My 75 year old Indian Mother-in-law just shed her Sari and put one of my t-shirts on and got into the kitchen for what will be an all afternoon cooking spree. Now I know curry and masalas aren't for everyone, but I LOVE the way the house smells while and after she's been cooking. Right now I'm wishing you could smell my house right now--my sense of smell is on overload-



First couple of things in a long line to be cooked today-I wish I knew their names, but Oh how they smell soooo good-



One thing you may or may not know is that Indians love their pickle (They call it "Achaar"). I have to admit that it took a long time to gather enough guts to try it, but after doing so....its addicting. Kinda' on par with hot sauce.-



One of my mother-in-law's favorite drinks is coke, lemon and this stuff called Chaat (This stuff smells like sulfer).


Anyway, I'll think of you all while I'm gorging on Indian food tonight!
