PRETZELS

Here is a sampling of some of the travel snacks that arrived here  this week!  Nice for trips out of town!

Rold Gold Tiny Twists! 

Alice, Denae, Abigail, and Emily help the  young girls make some sugar cookies.

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.

WE SURE ENJOYED THESE EGG SANDWICHES prepared in Old Dhaka.

NUTRITIOUS AND TASTY STREET FOOD!

STRAWBERRY DELIGHT!

IT’S NICE TO SEE THAT STRAWBERRIES ARE AVAILABLE IN BANGLADESH.  I remember in my teen years, some days picking 100 quart in a morning.  My parents yearly had anywhere from 2-6 acres of strawberries.  These berries sure were delicious over “soft” ice cream.  With the temps these days it doesn’t take long for ice cream to get soft outside of the freezer!  Almost makes you think you are eating “Dairy Queen” ice cream!

Sweet and Delicious!

DELICIOUS COOKIES

SOME DELICIOUS COOKIES SERVED AT MY FRIEND’S BUSINESS OPEN HOUSE, celebrating 5 years.

Jelly-Filled

 

Chococolate Chip

TOMATO PASTE CANNING TIME

MY DECIDED WHILE THE TOMATOES WERE IN SEASON to make some paste for use with pizza or spaghetti!

Many French Pizzas coming up in the next year!

A PILE OF WATERMELONS WITH THE SELLER PERCHED ON TOP OF THEM IN MIRPUR 1, DHAKA, BANGLADESH.

We sure have been enjoying the taste of this fruit.  A small one will likely cost 1.40 USD.

TASTY WATERMELONS!

This is the complimentary breakfast served at Hotel Amir in Mymensingh.  Boiled egg, toast, banana, and tea was served.

2012 Day 81

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!

Eating kitcheri with their hands!

NOW THAT IS A LOAD OF BANANAS!

Putting the motorcycle to use as a freight hauler!
