These were some of my silent friends. :) took about 5 mins for them to be happy with where I was positioned and that they're were leaves in the background. Then they look so serious but they were the friendliest nicest ladies.

Lunch. Best meal of day

Served at 11 am
By then we've meditated from 4.30 till 6.30 and 8 until 11 so 5 hrs

Always rice. Always picked vegetables.
Always one hot pot with green lettuce cabbage river weeds grass and mushrooms and tiny bits of tofu.

Sometimes cucumber and green beans or a pineapple thrown into the pot.

Often peanuts as extra too.

Always a dessert.
Coconut milk with sweet potato
Pineapple with chilli sugar and salt topping

Type of coconut steamed bun served really nicely in individual muffin type containers made out of banana leaves.
Once we had a banana leave package and inside a delicious steamed rice, coconut and orange rind treat.
Had hot sweetened soya milk a few times too.

Really enjoyed lunch. :)
