My experiences with cuisines

Though it has been only 3 months since I came to the US ,I have tried as many cuisines as possible (atleast those cuisines in which I get good vegetarian varieites to some extent :D ).
I was awed seeing the quantity being served here rather than the taste.
I really like spicy food which lacked in most of the restaurants here as they were "americanised". (even the kurma in an indian restaurant was bland ! )
But then the desserts were awesome in most of the restaurants and I mostly used to skip my main course in some of the mexican restaurants and just end up having a brownie :D
Surprisingly the saravana bhavan here is not as good as their chain back in India.
And we have found a far better indian restaurant in our locality , Mylapore.
Asian cuisines like Thai and chinese are awesome and I hated Mexcian untill I visited a Mexican Grill, Chipotle which is more of a fast food joint.
I was reminded of our own frankie :)
Unlike many others here, I love the vegetarian pizzas, which I have tasted till now and subway is awesome as ever (subway is my all time favourite!!!)
However, I would just forego all these for more kozhambu and paruppu usili at home.:D

Pleasure of cooking

For the past 2 months the only job that I do is cooking.Though I do not want to call it a job :-)
I have realised how cooking can be a pleasure when you cook for others.
Every week I try out a couple of new recipes atleast and I am really happy when I hear kausthu saying its awesome or when his friends say the dish you made for us the other day was superb and ask me for the recipe.
Thanks to google , all recipes are available online with video instructions and it is equivalent to my mamiar or amma teaching me a new recipe.
I hope I try out as many cuisines as possible in the years to come though am confined to Indian alone currently!!!
