After a day of footnote curating and syllabus polishing, it was time to head into town: Petco (that should make two small furry creatures very happy); Whole Foods - above - which seemed even more manic than Christmas Eve, but provided supplies for the next few days; Susan's Wine and Liquor (that's New Year's Eve taken care of), and Tulsi. Tulsi is the new Indian restaurant run by Paddy Rawal, who was the chef behind Raaga, which closed a few years back. I have always been fairly snooty about Indian food in the US (although I do like the South Indian food at Paper Dosa, to be sure). This - we ordered take out, carried it home to Eldorado - was stunning: as good as anything I've had in London (and that's saying something) - right down to the pickles, which is surely as good a test as any of Indian culinary achievement. I don't think they yet have a liquor license (the usual long, long, long wait in New Mexico) - so take-out might also be a solution for you ... and I don't think they take reservations, but at 6 p.m. it was not packed, though busy. Anyway - if possible - go.
