It's just restaurants tend to use lots of cream and ghee (clarified butter). One of my favorite Indian places is an all-vegetarian South Indian restaurant on the Upper West Side, but it's a bit pricey to go too often.<br /><br />I am already missing the mountains, although I was happy to get back to the gorgeous skyline of Manhattan!Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10413371644902006675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1495472091669524208.post-77125562311624245372013-01-21T16:11:48.536-05:002013-01-21T16:11:48.536-05:00I definitely had a twinge of homesickness as I ran...I definitely had a twinge of homesickness as I ran through Central Park today.

It's weird because I never have any trouble booking a massage ;) <br /><br />I make a lot of Mexican and Italian, too. I think because it's so tasty and simple! A homemade tomato sauce, quinoa pasta, and some roasted veggies and shrimp = done! Or chopped sauteed peppers and tortillas with beans and salsa. I'm thinking of doing meal plans on the blog since cooking more is one of my intentions for this year and planning it out beforehand saves money.Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10413371644902006675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1495472091669524208.post-60187801827585747172013-01-21T15:42:58.906-05:002013-01-21T15:42:58.906-05:00You had a great workout week!

Looking at your schedule I feel like I'd be bffs with my foam roller. <br /><br />We have Indian on the menu plan for this week coming up, it's my first time using Garam Masala so I'm looking forward to it! We eat a lot of Mexican and Italian here so I'm trying to branch out.

I never put time into the theory, so I can't sight read very well, meaning you'd never guess I took lessons for 7 years. But oh well, I can play a few pieces and fool people :) <br /><br />I think every college town has an Indian restaurant! My tiny college town had two, but only one was good, and everyone went there. My boyfriend said it was the only way he survived after eating Indian food every day for 18 years and then having only cafeteria food in college!Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10413371644902006675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1495472091669524208.post-4079472512272193342013-01-21T10:56:51.179-05:002013-01-21T10:56:51.179-05:00I love Indian food, so I'm very excited to see...I love Indian food, so I'm very excited to see the recipes! In college, my friends and I would go to a local Indian restaurant once every two weeks or so to get our fix. :)<br /><br />That's nice you have a great relationship with your old piano teacher. One of my younger sisters took lessons for a long time, and she had a strong relationship with her teacher as well. Yet *another* reason I wish I took piano lessons!Carrie @ Fitness and Frozen Grapeshttp://fitnessandfrozengrapes.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1495472091669524208.post-76763028493838212502013-01-21T10:55:43.726-05:002013-01-21T10:55:43.726-05:00Hah, I think so, too.

Where I live is actually only 2.5-3 hours from Whistler Blackcomb.
