Re: the title of the blog - I was just voicing what I know you all must be thinking. And the answer is 'yes, of course!!!' but not that you can tell from reading this blog. And just to add to the food fanatic image, here is another foodie post. Monday just gone was another bank holiday here in Germany and we kindly let our friend Joydeep come over and cook for us!
Above is pic of Joydeep doing just that. Joydeep was originally our neighbour (he has moved out since) and we befriended him over chats about German cake and the Democratic nomination race in the US. He is currently finishing off a PhD in Philosophy and is a Professor in Indian philosophy in waiting. And he is also a foodie, just like us.
We were very excited (as above photo of Eric shows) as Joydeep spent the afternoon cooking us a delicious vegetarian Indian meal, using lentils, tomatoes and the spices in the first photo. It was accompanied by a delicious fried cabbage dish with roasted peanuts and served with rice and cucumber raita. Mmmmm!
Below are the boys getting stuck in - very serious work!
And lastly we had a warm Indian dessert made with milk, vermicelli, raisins, and cardamom pods. Oh, and two slices of cake from the bakery down the road, but to be honest they could have just as well have been decoration as they hardly got a forkful taken from them - the Indian dessert was that good! It was like a really fragrant version of a rice pudding, but with vermicelli. So that was that - not bad going for a bank holiday eh? Non-foodie post on the way - I promise!

In Utah they have a new craze....rice pudding. There is a chain of eateries that serve nothing but rice pudding...lots of flavors of rice pudding. I was very skeptical at first ( not even a fan of rice p. anyway) but it was really delicious. There are berry flavors to chocolate to caramel. I had cheesecake flavor with crushed graham crackers on top. To quote Rachel Ray, " Yumm-0". The place is packed all the time. Go figure. It would never fly here. The name of the establishment is " Puddin' on the Rice" to mimic Puttin' on the Ritz.
Wow! The food looks so delicious! I like Indian food. Unfortunately, there aren't any Indian restaurants in Culpeper. There was an excellent Indian restaurant in the town where I lived in England. Did you get some recipes from Joydeep?
