I‘ve decided to listen to this audiobook while also listening to Dickens‘ Little Dorrit audiobook depending on my mood. This one is short and I miss Italy. I also need to read another #Italy book for #foodandlit as we celebrate #Jubilee all year long! @Catsandbooks I also need a #letterF for #litsyatoz
pickA very short biography. I appreciated his message of humility serving the poor. In Argentina and throughout the world. I'm glad I took the time to read it. #Italy #FoodandLit #Jubilee @Texreader @Catsandbooks Also P #LitsyAtoZ
I started this book tonight. #Bangladesh #foodandlit @Catsandbooks
pickA compelling book set in pre genocide Rwanda. The tensions are there and you know what‘s coming, but you can‘t stop reading. I‘m glad I read this. #FoodAndLit #Rwanda
I‘m trying this tea today because it‘s supposed to be from Bangladesh. (Says Pennsylvania on the back.) Either way I‘m excited that the tea bag and wrapper are compostable. That should mean no plastic. #FoodAndLit
Tonight we made Bangladeshi Village-style chicken curry. It doesn‘t look like the picture in the recipe… but this might be because I had to swap Kashmiri chilli for a substitute so it isn‘t as red as it should be.
It still tasted delicious. And it was pretty easy, just lots of prep with all the spices (though they are standard ones for the most part).

pickThe birth of #Bangladesh was excruciating, as it tore itself away from East Pakistan. The book is told from the perspective of a mother, Rehana, whose son and daughter are old enough to take active parts in the war for independence. Even Rehana engages in acts of rebellion. This is an excellent book for learning about the war without graphic details of the violence that took place. Sadly the narration of the audiobook provided practically no ⬇️
A terrible photo but isn‘t it nice to know the good ole USA isn‘t the only country banning books. Genocidal #Rwanda also banned books. 😡 #foodandlit @Catsandbooks
