I love these pitas, as well as the cool evenings that accompanies them.

Danae, here is the recipe you requested! Note it has quite a few variations from the recipe I sent on Facebook. I just finished eating one and thought I would like it a little sweeter, but you know I like anything sweeter than most folks. Alice just told me she wanted something fat free, sugar free and high fiber, and is still experimenting.
2 C. Mashed Bananas 1/2 C. Whole Wheat Flour
1 1/2 C. Oatmeal 3 tsp. Baking Soda
1/2 tsp. Salt 3 Eggs
1 C. Yogurt 1/2 C. Honey
1 C. Roasted Chopped Pecans 1 1/2 tsp. Vanilla
2 C. Bran
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Combine dry ingredients. In another bowl, mix the bananas
with the liquids and stir into the dry ingredients, just until moistened. If the final mixture
doesn’t seem dry enough add some more flour. Spoon into greased muffin tins and bake
until light brown, about 20 minutes.
I was going to feature today’s blue moon, but decided to post the muffin recipe instead. The moon doesn’t really look blue but was given this name because it was an extra full moon and needed a name. It refers either to the second full moon in a month (This month on August 1 and 31), or the 4th one in a season (Winter, Spring, Summer or Fall). The moon cycle is 29.5 days. With either method the next one will be in 2015. This is why there is the saying, “It only happens once in a blue moon (Every 2-3 years)!”

Enjoy the Blue Moon and the Muffins!
It was special to go to Platinum Suites in Banani with my good friend for their breakfast buffet! The buffet included omelets, beef bhuna, chicken sausage, pancakes, sauteed potatoes, alu bhuna, conjee soup and other items.

My friend? or Friends? Oh, it’s a reflection!
WE SURE ENJOYED THESE EGG SANDWICHES prepared in Old Dhaka.
NUTRITIOUS AND TASTY STREET FOOD!
ROASTED CORN-ON-THE-COB IN KOLKATA near New Market. It is not the same as corn-on-the-cob in the U.S. but has similarities. I’m not sure it is sweet corn, and also it is great with some hot spices sprinkled on the ear.
HERE IS SOME OF THE TASTY CURRIED CHICKEN THAT was served at Shudipto’s wedding reception last Sunday evening at the Party Place in Dhaka near the Police Line. I arrived early, since I hadn’t judge exactly the time to get to that area of the city. I arrived with a camera, so the guys at the entrance asked me something and I said sure. They had been talking to fast in Bangla and I didn’t totally catch it. They then took me up to the Party Place and down the back to the basement where they were cooking all the food for the reception!
IN THE KITCHEN HEATING UP SOME DAL, BHAJI, AND NAN RUTI for our breakfast. It is my favorite breakfast!
WE HAD A GREAT THANKSGIVING MEAL YESTERDAY, prepared by the men.
We had goose, chicken, mashed potatoes, bread, french onion soup, pumpkin pie, apple pie, orange/coffee custard, potato stuffing, chicken gravy, momos, veggies, and okra. Sorry guys, if I missed an item.
Here is a photo of the potato momos I made. I took momo cooking lessons at a cafe in Darjeeling with Austin. Here is a link that a lady put online, who had also taken the lessons there: http://www.ordinaryvegetarian.com/2010/05/tibetan-momos-in-darjeeling.html
DUSTIN, OUR SON making some Nan (Indian bread) that his brother Austin stirred up and rolled out. Austin and Marita made a fine Asian meal including Chicken Tikka Masala.
TODAY I MET KARA AND LUCILLE, our renters. We are fortunate to have such fine young ladies renting our house. Sorry, no photo, so I decided to add the below photo.
GRILLED CHICKEN WAS one of the the barbecued delights we enjoyed from John Yoder’s grill.
