Word of thanks to fleurdesel.

The samosas were one of my favs -- thought I detected a touch of basil in there, which is a new flavor dimension in that particular food (at least for me -- and I guess I could have mistaken it for another member of the mint family, but I liked it a lot).

Fried peppers also very nice, with fast, clean heat, and the lassi (though incredibly filling) was an excellent palate recalibrator.

Sincerely appreciate your planning this event, and it was good to see old friends again and meet a several new ones.
