Yummy food

I had a really fun experience today. I spent the day learning how to cook Indian food! It was organized through the "spouses program" from Kirk's office (I could write a whole lot more about how weird it is to be a "spouse"...). Anyway, it was just 5 women plus the Indian woman who hosted us in her home to teach us some of the basics of Indian cooking. We made quite a few dishes-- including a shrimp curry (Jhinga Masala), a lamb curry (Bhuna Ghosht), two versions of chicken tikka, daal, raita, and rice. Everything turned out to be delicious. Of course the real test will be whether I can do it myself. Kirk and I have really missed eating Indian food since moving to Basel so maybe now we can satisfy that craving with cooking at home!
