Dal Bhat

We had a lazy day today. Breakfast, then back to the room and sat out on the balcony. We did loads of reading, internet, Freddie did some of her online CBT course and Andy spent a large part of the afternoon composing with his violin. We had a break for lunch of course then went out to dinner. We may put some weight on in Nepal if we're here for much longer!

Dal Bhat ... the staple diet of Nepal. You can get it everywhere and the Nepalis seem to eat it at least once a day. We had a particularly nice one tonight which consisted of dal soup, veg curry, fish curry, greens, pickle, raita, rice and popadom. The standard version doesn't include the fish curry but we thought we'd push the boat out. Yum. And a slight cheat with the picture in case anyone's looking too carefully ... this one doesn't include the fish curry ... its one we had on our trek but the picture is better.

Oh, and a quick stop en route back to our apartment for a chocolate brownie with vanilla ice-cream ...
