Day 262

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.

A Great Bengali Cook!

Day 258

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!!

Day 230

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!”

Finger-lickin good!Who needs a spoon when you can grab the food with a piece of ruti!

Day 205

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DUSTIN

Last night we celebrated Austin’s (July 19 B.D.) and Dustin’s (July 24 B.D.).  Austin turned 36 and Dustin 34 years old.  Each blowing out their candle with one blow.  It was a Pistacchio cake.  Of course Alice fixed her excellent smoked chicken, mashed potatoes, gravy, as well as hot and cold vegetables.   It was a good time to catch up with Austin’s who had just returned from Bali, Indonesia on Tuesday evening.

Day 199

CHAPATIS in the making.  This fellow in the Mohammadia Housing section of Dhaka came to the tea stand I was at and wanted me to take a photo of him and his wife as she was making chapatis (flat bread).  Very tasty, in fact I had some for lunch at a friends house.

Day 195

MUTTON CURRY, a very tasty Bengali dish was prepared by my friend’s (fellow footballer) Mother for all the football players to celebrate our 40th wedding anniversary.  We ate this along with porotas and a special cake.  Halim’s Mother is a wonderful cook.  I’ve had two meals in their home, and he just called last night and wants me to come sometime and bring my wife.

Mutton curry!

DAL AND BHAJI (spicy lentils and vegetables and pototoes) is one of my favorite breakfasts with nan ruti!!  Khub moja! or in English “very delicious” Here is some ready in bags to take home.  This shop was in Mohammadia Housing here in Dhaka.
