TGIF: Thank god it’s Friday.
The radios have been blaring that it’s the independence days for Mexico and some other countries today. So I made a mental note that I should probably go to a Mexican restaurant today. I have to say though that I really dislike Mexican food. I don’t understand why Indians who come to the US like Mexican food. I personally do not see any similarity. I’d rather just go to an Indian restaurant. As far as the spicy argument goes, I think adding chili to anything will make it spicy. But I think a bean burrito is one of the less inspiring things I have eaten.
Yesterday was a Thursday night which means my chore night. So I left early for my dance class from work. I had fun in the dance class. Somehow dancing seems to take the stress out of a long day. But the day was a longer night than just that. I put all my clothes into the washer and dryer and then ironed them after they were done. I also cooked my chicken curry (which is the only dish I know to make) and ate it with some bread. I watched TV while I did all this. I am still hooked on to the Thursday night NBC line up. The new Fall season has just started. It’s not that funny but I still continue to watch it. “Will and Grace” always entertains me.
As regards to cuisine, my tastes are very Indian and yet so un-Indian. There is nothing that can beat my mothers cooking but my favorite cuisine is Thai. Followed closely by Indian-Chinese. Thai food is very popular in my group of friends since it is something that we all can agree on. It can be spicy, it can be mild. It can have noodles, it can have rice. It can have soup, it can have appetizers. It can have coconut and chicken curry, it can have vegetarian curry.
I used to love going to Shansi restaurants when I was a kid. That was probably where my parents gave me my etiquette training of how the fork and spoon should be positioned before and after finishing your plate. No, wait. That was way before. But anyhow…I also love Saravana Bhavan. When I visited San Francisco, the Saravana Bhavan food (its in San Jose me thinks..) was one of the main highlights.
The spiciest food I have ever had was where I least expected it. In an African restaurant. The Chef personally came out and laughed at us after we challenged him to bring out his spiciest stuff. Tears rolling down our cheeks, but our pride intact, we smiled and told him that it was indeed really spicy. So he gave us some honey and sugar and free desserts for trying his food. :)
My regular food involves a salad bar. My mom thinks that a salad bar is a place were people can go and eat leaves. It have tried explaining to her that a healthy salad has few leaves and a lot of other stuff including grilled chicken, ranch dressing and croutons and she doesn’t believe me. So I have stopped trying. I am happy with my regular salad bar and as long as it keeps me from having to cook, I will be happy with it.
Quote of the day: Eat Drink and be Merry, for tomorrow ye diet. (A pun on the old call to war, which ends with - tomorrow you shall die)
