A Taste of India



On Saturday, July 21, we began our Taste of India by shopping in several Indian stores in Richardson. We found such treasures as beautiful saris of both cotton and silk, fun jewelry including sparkly bangle bracelets and cute beaded sandals. We also shopped in the grocery section of Taj Mahal Imports. Margarita recommended the Ataulfo Mangoes. These are different from what we normally find in most grocery stores. I have to agree with Margarita that they are sweeter and creamier. Yum!
After shopping we went for Indian cuisine at Pasand. The buffet was perfect for those of us unfamiliar with the food.

After lunch, we dashed to the FunAsia theater to see "Partner" and for most of us, this was our first Bollywood movie. Nicole is a big fan of these movies and set the whole day up for us. Thanks Nicole!
