Discovering Indian cuisine

The QC Lab manager at work has moved to North Carolina, and yesterday a group of us went to lunch with him to send him off. He happens to be Indian, and he wanted us to experience his native cuisine before he left.

So we met at a place here in Macon. I have never had Indian food in my entire life, and I had no idea what to expect. But, I was excited to try something new.

We all decided that the lunch buffet was the way to go, so we could try different things to see what we liked. To drink, our friend ordered us a traditional drink that was made from fresh mangos. It was very much like a smoothie, and it was delicious.

I don't remember what all the names of the dishes were, but everything was very good. I was surprised to find several dishes were prepared with meat. I thought that traditionally, it was vegetarian. There was chicken, lamb, and I think goat dishes on the full menu, but that day there wasn't ant goat on the buffet.

I have to admit that everything I had was so good!!! I tried several things, and I ate so much I thought that I was going to bust, andPublish Post I can't wait to go back.

Who knows what I'll try next??

Episode 1

Hello, and welcome to my new blog! I have been trying to maintain two blogs for a while now. Who has time for that? So, I have decided to start one that ALL of my friends can get to!

Things have been going pretty well so far this year. I'm still getting smaller, I have a got a new do, and I am riding better and stronger than ever. (Pictures to follow I promise!)

A couple of weeks ago,I went out to the local mountain bike trail to take advantage of good weather on a Saturday and I made a breakthrough. I fell down. It was a pretty good fall, too! I scrapped up the outside of my left calf, and bruised up the insides of both my legs from the impact of the bike. Again, I have pics to follow. But, I got back up and after I stopped shaking I got back on the bike and rode. I learned that I can survive a fall. The next week, I fell again. More bruises, and a few more scrapes, but that was it. All of my friends say that this is how I know I'm improving. I'm starting to push myself.

I haven't been on the road bike in quite a while. As a matter of fact, the hubby and I were supposed to do the Biking Bleckley ride this past Saturday, but we both have been sick all week, and were not able to ride. I was disappointed, but not as much as the hubs!

On the school front, I have dropped the class that I was taking this quarter. I have decided that I do not wnat to continue down the Marketing Management path anymore. I'm actually leaning toward Accounting, but haven't made any decisions yet. I'm taking Accounting 101 next quarter, so I'm going to see how it goes and then I'll make a decision over the summer.
