SOME DELICIOUS COOKIES SERVED AT MY FRIEND’S BUSINESS OPEN HOUSE, celebrating 5 years.
CAROL AND IDA REALLY DID EAT WITH THEIR HANDS. THIS IS THE NORMAL METHOD FOR BENGALIS WITH BANGLA FOOD. This was the noon meal at the Taize brothers after the worship service. The one brother was teasing the ladies that there was an examination. If they failed to show they could eat decently with their hands he was going to produce spoons for them to use. They were glad they had one day to practice before this! They must have passed the test since no spoons were produced. It was quite a bit easier since it was kitcheri!
EVENING MEAL AT THE FCC (Foreign Correspondents Club) restaurant in Phnom Penh. The Phnom Visitors Guide said, “This is the famous FCC – still as much a journalist’s meeting place as a popular tourist/expat bar and restaurant. Located on the second floor of a beautiful old colonial-era building, the FCC’s open balcony provides a spectacular, sweeping view of the riverfront. …….. No visit to Phnom Penh is complete without at least one visit to the FCC.” So of course last evening I decided to check it out! 🙂 I decided on the grilled Norwegian Salmon Fillet. It was as delicious as the Salmon I ate in Chicago, San Diego, and the one my brother-in-law caught and brought to Florida to be grilled! I finished off the evening by sitting down with a mango milkshake, while I wrote some postcards to send to friends.
