Monday evening: Chole chaval, ice cream, donuts and chai (Tea in hindi) led to Vinod's twenty second birthday, his first outside India. The lead up to the day was really scary for the poor guy, he was terrorized by all of us of getting beaten to pulp. It turned out to be a bit of a whimper and he got away with just a couple of blows.
After some deliberation, we have settled for a weekend treat at a Mexican place. Before that comes Friday and Diwali dinner at home, followed by Saturday at the Indian graduate students association. About the dinner.. we started with making two columns of recipes, one that we knew to prepare and another that we wanted to eat, and sadly the two didn't meet at a single row. Having been humbled by this simple exercise, we have big plans of learning to cook some delicacies within three days.
More on that as things unfold and recipes are concocted. God bless the guinea pigs.
