Don't come to India!! :)
Well, I guess that's not entirely fair- we are westerners, and we do eat like them. It's so hard to say no, the food is so good here. Back home Danny and I LOVED Indian cuisine, but in India it's way, way better.
Now, I know that the Green movement is the new way of life in Canada, and over the past few years we have been making an effort to eat locally grown produce and cut back on packaged, over processed foods, but when was the last time you saw an actual milk man?
Here in India, the women take time to cook- they don't work outside the house, so you do have to keep that in mind. The meals are cooked, then eaten, the bread fresh and hot right off the skillet. Oh, and the Chai, the Chai!!!! I was lucky enough to get a lesson in the art of making an actual REAL cup of tea, but to be truely honest I don't know that I would take the time back home to make it. It's sad really.
We have lost sight of the importance of family dinners, home cooked wholesome meals for the daily grind of work and stuff.
So here is your challenge.... Grab the ladies of the household- men too- and make a meal from scratch.
Grind your herbs and spices, 'cause the smells will make you smile! Have a meal with your loved ones, and maybe even your neighbours. You will feel great- I promise! :)

ReplyDeleteAh-am I now :)?
ReplyDeleteThat's the thing- I don't know if you can get what you need in Canada to make Chah?(punjab for tea) Indian style :( Can you get fresh Leechy in Canada? They boil the leaves loose- fresh, and again I don't know what they are. Back home I can't even stomach Chai- I'm allergic, but it's so different here!! I will try my best to figure it out before I leave. MMMM MMMM GOOD
