Life in India

These are just some shots of average life here. The food was from a traditional Bengali lunch that we had on Tuesday- that was our job for the day: to go to a luncheon and taste test the meat dishes. They are putting together a cookbook to sell with some Indian spices. My job today was to put together the layout for the cookbook with some pictures... Anyway, the dishes are chola daal (a split chickpea sauce), aloo daum (which is mostly potatos and was my favorite thing until I discovered Indian egg rolls later in the week), and okra (I confess, I didn't eat much okra) served with luchi, the bread-like things which are really good! And I'm beginning to get better at eating with my hands, although it's still hard to use only one!
