3-11-12 Dinner

I am in Osman's house, (see prior video) we are having a typical Islamic dinner as would be served in the north. There is a white millet based dough (for lack of a better term) that has the consistency of cold oatmeal (but it is hot) and that is dipped using your right hand into a green vegetable sauce and a red fish and chicken sauce. It is not spicy and tastes good. For desert we had fruit. The bottle is non alcholic grape juice. The electricity had gone out so we ate be flashlight.

  2. I think a home visit is going to be one of the highlights for each group. Enjoying a home cooked meal in the traditional setting of "the home". So many opportunities for comparisons to "home" in the U.S. I will especially enjoy the home visit at meal time in Indonesia. The day after my group arrives Ramadan starts. So the mostly Muslim population of Indo will be fasting during the day and enjoying the tradition "breaking the fast" meals at night.
