Hi Steve,
I was thinking of you tonight as I made dinner because I knew I was going to use Indian spices -- which I love by the way. I recall you being fond of the food in India. My neighbor asked , "Would you have an interest in sharing some authentic Indian spices that a friend gave me?" Of course I was interested. M. brought them by today in tiny little bags -- the colors are beautiful. I don't even know how to blend them. But if there is going to be an "accidental" concoction, I can't think of anything more flavorful to experiment with than Indian spices. I pulled out the turmeric, cumin, red chilies, fenugreek and garam masala. When this got mixed together with the potatoes, etc. I could have eaten two plates full! I wish I could remember what I did.
As I recall after your cavalry training here in the States, you went off to India with the horses and mules. I vaguely remember tales of taking the mules packed with supplies up through Burma toward China. That endeavor represents the tales of another world now long gone. When I went to India last time, you were thrilled to be anticipating my observations and stories upon my return -- a conversation that alas was not to be.
Thinking of you. Donna
