picnic

This week was a picnic with our immediate neighbors -- my host dad's three brothers and their families. Here a 'picnic' means that you cook and eat outside with music playing (perhaps the Bangladeshi equivalent of a backyard bar-b-que). In this case we were just in the open area in front of the house. It was very good biriyani with sweet yogurt for desert. Before and after the food there was a lot of singing and dancing, so it was a very lively and long evening.

Rabbi, in the center below, is my substitute room-mate. When roommate Shuvo is on night duty, Rabbi comes to stay over ...so I'm sure not to be lonely.
