Category: Family
AMADER KAJER LOKER PORIBAR! Oops, I better translate. This is our house-helper and her family. (L to R) Shaheen’s son, Sultan, Shaheen (our house-helper), her daughter, Pinky (Sultana), and Shaheen’s Mother
They are standing in the doorway of Shaheen’s one-room dwelling in one of the many Bihari camps in Dhaka. Sultan was dressed up to celebrate the festival, Muharram. The festival commemorates the martyrdom of the prophet Mohammed’s grandson- Hazrat Imam Hussein.
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
