mhberk - I guess you dont want to come

[JennyUptown]

I think that's meant to convey drooling with desire, no??

[mhberk]

mhberk - I guess you dont want to come

It means that Indian (Americanized Indian) is one of my favorite foods to eat. I eat it every chance I get. The pic means that I am "drooling with desire". This is the highest complement I can give.

[jariggs]

I'm interested, definitely.

[JennyUptown]

How would this work? Where would it take place?

Etc.

Etc.

i was kidding..although it did occur to me that he looked like he was in pain

[BBhasin]

How did I miss this one!

I have already started fasting to create room.

Ready whenever you are.

[Monica Bhide]

Okay - here is where we are. I talked to CHef Sudhir Seth of Passage to India in Bethesda and he has agreed to host this event for us.. yippee!! (Sudhir has co authored classes on the eGCI with me. He is an excellent chef.. this should be fun)

Give us a bit to come up with a few suggested dates and menus..

A question.. street food is served with, what else, street drinks which do not include alcohol.. fyi.. (ofcourse you can order any drinks you want it just wont be part of the deal... we will have green mango juice with rocksalt, lassi's, limeade... etc)

[Malawry]

I'm definitely interested, Monica.

[Mrs. P]

Great idea! I would love to join!

[Busboy]

If the timing works....

Also, don't forget babka's cheese bash.

[Monica Bhide]

Yes ofcourse... I would like to get as many folks as possible so we are looking for dates in June right now..more to come

Wonderful Monica, a few suggestions if I may.

Can you guys go beyond standard restaurant offerings of Samosas, Chat Papri, Bhel Puri, Pani Puri, Dosas, Aloo Tikki, Aloo/fruit Chat, chole etc.

Also the green mango juice, if it is amras you are refering to, we tried at the Indiqe get together and generally it was not liked, perhaps due to the minerally taste ans the aroma of the rock salt.

I look forward to the event. Sign me up for two.
