Food blogs and friends

I know I waxed eloquent about food blogs yesterday and yet I feel that my tribute hasn't done justice to how helpful they are. As usual, I was browsing through food blogs today and made a wonderful new find. Injipennu's Ginger and Mango. It is a really good blog of mallu recipes. Authentic mallu recipes. Ooooh! what a find. Though there are a lot of non vegetarian recipes on the blog, I still found enough veggie recipes that delight my foodie soul. The recipes of quite a few things I used to shamelessly scarf down at my friends' places during my childhood have been posted on her blog. Now, I just can't wait to try my hand at some of those recipes. (drool drool) Unfortunately, my characteristic laziness to go grocery shopping and Mayuri's (the Indian store here in Bellevue) lack of veggies in stock have led to a nearly empty refrigerator and a craving for mallu food that has to be satisfied. Now it looks like I have to wait till the weekend arrives to satisy this particular craving.

I could of course, drop into friends' places and scarf to my hearts content. A good thing that Adi has good friends here who (hopefully) don't mind not so little me dropping in solely with the intention of having some good mallu food. (If they do mind, they are too polite and nice to let me know that.) I just love those people. Dileep and Praseeda, this is my tribute to your gentle and understanding souls who put up with me solely because I am married to Adi. And to your hospitality and wonderful company during a weekend, not to mention yummy food at your place.
