I oft...Wow, you sent me on a memory trip, too, Geo. I often refer to Govinda's as the best job I ever had. I washed pots there, with the back door open and the sun streaming in...<BR/><BR/>And LDV! I used to read Mama's palm, with Handsome Brother #1 translating, in exchange for rum baba. <BR/><BR/>I dated Handsome Brother #1, too, a thousand years ago. After we'd broken up & he'd gotten married, I stopped in for dinner. He was sitting with wife & she leaned over to whisper in his ear. I later learned what she said:<BR/><BR/>"If you even <I>look</I> at her, I'll scratch your eyes out!"<BR/><BR/>Clearly he learned it from his father.Chemical Billyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02252177787003276682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8236210.post-18772841004717072932007-02-23T14:44:00.000-07:002007-02-23T14:44:00.000-07:00Liz: Actually, we all got the impression that she ...Liz: Actually, we all got the impression that she didn't want her husband finding someone else lovely! Rob's gran was smilingly flattered by Hostess Mama's outrage. That made the moment even better when I look back, the twinkle she got in her eye. What a lady.<BR/><BR/>I'll have to test out my dal on you sometime. It's been ages since I made it.Geohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13928364622023202837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8236210.post-19624848604498773392007-02-22T22:14:00.001-07:002007-02-22T22:14:00.001-07:00p.s.

It's called Swagat. It's small and drafty, but the service is friendly and the food's tasty. It ain't Govinda's, but it's worth a trip. Good prices too. <BR/><BR/>I have the Krishna cookbook that the Govinda's folks often used. Maybe we should get a few people together and each make one of the recipes and have our own Krishna-kosher buffet? (I make pretty good yellow dal.)Geohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13928364622023202837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8236210.post-16364147058057881192007-02-22T18:05:00.000-07:002007-02-22T18:05:00.000-07:00I loved Govinda's too!
