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!
Beautiful and Tasty Chocolate Cakes!

It’s me, Caden!
This is what I see as I am waiting for the tea stand to have the first morning cup of tea ready in Mymensingh!
These nice cool mornings (75 degrees F) make this tea very inviting. These streetside stands make as good a tea as you can get anywhere in the world!!
Flames licking the teapot in prep for a delicious cup of cha!
I love these pitas, as well as the cool evenings that accompanies them.
A Welcome Street Side Snack!

Social time with a cup of tea!
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!
Our house helper invited us and Craig’s to the Bihari camp for an Iftar meal! This is the meal that is used to break the daily fast during the Holy month of Ramadan.
Piaju, Alu Chop, Beguni, Dates, Mangoes, Pineapple, and Bhut, etc. provided a tasty way to break the fast.
Here is a sampling of some of the travel snacks that arrived here this week! Nice for trips out of town!
