The temperatures are a-rising. On top of all the fresh local vegetables, eggs, bread, honey… now we have the local kiddos having fun in the water fountain! I can watch them for hours. Such blissful fun they have. All they need is some water and they can entertain themselves endlessly.

Fortunately, no parent has yet come up with the Bengalis’ much dreaded “thhanda legey jaaabey” (thou shalt catch a cold)

Kicking off the weekend with a cappuccino at Warm Waves like every other week. The cutest customers are the half sleepy preschoolers and elementary grade kids all dressed up in their softball/baseball/horseriding clothes grabbing a pre-game bite!

After the art show, Sharmila and I landed up in Bombay Lounge to grab some drinks and Indian appetizers. Nika there absolutely makes the best cocktails ever. The smoked Old Fashioned was outstanding. (I liked her choice of burning cherry wood more than my own hickory wood). And then to be compliant with Cinco De Mayo, we had a mango margarita too!

“Ik raat mein
Do do chaand khiley
Ek ghunghat mein
Ek badli mein”

Rough translation…

Tonight there are
Two moons beaming
One behind her veil
Other behind the clouds

It got a bit cold and very overcast (you can see in the picture). Regrettably, the jicamas are still not there! But got some other fresh vegetables. Also got some fresh eggs from Yonah Mountain Farms.
