I love my independence of choice and so the Walmarts are like a stressbuster for me.<BR/><BR/>Just thought I might add, gota shedhdho does not have karela... My folks are from East Bengal, so never had it before marriage. My MIL makes it the best I have tasted so far... and I have been doing the same recipe for past 10 yrs... When you cover next Saraswati Pujo, will post this one. It is for the "Sheetal Shoshthi", dayafter Saraswati Pujo.This day, women of the house are supposed to get a break from cooking etc. and hence are supposed to have everything cold, cooked the earlier day and a cold but tasty mixed pot called "gota shedhdho".BongHomeChefhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04709497824813140021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35578975.post-17151031138929215402007-08-07T21:11:00.000-04:002007-08-07T21:11:00.000-04:00Alright, the only thing I need now is some achar. ...Alright, the only thing I need now is some achar.

I do like the choice in large dept stores but my head sometimes reels with the volume I have to go through to find what exactly I want, and most of the time I return exhausted from the shopping. On the other hand, shopping in small shops in India (for clothes especially)..the whole experience of sitting coolly while the shop owner bring out exactly what you want (don't know how they do it), while sipping the tea/coffee/soda that the shopkeeper provides sometimes always makes me feel elated and relaxed...maybe I am old-fashioned.<BR/><BR/>About the Dal: somehow aamar ei daal ta temon bhalo lagto na...janina keno.
