Afghans & Banana Muffins

cooking for the weekend .. some food for school







Played "Hide & Seek" with my school mates in New Zealand's national museum .. "Te Papa". Great fun but had to be careful we didn't get caught by the Security Guards !!!!!!

... also went to the movies " The Road to Guantanamo" .. thought provoking.
Chicken Salad for dinner

Movie Plot Summary:
In 2001, four Pakistani Britons, Ruhal Ahmed, Asif Iqbal and Shafiq Rasul and another friend, Monir, travel to Pakistan for a wedding and in a urge of idealism, decide to see the situation of war torn Afganistan which is being bombed by the American forces in retaliation for the 9/11 terrorist attacks. Once there, with the loss of Monir in the wartime chaos, they are captured by Northern Alliance fighters. They are then handed them over the American forces who transport them to the prison camps at the Guantanamo Bay base in Cuba. What follows is three years of relentless imprisonment, interrogations and torture to make them submit to blatantly wrong confessions to being terrorists. In the midst of this abuse, the three struggle to keep their spirits up in that face of this grave injustice
