Almost like being there

Our friend Tom had just returned from a 10-day trip to India and, as usual, had taken lots of photographs. We wanted to see them and hear the story, so naturally, the theme for dinner, arranged between Patricia and Wendy, was Indian food, and we made it a day.

We arrived around two with bags full of meal ingredients and condiments for Indian cooking and a special joint-effort-home-brewed Plum Wine, which we already knew was divine.

I do the chopping, (with my special apron provided by Wendy),
With everything out on the counter, the cooking could begin.

and Patricia and Wendy put it all together and looked after the pots.
After a few hours, it was time to enjoy a great Indian dinner on a table set with beautiful embroidered Indian place-mats and a runner hot off the plane from India. Dinner was Poppadoms with 3 different condiments, red lentil Dal, Channa and Indian spiced Potatoes and Cauliflower served with our very own Plum Wine.

Then we got to spend the next 3 hours viewing some of Tom's pictures with narrative from his trip to India.
Another great evening was had by all.
