More Snowflakes

I keep making more snowflakes.  At some point soon I have to be done with this top border!


Some Scaffold

Not a great picture; I apologize.  My husband will be taking them in another couple of weeks.  In the meantime, I keep stitching away.  This has more of the house scaffold on it on the left now.  I've even got a few stitches on the right.

Kulfi

It's ice cream, but it's not ice cream.  This particular slice has five flavors.  My favorite was the mango.  The pistaschio and the cream were kind of meh.  It's much denser than regular ice cream.  Here's a recipe for mango kulfi.

Fauna In Green

These people live on the island in the middle of the river.  I assume they are squatters, like most of Angola's poor.  They are self sufficient there, as they fish and hunt.  The other two photos also have animals among the greenery.

Almost A-Mazed

I am now well over halfway done with my tulip maze.

One Corner

I have one corner of the four done.  Getting there.  I'm not stitching nearly as much as I thought I would before I left...

Street Food - Pav Bhaji

I went on a Street Food tour of Mumbai done by Reality Tours and Travel.  We ate a -lot- of food.  One of the first things we tried, at the beach, was pav bhaji.  Pav bhaji was invented in the mid-nineteenth century as an easy and quick lunch for textile mill workers.  It's made of a bunch of stewed vegetables and spices that are the consistency of mush.  You use the bread to pick up the mush and eat it.  It's delicious, but like most Indian food, a bit too spicy for me to eat much of it.  Red onions and lime juice get sprinkled on before eating.  Here's a recipe.
