Last night I had a little time and a lot of rice, so I cooked up an Indian dinner with a bunch of the packets and spices that we brought back from India last summer. I made chicken byriani rice, a yellow lentil soup, and some salad, and it turned out pretty good. The spices that we came back with are pretty easy to use, and the tastes are completely different from any Indian food you can find in Japan, with the possible exception of Swaad.
We are inching towards the end of the six month teaching term at KHI. There’s only about a month left, and I am working behind the scenes urging my students on their final projects as well as starting to make final reports. Usually by this stage I have some idea about the next term, or at least whether or not there is a next term. This time around I haven’t heard anything. Kind of weird – but hopefully I’ll get some news in the next couple of weeks. Strange!
