After the 1st S.S. here in our Choygaria village, I stayed at the house. While everybody else went on to Chakrakhali S.S., I worked on lunch. Got the potatoes cookin, cut up a salad, and mixed up some biscuits to go with our drumsticks.
Kobid announced at both Sun Schools that this would be our last S.S. for a month/til we got back from Dhaka.
We started packing, the girls packed their school books, etc.
4:00 church service was good attendance.. Shamir was down in Cox’s Bazaar with his coworkers and Lewis’s wife and dau. stayed home due to a family member with a newborn in the hosp.
After church, Pinky was asking for a drink when we got to our house again. We told the whole fam. to come in. Shotti wanted Pinky to see the baby bed she’d seen set up last week. Lonnie, Shanto, Rhidoy, and Antoor played “crum”(that’s how everybody here says carrom!😅) I pulled out the Ranch Party Mix and sweet tea. That party mix was a new one for them! Ranch flavor is something you don’t get here. And what does the name Party Mix mean? Espondant didn’t think they had a word for party in their language.?. Shotti pulled a good one, real Bangali style, and put her party mix in her sweet tea!!😅 …they dip their “biscuits” (crackers) in their hot tea so I guess she thought this would be great too! Which, she continued to do it, so it must have met her palette approval! Pinky wanted the recipe.. but 2 of the 4 ingredients in the oil mixture come from America🫣 And I had used a box of Chex in the dry mix that I’d picked up in Dhaka on our last trip up! Anyway they cleaned out the whole bowl of mix. And Shotti wondered if I’d teach her how to make cold sweet tea. She’d tried to once but said it did not taste right! So we had a Sweet Tea making session and I sent it home with her since we would be leaving in the morning.
Then it was time to finish up our packing.
