Day 330

WE HAD A GREAT THANKSGIVING MEAL YESTERDAY, prepared by the men.

We had goose, chicken, mashed potatoes, bread, french onion soup, pumpkin pie, apple pie, orange/coffee custard, potato stuffing, chicken gravy, momos, veggies, and okra.  Sorry guys, if I missed an item.

Here is a photo of the potato momos I made.  I took momo cooking lessons at a cafe in Darjeeling with Austin.  Here is a link that a lady put online, who had also taken the lessons there:  http://www.ordinaryvegetarian.com/2010/05/tibetan-momos-in-darjeeling.html

Day 327

WELL IT’S FOR SURE!  ALICE AND I are spending Christmas in Bali.

HERE IS ALICE having a nice curried beef, rice, spicy potato, dal, and rice meal at Halim’s place.   Halim’s mother is on the right.  Her curries are some of the best we have tasted in Bangladesh.

Day 326

MASUM, HALIM’S BROTHER, WHOM I also play football with giving his nephew a fun ride.

Day 324

HERE I AM IN A MOHAMMADIA HOUSING street helping to skin a cow.  Halim my friend is on the left standing in front of a tea stand that his family owns.

HALIM, MY FOOTBALL PLAYER FRIEND, standing in front of some cows in the village his mother comes from.  I went with Halim and one of  his nieces to this village in Munshigang district.  They were very friendly and were gracious hosts.

 

Day 322

HERE I AM ON MOHAMMADIA HOUSING’S MAIN ROAD adjusting my lungi before I started helping to skin this cow.  I didn’t want the lungi to fall off!

Day 317

SHARMIN STARTED LAUGHING BECAUSE it took me so long to take this photo.  I bumped the shutter mode button by mistake and it was on the timer mode!  Therefore when I pressed the button it took 10 seconds before the shutter opened.  Of course, I think this even made a better shot.  Sharmin was a part of the 18 photographers of the TTL club that went to Northeastern Bangladesh to take photos last weekend.

Day 316

RUBEL, ONE OF MY GOOD FRIENDS, whom I play football with five days per week.

Day 314

FAISAL (TTLer) SEARCHING FOR another nice photo-op in the tea garden near Moulovibazar, Bangladesh.

Day 312

TTLers, KHALUJAAN, ASHRAF, AND ?, waiting for everyone to arrive, so we can leave for the day.  Please give me comments, if the names are wrong, and what the missing name, so I can make corrections or additions.  My deepest apologies, for not remembering all the names!
