And now for something completely different.  Stopped by the International Food marketplace last night, and got a bunch of snacks, spicy and otherwise from Bombay Kitchen. names like Boondi, Corn Chewuda, Chana Jor Garam, and Chewda Mix.  set it up on a counter near my desk.  I work with a lot of folks of Indian descent, and they wanted to know why the Italian was bringing this stuff in.  what a hoot!
I've only had Indian food a couple times, and both recently, and I really enjoyed it.  Couldn't tell ya what dish I had.  There was rice and chicken in it, wife brought it home from a restaurant, it was something she'd ordered.  Always stayed away because of the smell.
