Making Progress!

CHICKEN HUT!


So on Monday we had a general meeting for planning purposes and I was just generally confused about our goals for the summer. Haha I guess I had thought of those long time ago for the class I took and ended up forgetting all about them right when I got here. (Heh culture shock made me forget about a lot of things) Coonie told me to eat lots of Indians, but that made me realize that I haven't really been talking about the food! I'm more of a eat-the-same-thing-everyday kind person (as those of you who knew me in my Thai-noodle-4x-a-week phase might already know) so in the morning I eat Puri (which is like fried puffy bread with two kinds of sauces. One I believe is known as chutney which is kind of sweet and yogurty, while the other is this orangish-brown that is spicy and filled with peas and carrots. So what you do is tear up the puri and dip it in the sauces. For cold drinks, I have slice, which is an Indian mango drink that is really freakin awesome... except after having it every day I'm kind of getting sick of it. For lunch I generally have a Tali plate (or Dali?) Basically it means some Roti Breads and a huge variety of sauces. Heh, I kind of think Indian food is kind of like Mexican food... lots of the same things prepared in very different ways.

But anyway, I found a machine shop! Right here on campus, and the machine shop superviser said all we had to do was write a letter of permission to get access to the shop. Then he told us where to go in the city to buy all the materials we need to get started! So hopefully today I'll go get the materials and tomorrow we'll fire up the machines! I'm excited
