“MERRY CHRISTMAS ADVANCE” ( The greeting they give here for an early holiday greeting) HERE I AM GETTING READY TO DELIVER COOKIES TO THE other 31 apartments in our building. Since we are leaving for Indonesia on Saturday, we thought we would get this done early. I got many invitations to come in and drink tea, eat snacks, and visit. It was a very enjoyable time. We have very nice neighbors!

YOUNG BENGALI GIRL. THINKING? Or sad?
THESE ARE NEIGHBORS OF OURS. I think the boys are brothers and the girl is their house helper. It was Korbani Eid and they were watching the sacrifice of the cows.
HALIM, ONE OF MY GOOD MUSLIM BENGALI FRIENDS. He was dressed for the prayers on Korbani Eid day. He is one of the 10-20 guys, I play football (soccer) with 5 days a week.

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
HAPPY THANKSGIVING DAY to all my American friends. I know my Canadian friends have long ago digested their Thanksgiving meals! I know these aren’t turkeys, but turkeys are expensive in Bangladesh. I think they might cost $70! I haven’t checked lately, and my memory isn’t what it used to be. Hopefully I’m not exaggerating! These are some ducks at Halim’s place. Today us fellows on the team are cooking the meal for the ladies. The menu is a secret, so I won’t disclose it until later! Have a great day!
