A collection of links
These links have been gathering internet dust in my bookmarks folder, except for the first one which is fresh. Enjoy.
The Alchemy of Curry is a great post by cookbook author Raghavan Iyer at jugalbandi that makes me excited to go to India and try new food there. Look at those photos, and that chart! I want that cookbook.
This article on McCain’s temper will make you worry. Just in case you want something else to worry about.
I am looking forward to reading some of these articles on molecular gastronomy by Pierre Gagnaire and Hervé This. (Link in French.) Joe and I missed a chance to see Hervé This speak in Paris–he gives a free lecture once a month–because, of all things, we had to work.
This is old news, I know, but I forgot to write about it earlier: I have been slowly, slowly making my way through these 763 six-word song reviews. I have liked almost everything he gives five circles.
This photo will amuse you, unless you are my mom. Then you will be worried, because your daughter is going to a tiger reserve in India. But she’s pretty sure nothing will happen.
This job leading a group of high school students on an international trip really appealed to me. It doesn’t pay much but your travel is covered. I started a job application with them and never finished because I decided to go to India instead. But it sounds like a great program to me, and if I don’t work in the summer during graduate school, I might apply again. (Not working in the summer seems pretty unlikely to me, too.)
Some flickr photos of Himachal Pradesh, where I’m going in a few weeks. The low temperatures are now down to 66ºF, which is better than the 88ºF I was seeing a few weeks ago. The high temperatures aren’t even that close to 100ºF any more.

for some reason I thought TMN had closed. those reviews are awesome.
