Let's see if I can remember ... okay, there was a SALAD that was cucumber, red onion, radishes (cut in a fancy garnish-y style), cilantro and something else I can't remember with little hot peppers sticking up throughout for garnish (I only ate 2 by accident!). Then there was a vegetarian dish that was very delicious, but I can't remember everything in it. (shopping list: good thing, tasty thing, delicious thing, etc.) I think it did have potato in it, and some indian vegetable that she had found that was sort of like squash. Then there were the meatballs (Patricia -- that's my aunt's name-- is a catholic anglo indian, so she has none of the beef restrictions) that were in a brown gravy, which sounds kind of gross but was, in fact, DELIGHTFUL. All served with coconut rice (basmati rice cooked with half water/half coconut milk).. Ooh, and as a special treat we got to try some pickled mango that someone had made for her daughter's wedding! The mangos were tiny and had been brined in salt and I don't know what else.. they were very salty but also sour. I liked them a lot, but Mom couldn't eat them because she is very sensitive to salt.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, this leads me to a bit of mango trivia! There are hundreds of varieties, (esp. in tropical zones like southern india, the islands of the caribbean, etc.) but we only ever get about 2 different kinds here.<BR/><BR/>Now I am hungry. I hope you're happy!Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16998413591822017096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9372380.post-1157404096581718892006-09-04T14:08:00.000-07:002006-09-04T14:08:00.000-07:00Being the pig that I am, I am curious about the go...Being the pig that I am, I am curious about the good cook Aunt's good cooking.

To be honest, I didn't really want to. BUT, if that's where I end up (if I end up anywhere at all) it may all be a lovely surprise and they make it look that way to keep out shallow looky-loos like myself.<BR/><BR/>2) We did! Across the street from the Grants Pants Caveman!<BR/><BR/>3) Good Question...<BR/><BR/>4) Well, we didn't stop at as many as we would like, but I can now say I have seen the hellsgate canyon of the Rogue River. (it is very impressive and not that far off the road)<BR/><BR/>5) Thank you!<BR/><BR/>Patty -- you've got to stop next time! our trip was over 700 miles, and sometimes you just need a break from the relentless push to destination.<BR/><BR/>I can't believe I forgot to mention my almost favorite thing from the road! Between say.. stockton and sacramento there were a lot of tomato trucks carrying HUGE overflowing loads of roma tomatoes to become salsa or canned tomatoes or spaghetti sauce. Anyway -- there were lots of tomatoes on the side of the road and they almost looked like rose petals as we zoomed by at 85 miles per hour. It was very festive.Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16998413591822017096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9372380.post-1157003257180082002006-08-30T22:47:00.000-07:002006-08-30T22:47:00.000-07:00Leslita took the words right out of my mouth: So ...Leslita took the words right out of my mouth: So what DID you think of the campus? Give, girl.<BR/><BR/>And speaking of viewpoints, (sigh)in Boise there is this Bird of Prey museum that I always want to stop at that we always zoom past at about 75 mph. Something about the 700 mile trip puts the kibosh on that enticement.

I hope that you stayed there!<BR/>3) Rebecca - how come 205 does not loop back onto I-5?<BR/>4) I love that, on the way to somewhere, you and your mom take the time to chase insane viewpoints! I always get so goal oriented that I say "on the way back" or "next time"...neither of which ever happens.<BR/>5) Welcome Home!!!Leslitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01705519804326410713noreply@blogger.com
