to spend some vacation in Nepal from Friday until after the New Year!

ROSANNA’S ARTISTIC ABILITIES REPRESENTED HERE!  The ISO was at 640 so the exposure was only 1/20th of a sec.  I should have upped the ISO to get a sharper photo.  So it goes!
