Pointless burbling about indian food and non-indian books.

Mum decided to try out the rada dosai mix we had lying about, so she left me to fry up dosai while she made a very mild (mild is key with me, as I have no spice tolerance) and dahl-laden sambar and reheated some of her favorite green-bean concoction. And home-fried greasy doughy dosai...so good. Not as good as real dosai. But good. I ate way too many. *pats stomach happily*

Have blown most of my Borders gift card on Sandman: Endless Nights, Foucault's Pendulum, and an adorable little Everyman pocket hardcover of Eliot's poetry. (Have been meaning to get my own copy of "The Waste Land" for ages now.)

That is pointlessly all.

Actually, a PS with a question: anybody know some good resources, books or online, on feudal Japan, the history of the samurai, etc.? Because I know some of you (deralte?) seem to be rather knowledgeable about that general area of history. And I've been sprouting a random interest. (Well, not too random. They had swords.)

GIP and info.
