Where are we now?


View Where are we now? in a larger map Jo, Annie, Miles and I are living in Northport, Alabama and working at the University of Alabama in Tuscaloosa. We've been glad to be in one place for a bit after what appeared to be semi-permanently traveling (in actuality for a period of 2.5 years).We started this blog to catalogue some of the adventures when Jo and I were sequentially conducting our dissertation research in India and Brazil. While we've fallen off the blogging bandwagon somewhat during recent trips to Brazil, we're trying to pick it up again now that we're back in India!

Sweets!




What visit to India is complete without a trip to the quintessential sweet shop? No visit in my opinion, and no visit with me as tour guide!

Enter: Lakshmi Mishtan Bunder (or LMB) perhaps Jaipur's most famous sweet shop and restaurant.

For those who haven't been, the door to a sweet shop will quite likely be opened by this fella



(No that's not me, yet...just give my moustache a few months; and yes, his moustache went that far out when he pulled it)

At which point you'll be confronted with a bevy of unidentifiable sweets treats, such as this:



Some sort of paneer (cottage cheese) sweet crepe sorta thing..


Or maybe one of the innumerable edible foil-covered (ostensibly-the edible part; it is covered in foil) silvery doo-dads.





Whatever you choose, you should pony up to one of the "standing" tables, and enjoy your unrecognizable sweet meat....



We sure did...our choice: Kulfi (Saffron/pistachio flavored Indian icecream)
