Overstuffed

Today was Sabbath and I wasn't sure when services began. Someone told me that everything goes by "Nepali time" here so no one knows when things will begin or end. Kevin slept in til noon from being up so late the night before. I gave him a while to get ready and was informed that services usually begin around 12:45 or so.
So Kevin and I show up at 12:45 just in time for the main sermon and then the service is over. We almost missed the entire thing. Another woman told me services begin around 11. The pamphlet said noon. I have no clue what time to show up next week...
But the thing we did not miss was the enormous pot luck held in the canteen after services. There is a pot luck held every second Sabbath of every month in honor of the guest speaker that visits that week. Everything was vegetarian and quite good. I feel that I've gained a couple pounds from stuffing myself ( be happy, Dad ;D ). Kevin had told me he was not hungry before the pot luck began. But once everyone laid out their four different kinds of rice, mashed potatoes, baked beans, veggie loaf, mixed lentils, cucumber salad, daal, noodle salad, veggie chili, cookies, crackers, Nepali potato chips, tangy yogurt, and Shannon's CHOCOLATE CAKE from Katmandu, he couldn't resist. He dug right in.
I feel like I will never eat again... nor do I ever want to see another piece of chocolate cake ever again (or maybe for the next 24 hours, whatever comes first).
I feel so full I must now take an afternoon nap and lay around the house for the rest of the day trying to digest...
Gotta love Sabbath here. =]
