Last night I enjoyed some freaking delicious malai kofta with basmati, paneer pakoras and chai. It was heaven.

On the way to the restaurant, I stopped into a used book store. The lady who runs the place jumped up when I walked in, and said "I have something for you!" That isn't something you hear every day when you walk into a book store. She came back with a stack of books that were destined for the $0.50 rack, filled with recommendations for hiking and cycling trails. I found a ride at the edge of the foothills to do this weekend.
