Spicing up the sauce. Strictly cheeni kum.

Random observations from a trip to Quincy Market

1). Haymarket is dirt cheap. Also dirty.

2). There was a man dressed in 18th century costume for no apparent reason.

3). Also had the pleasure of seeing 2 completely stoned women, sitting on a bench, doing drugs. Outside Cheers. While toddlers played with their balloons or whatever around them. Weird.

4). A troop of African-American men doing some very random "nautanki". They even had this guy who kept going "aaaooooo" like Shakti Kapoor. Lots of very silly people stood around them, gaping like idiots...and paying for that s*%t!

5). 1953 Chevrolet. Cherry-red. 2-seater. Driven by very determined dude. It took him several minutes to get her(i.e the engine) going. His wife sat beside him...giggling. I don't know if she was embarassed to be sitting in that piece of hideousness or just excited.

6). Bombay Bazaar(or something like that. The first word is definitely Bombay) makes Navratan Korma with broccoli*. Apparently, one of the 9 jewels is broccoli. Bloody baskets!

7). Pumpkin Spice Latte is the way to go at Starbucks!

8). Never place thermocol carton with Samosa in it, in your handbag. The chutney will spill all over your very nice bag, and your bag will smell tamarind-y forever.

* What do you have to do to get a decent Indian meal around this place? Udipi makes sour dosas. Bollywood Grill is overpriced. The food is just OK, and the servers are rude. India Cafe-Less said the better. Punjabi Dhaba-yuck! Its just ridiculous. I have my hopes pinned on Dosa Temple...recently opened at Framingham, where Chennai Woodlands used to be. Its vegetarian only...and the name sounds appetising. Jury's still out on this one.
