HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my 10-yr old grandson, Jensen. Until he was nine months old, I knew I was a grandpa, but never got to hold him, since he was born in Bangladesh. In 2000 we met Austin’s and Dustin in Bangkok, spent a week in Chiang and then made our first visit to Bangladesh where Austin’s and Dustin were living.
HALIM’S MOTHER in her kitchen. She cooks up a very tasty curry. Halim is a Muslim friend, whom I play football with two mornings per week.
ALICE’S KITCHEN where many kinds of food are prepared. Mashed potatoes and gravy. Chicken, beef and fish curries. Chapatis, bread, muffins, french pizzas, kitchuri, and cheese omeletes. Typically our helper cooks on Monday and Alice or I cook the rest of the days. My specialty would be the breakfast omelets, or bringing in dahl, baji, and nan-ruti from a local hotel (restaurant) for breakfast. I forgot to mention that this is the hottest room in the house. In many climates, this is where people would huddle to get warm, but those days would be rare here!!
SOME TASTY EGGPLANTS in the making on Shat Moshjid (7 Mosque) Rd.
POMEGRANATES are available at this time in Bangladesh.
BREAKFAST AT A LOCAL hotel (restaurant)
This is my Boyd and Wurthmann (for the Ohio folks). At least 2 days a week I come and get a take-out order of 5 servings of dal (spicy beans) 5 servings of bhaji (spicy vegetables and potatoes) and 10 pieces of nan ruti (flat bread). Sometimes for my breakfast I just stop in and order some to eat there. It’s kind of like my Ohio “Boyd and Wurthmann!”
