We usually drag my dad to have Mexican food while we’re in Tucson – and that may happen yet – but last night we went to Flavors of India, a restaurant in one of the anonymous strip malls up here in Oro Valley that an Indian friend of my dad’s recommended. And it was excellent – started with complimentary papadums and chutneys (most Indian restaurants I’ve been to, especially in London, charge you for this kind of thing), then followed my dad’s friend’s recommendations and had Mulligatawny soup and crayfish malbar (which I’ve never heard of). Both were fab!
Today I met an old friend on the U of Arizona campus who is a professor there and we had a nice lunch at a middle eastern restaurant nearby. We met at Centennial Hall, which was festooned with a banner advertising the great dance performance series with several of my favorite companies including Bill T. Jones and Alvin Ailey. Unfortunately they’re not happening when I’m here. Dinner tonight at a Mexican restaurant in Oro Valley – good fajitas. I was hoping to have a dried beef that I love at El Charro, the famous mexican restaurant downtown but realized that I got the names of that dish mixed up. It’s carne seca …not the carne asada served at the Oro Valley restaurant. Must remember this next time.
