Today I made my two favorite Indian dishes, Chicken Tiki Masala and Saag Paneer, from scratch as part of Jackie Gordon‘s Real New Yorkers Who Cook series. I found a new grocery store in my neighborhood that has good service, great selection and reasonable prices. It’s near the subway, too. Finding this, changes everything. I redeemed my travel voucher from Christmas to fly to Indianapolis next month. I am so excited to see dear friends and then really dig deep into event planning with my esteemed colleagues.

This weekend I attended a lovely baby shower, received an amazing massage and reciprocated the massage by hosting Sunday night dinner. (A friend is in massage school and needs to clock practice hours, lucky me!) I hope you had a great weekend.

I am looking for my alter ego name, any suggestions? I also welcome any dining recommendations for Indianapolis. What’s your favorite Indian dish?

Happy Passover to those who celebrate it!
