Excited and Hungry!

Ok. Last day of work was today and I don't think I could be more excited for this trip!  One of the things I'm most excited about is the food. I  LOVE food!  And I'm super lucky to live in Toronto where the variety and quality of cuisines is (in my opinion) one of the best in the world.   I suppose it goes without saying that Indian food has to be one of my favourites; it's so rich, vibrant, colourful and, well filling!

I've been to a bunch of Indian places in the city and am rarely disappointed, however, my favourite is definitely "India Palace" on Queen West.   Great service, cozy atmosphere, and of course, great food.  I always compare other Indian spots to this one, and I know I'll be comparing the food in India to this place as well!  I'm curious to know how alike Toronto's Indian food is to India's.
I've formed a relatively uninformed and biased opinion that Eastern dishes in the West are not the same as Eastern dishes in the East.  I will keep you posted on my hypothesis.

As part of my preparation for this trip I've been upping my intake of curries and kormas.  Check out yesterday's lunch:

YUM!

    Hi Ruby! I have been reading your blog and will continue to do so. It is very exciting to hear that you will be going to India on a yoga adventure. I love yoga and try to do it on a regular basis as it is very relaxing for me. I have a three year old and a four month old and anything to keep me relaxed I enjoy. I can't wait to read more of your adventure so please keep posting. Have fun, stay safe and learn lots!!!
