Ooh, I feel funny, What came over me there?? Where was I again?

My, you certainly do like potato! A very useful vegetable.

Mashed or roasted are my favourites. But I can have those with my Sunday Lunch so I get the best of both worlds.

I'm not making this up: years ago - before he was married - whenever we'd go away for the weekend, one of my mates would always take two 'essential' items... toliet roll (I think he was scared of getting caught short) and a potato.

You'd be unpacking your bag and then he'd fish this potato out of his bag. I think he thought that - if he ever got hungry - there was always something to hand. Personally, I'd take a packet of crisps but there you go...

ZombieKitten said:

Yeah, a potato.

What did you used to do when a plate was put in front of you?? Scream??

I have an aunt I used to be afraid of when I was a kid. She'd only have to walk into a room and I'd dive behind the sofa. No idea why.

I love you Charlotte. You should compile a book of your stories. I'd buy it.

Indian food, definitely.

Though I have a good relationship with Meditteranean food too - falafel, dolmas, baba ganouj, hummous, etc.

Good Indian food just makes me melt, though.

my own farts

Yeah when I was growing up our neighbors were from India and they made thee best food. I've never actually eaten in an Indian restaurant though. I'm sure it wouldn't be as good would it? Or WOULD it? I really miss her food, but I don't know what anything was called.

i can make some simple curries from scratch and there are some i can make with the help of some pre-made simmer sauces, but nothing beats a good indian buffet. the trick is to go to an indian part of town...in NYC we had curry row in the east village, and in chicago we have devon street where there are tons of indian restaurants. the big fave in chicago now is a place called hema's, which is a little pricey but they make everything fresh and grind their own spices and all that jazz. AMAZING indian food.

OMG, Do they have those triangle things, sambusak, or something like that they were called. Oh man, Azra (that was the ladies name) would make a ton of them is I was coming over, cuz I'd eat a TON of them.

luv4all7 said:

are you thinking of samosas? oh yes. yes they do. and they're amazing. trader joes sells good frozen samosas, too. a box of those dipped in some TJ sweet and sour sauce and i'm good to go.

Anx said:

Yeah thats it!!!!
What is Trader Joes?????
Ahhh, I have to get those!!!

Oh yeah, we definetly don't have anything like that around here.

Chips. And. Salsa.

acutally...I could probably make do with just salsa...

luv4all7 said:

where do you live?

actually, my "regular" supermarket down the block has been trying to compete with trader joes recently by stocking more "ethnic" foods and organic/healthy stuff. they even have a whole indian foods section now, which is a bit pricier than TJs (and not as good) but does the trick in a pinch.

Schuylkill County, PA. The closest we get to etnic food in our stores is Goya Poultry Seasoning.

I checked out the site, theres like 5 locations in PA. I'll check one out one day.

the potato was on the window sill for some reason
It might even have started to sprout. I wouldn't go near it!
