On The Road Again
Been an excellent visit back in the USA, one of the first places I went was Wilson Farms, a favorite local market of ours. Back in Pune it is a prime time for mangos, I understand. Here in Massachusetts, our mangos come from Mexico and run about $3.50 – or Rs. 190 – the kg. We certainly have ample fresh veg back in India, but it is hard to find the variety of a place like Wilson Farms.
A good visit, with productive meetings at the Littleton lab, picking up daughter Alex from SUNY New Paltz, playing golf with friend Tom, and generally re-acquainting myself with my USA home. Tonight we dined on beefsteak, accompanied with 2005 Chateauneuf du Pape Chante-Perdrix, followed by a brief stroll outside to survey the grounds at 75 Hillside, and finally watching a movie in the library:
Tomorrow, leave at 5 am or so for a British Airways flight at 8:15 am to London, thence to Mumbai and from their back home to Pune, arriving 11 am or so Saturday. See you all on the flip-side …
It’s all relative. Wilson Farms offers at least six types of tomatoes, but only one mangon. In Pune, at Auchan supermarket, you can find more than six types of mango, but only one variety of tomatoes.
