Himalayan Night

Friday evening Julie, Anna and I joined Pradip for Himalayan Night at Truman.  Himalayan Night is an annual celebration of Nepalese culture and food, and is an evening we very much look forward to attending.  Here is an excerpt from the Himalayan Night program that provides a bit more background.

"Nepal is a country that is very rich in cultural heritage and is blessed with unique beauty of nature.  For this year, the theme of our annual Himalayan Night 2014 is 'Yatra', which in Nepali means, 'journey'.  This year Himalayan Night takes you on a journey to Nepal through Nepalese food, music and culture, planned and put together by students of Namaste Nepal.  The Nepalese student community at Truman founded Namaste Nepal in 2004."


My tasty plate full of Nepalese food!!



Matthew and Matt were able to come for the dinner portion before they slipped out for Matthew's True Men performance.  We stayed and enjoyed the after dinner entertainment with Pradip; including his impromptu performance (at our table) with the band.  ;)  I just adore Pradip!!
