Slumdog Music

A post inspired by Music Monday at Inside the Shell and M.I.A.'s pregnancy due date appearance on the Grammy's. This weekend, a friend and I went to see Slumdog Millionaire. Excellent movie and even the ending credits with the Bollywood style dance number kept us glued to our seats. I hope it wins best picture at the Oscars.

The United Nations in the Supermarket

As the cultural food choices expand in my city, my reasons to drive to the ethnic markets in Atlanta shrink. Oh, I will still find a reason, but the new Publix Supermarket in Hixson Tennessee has provided a surprisingly wide range of international food options. Some of my finds:




Prepared Indian meal mixes



Cuban/Latin food in the freezer



Jamaican canned fruits and vegetables.



English canned goods. (Do Mushy Peas sound non-appealing to anyone else or is it just me?)



Indian spices.
