Wed. July 15

 Lonnie had Eye Camp in Phultala. A good turn out. They stopped receiving patients at a count of 389. Lonnie says he doesn’t know the reason why the boss shuts it down when there is still a line of patients, but figures they have their reasons.. 

Here at the house, Dipti cooked a lunch of Maddie’s choice.. chicken curry, rice, and dhal. This summer,Maddie’s been having fun watching Dipti cook lunches. With notebook in hand, she writes what Dipti is doing.

In the evening, we walked to the T just up the way for dim chop, peyag patties, and spiced cha. We’ve tried dim chop other places, bigger towns. But we like this lady’s the Best! Like the others we’ve had, we wouldn’t even go back the 2nd time for🫢 Anyway, this lady takes a boiled egg, covers it with a seasoned potato mash and then dips it in a batter and fries it crisp🤤 Tonight a customer and then somebody on the phone was talking about somebody being sick… come to find out, it was the lady cookin, she’d stumbled upon a hornets nest and got stung 10 times😳

We walked out to the levee yet. On the way home, the 2nd to last tea stall before our house, the daughter (young mom) was visiting again from Dhaka. She was concerned about her 1 yr old who hasn’t been gaining weight. He used to be the roly poliest, fat, little baby! Now, he just looks healthy. Didn’t look concerning to me, he’s walking now.. But she says he only eats chira(flattened rice) and kept asking for carton of dudh(milk) Told her, “He can drink cow’s milk now” “Don’t have a cow” was the reply. 🤔 She is only here for a week then she’ll be back to Dhaka. Says the water is knee deep there with all the flooding.
