Frank, I am so glad you were able to try the recipe, and I am even more
glad
that they were what you remembered having. Sometimes it takes me a long
time to get around to making a recipe, but when I do and the results are
good, the wait's been worth it.
Jim (you prefer Jim to James, is this right?), I will have to eat at one
of
the Minervas the next time I am back in DC, and it's good they have one on
the Maryland side of the Potomac now since I have almost no reason to go
into Virginia anymore. I don't remember Minerva in Herndon being too off
the scale, but then I like hot food, and was eating there with Indians
from
Andhra Pradesh (where they have some pretty hot stuff!), so maybe it did
not
faze us!
When you finally do eat there, please do let me know. Same with Udupi
Palace!
I have a really good salad to share, a Maharashtrian cu***ber and crushed
peanut salad that I made last night for the first time. I will type it up
today or tomorrow and post it - it was really, really good, and fast!
