Friends, family, and Peter.
How are you?
Why I am good thanks - Balo Achi (in Bangla)
But let's get to the point here - this post is about a FOOD situation.
Let me set the scene for you.
Let me set the scene for you.
You're in the airport, Dhaka airport to be exact, waiting for a flight that was suppose to board at noon.
It's now 15:30 pm (3:30pm) and the last meal you had was at 7:30 am.

What do you do?
You want to order food but no restaurants in the airport are open except for a
small convenient store that serves drip coffee and
sweet "homemade" desserts balls.
Excuse me? Did you say dessert balls?

That's right - I did. In fact every thing this lovely man had to sell in his shop was round.
Don't believe me?
So the question remains - what would do you do?
Options Ms. Wells?
A) Remain calm until boarding the plane and then become a PEANUT monster and
eat the plane clean of all the peanuts on board
(This is what my sister would do - she is a rock when it comes to pain
and can tolerate a sore stummy better than I.
She could and would wait it out for another four hours if she hat to
and then go to TOWN once on the plane with snack foods)
B) Drink copious amounts of coffee and water pretending to fill your stomach and risk having a belly ache or worse (in my case) almost peeing your pants
(Note: this is dangerous not only for the last reason but I tend to shake a lot
when having drunken too much coffee and well, they can sometimes
not let you on the plane if you look a little suspicious...only happened once to me!
But they finally DID let me on - they had no choice - ha!)
C) Be a risk taker and try something new
(What would you do Pete? Remember YOU ARE HUNGRY!!!)

*sigh
I won't tell you what I did - you wouldn't like it!

Gulab jamun, ras gulla, ladoo... all my round favorites. I do hope you tried them.
