taste of india

we’re back home from lost angels.

we were supposed to get back yesterday, but hmc was running around with wet shoes from the flood in the laundry room due to the mischievious rag, and ended up falling down the stairs and landing hard on her arse. she doesn’t think that anything’s broken, but her arse is achey and things like standing and sitting are quite uncomfortable, making the prospect of a six hour drive not that exciting.

instead we set out this morning, spurred on by the early morning arrival of a photo shoot in the house where we were staying. it’s for a product called an iport (where do these marketing geniuses come up with this?), which basically is a dock that you install in your wall so you can come home and slap your ipod onto your house and play music. although i’m not sure why you wouldn’t just hook up your computer to your stereo with an airport express instead. perhaps it’s the remote control, but then the exciting roku comes with one too. the iport at the photo shoot did seem to come with a very pretty model named melissa, so maybe that’s it.

there were two good things about driving up today:
1. better weather. no rain in lost angels at all, and pretty clear halfway up the 5. the other half was mostly just light rain, until it started pouring when we got home to the bay area. welcome back, suckers!
2. we finally made it to the fabled indian food place! it’s not really halfway, more like 3/4 of the way to lost angels. it’s off of the buttonwillow exit, about 1 1/2 hours north of lost angels, maybe 72 miles south of harris ranch. however, it is really yummy indian food, and considering your other options on the 5, that makes it excellent indian food. here’s the deets:
