I went out for a delicious Indian meal with my very old friend and teammate, Beryl, yesterday after work. You see Beryl and I played volleyball together in high school (and dare I say middle school? man..), but I hadn't really seen her since she came to visit during my sophomore year at Wes when she was touring colleges. Well, on my first Friday in the city, I was supposed to spend the afternoon looking at apartments, and went in early in the morning to do some shopping and walk around the West Side. My first stop, of course, was the Rockefeller Center Anthropologie, and who should I see in the sale section (because honestly, where else in that store can I safely go), but Beryl! We finally got our meal yesterday and had a wonderful time catching up, and Beryl helped me solve a mystery that has been bothering me for quite some time. Those wonderful, rich, little dumpling/doughnut/balls of deliciousness soaked in syrup that they serve for dessert at Haveli in Middletown? They're called gulab jamun (pronounced, as Beryl explained to me, like "glub", as if you're drowning, and "jummin", sort of like jammin' on some reggae). Well, I was incredibly excited because they are way too delicious, and I found a recipe online with zero difficulty. These are up next on my creative cooking menu, so anyone who wants some, do come for a visit!
