The last three days have been like a festival season as far as eating is concerned. On Saturday I had been to Houston again, this time with Manju and Sandhya. Our devotion to Goddess Meenakshi and our commitment to the food court there pulled us all the way to Pearland on the southern periphery of the city. We then spent the afternoon at NASA space centre, where we learnt the following:
*) Moon has rocks, they are called (you guessed it) moon-rocks.
*) There are cattle inside NASA campus.
*) The girl who was our guide in the tram through NASA facilities was really cute.
We then put considerable effort spotting the Gujju restaurant 'Thali' that Manju had made a note of. But the fantastic dinner buffet was worth all the effort. The restaurant owner's insistence that we taste more of the delicacies there was just one of the causes of overfeading. The only other thing we would have liked was a place to crash for the night, rather than
drive 200 miles to Austin in the night.
Yesterday, lunch was at our local favority Madras Pavilion, resulting in another dose of overeating. Balaji came from India yesterday and with him, some yummy home-made snacks! Going to the Mozart's coffee bar in the evening was really not the antidote we needed.
To stretch the perfect weekend into Monday, I went to a Vietnamese restaurant today, where 95% of all food had some coconut as ingredient. The most delicious of all was the coconut drink. Oh, until today I had never eaten a dessert than had 3 types of beans.
Since I have been eating so much for 3 days, I know it is not a good time to check my weight now. Of course I am going to start exercising any day now. After all I stopped exercising only a couple of weeks back!
