a little insight to india
It was all fascinatingly indian for the first half of today.
I caught up with Lennon and we had lunch at Nine Mary's . Of course I let the guy order for me, seeing as I am totally clueless when it comes to indian food. We both had vegetarian Thali (see below for definition). It was rather interesting although the lentils were a little beany for my tastes. It was rather nice on the palate and I love spicy food, so this was just all good. The place was posh and modern but the food was apparently rather authentic, according to Lennon.
We sat there for a good hour or two chatting about life and work and more interestingly, his recent trip to India! He brought along his laptop, and after a few technical difficulties, I sat there looking at all these amazing pictures of the Taj Mahal and all these other temples and buildings intricately carved out of marble and huge blocks of stone, while he sat there explaining and pointing and filling me in. It's amazing how much effort and time went into creating these works of art. But wow, I was positively blown away. Guess I'll have to visit India sometime soon!
Thali - From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:
"Thali is an Indian meal with contents varying from one regional cuisine to another. A thali is a selection of different dishes, usually served in small bowls on a round tray. Typical dishes might include rice, dal, vegetables, chapati, papad, curd (yoghurt), small amounts of chutney or pickle,and a sweet dish to top it."
