But HAHA, he liked the simple plastic fire truck we gave him best, since he and all of his cousins could actually play with it. That's when we learned how important that 1st birthday is in Hindu culture.
Anyhooo, my friend is a cook and is always saying, "Taste this, it's my grandmother's recipe." And I learned a valuable money-saving lesson from her: Don't by spices in the grocery store. For half the price, you get about a pound of spice at the Indian grocer. So I bought a bunch and packaged it up in cute little jars to share with co-workers and such.
And I'm still talking about food. All of my posts seem to be about books and food. Maybe the Pshrunk can find something interesting from that?
