Dinner

Tonight's mostly Indian meal was a success, we had the lentil stew, poppadoms, Raita... and the Arepas bread made from the special corn meal flour we got in Montreal yesterday...a nice red wine picked out by Jennifer at the winooski Beverage warehouse called Atteca old vines 2007,completed the main meal,a good time was had by all. We finished the meal with a Hagan daz vanilla Ice cream bar covered with chocolate almond vintage 2009...

If you have never cooked poppadoms at home the sheer magic of watching a small disc flower up and spread into a circle 3 times it's size you should really try it, all you need is to buy the poppadoms at a market, get a couple of inches of oil in a sauce pan wider than 6 inches and wa la crispy fried poppadoms appear...FYI the poppadoms are the crunchy very flat wafer thin bread served at Indian restaurants before the meal. These take 5-10 seconds to cook.


If you live in the Burlington ,Vt area head to the beverage warehouse in Winooski they are sooo helpful even when you have no idea what you want, and there is a Sam Adams beer tasting tomorrow at 5pm free pint glass stop by great people there! Ask for Jenn or George and you will meet great people... check it out............www.beveragewarehousevt.com/
