Remember the old Sesame Street song, "One of these things is not like the other..." And the viewer was supposed to identify what the difference was in the items presented? Well, here's the same idea.
Below are three different Tsagaan Sar heaving boovs. I will write more about Tsagaan Sar in another post. The layers of bread are the heaving boov. There are also Mongolian and Russian candies as well as dried curdled milk products nestled within the tower of bread.

| Our teammates, Pam and Susan, present the heaving boov which Kevin created on the eve of Tsagaan Sar this week (Tuesday evening). |
 |
| Today, we visited the home of one of our teachers who takes our teachers' workshop (Jargal in the blue shirt). Her college-aged daughter (far left) comes to our home almost weekly to practice English and study the Word with us. Their heaving boov tower is 5 layers high with many goodies interspersed within. |
 |
| Next, we visited Jargal's mother's home (less than a U.S. city block away). She had the "Queen" of towers with 7 layers and a bakery cake displayed on top. The foil-wrapped chocolate candies were pretty tasty with our Soo Te Tsay (Milk Tea which is milk, tea, a little bit of salt, and sometimes some fat from the mutton or some butter). |
So, you decide: Which one DOESN'T belong!?!

Sorry, Kevin..... You might need a bit more practice!!! :)
BTW, I'll pass on the tea!
Okay, I think that #1 doesn't belong, because it was made by non-native Mongolians who don't know what they're doing ... :)
But...#3 might be the one that doesn't belong, because it has that bakery cake on top of it.
Rebecca: I was definitely thinking the first one doesn't belong because it's a whimpy tower...pretty small in comparison to the "real deal!" But you have a point concerning #3. Although, I think the cake just makes it look even more grand!
