The photo on the right is before they brought out the rest of the food : cucumbers, tomatoes, yogurt, tea and candies, etc. One bowl had ground cumin and curry to sprinkle over the rice. The meat on skewers was lamb, as was the meat mingled in with raisins and nuts in the rice. However, a word of warning to would-be extravagant travelers: this cost an outrageous 300 afghanis, which is damn near six dollars. As you can infer from the bottom photo, the restaurant itself sits on stilts over a river, shaded by what appeared to be very young eucalyptus trees except that the leaves didn't have that panda-bear aroma. (However, you take off your shoes before you sit on the rugs, and there was definitely some sort of bear-like aroma wafting its way around. It couldn't have been me; I've showered this month.)
The first photo is for my tree-hugging environmentalist daughter, so if you don't notice this, expect never to get a special photo just for you again. Notice - in this remote village of maybe a few hundred people, the riverside restaurant uses low energy light bulbs.
