A not-so-starving graduate student

October 3, 2006

When I gave up on the idea of cooking school and came to the University of Alberta to start graduate school, I was sure ramen noodles were in my future. Well, I’m in my second year and ramen noodles may come along yet, but I’ve had some of the best food I’ve ever eaten here….and it hasn’t been in the restaurants, either.

A lot of my classmates are from other countries and so are a lot of the people I meet casually. The best part of it all is when I get invited to their homes to eat some of their fabulous home cooking. Last Friday I was invited for an Indian meal, to which I brought a jar of mango chutney made according to my great-great aunt’s recipe. It was a heavenly combination, and the best toover dal I ever ate!

Stay tuned for the dal recipe once I get it….
