Vegetables

Here is Gwen carrying a purple pepper from our garden.


Here she is with a vegetable called a bitter gourd. Not from our garden, but from an Indian market. I am learning how to make a vegetable paji, which a friend made for us this week. It's delicious. It turns out I got the wrong kind of gourd. It's supposed to be bottle gourd, not bitter. I made a fool out of myself asking the kind Indian people in the market what everything was. I really would love to know how to make more Indian dishes since I love them so much and are healthy and require less meat which equals cheap!


Here's a close up of the bitter gourd. Apparently, it is pretty bitter. Sonia will tell me how to cook it.
