Living in the future ()

by fluffy at 4:42 PM

I just subscribed to recurring deliveries of tasty Indian food on Amazon. Because this is the main reason I ever go to Target anymore and it's a lot cheaper and more convenient this way, and I know I'm going to keep on buying it.

For now I've just ordered 18 packets (one box of each) every 2 months. Because I know I'm not going to want to eat this every day. Too bad Amazon doesn't directly carry my favorites (Bombay Potatoes and Madras Lentils); that seems to only be stocked by third-party merchants with higher prices and exorbitant shipping fees. Fortunately, for those varieties I can just buy direct. (So I ordered a 12-pack each of those two. Which turns out to be a bit more than on Amazon, but it's still a bit cheaper than Target. Go figure.)

Man, modern life, am I right?

All the way from India? Wacky. I thought maybe it was dried, but I see it's something vaguely like UHT pasteurization.

It's UHT pasteurized, yes. It's also freaking delicious.

Here, at least, Kitchens of India food comes with a free CD of Indian music. I've accumulated four of the five so far.

Some packages do, some don't. So far all the ones I've bought haven't, because I guess CDs don't come with the particular varieties I like.
