Oops
Forgot pics of kids dal, shrimp, parathas, pulao.
Here’s the shrikhand/cardamom-saffron yogurt - I didn’t bother to soak the saffron first, because it sat overnight and turned the yogurt a nice peach color.
Also forgot a big part of the reason I was exhausted (other than double jetlag plus daylight savings end time change) - I made about a 100 of these (over 2 days) evil little circles aka masala puris, which are a favorite kid (and adult) indulgence. And they go fast. There have been visits when I’ve had to make this twice - because the (dieting) adults decimated the first batch while kids were at school (and were beside themselves when they got home and found a box of crumbs). So now I estimate what I think is “too many” and make 50% more than that. Anyway I’m pretty sure this is penance for something 
.
Yesterday’s “California bowl” lunch leftovers became part of my flight eats today. Whenever I see these bowls I think of bibimbap.
Picked a half dozen sweet lime aka mosambi - one of my favorite indian fruits, which a mexican friend told me she grew up with as well, and apparently there are now two (tiny but fruitful) trees growing in the garden, so lucky me! They’re not completely ripe yet, so let’s see how they taste in a couple of days.
