Saag paneer......
Huntington Sharp says:
Yeah
As much as I love naan (and I do), I look at it in some ways as a saag paneer delivery unit.

Four things...
I found it interesting that all four of the places you have lived started with an "S" I look for things little things that mean nothing to the eye, but usually there is something more to it than meets the eye! Did you like keeping score for women's softball? I found that to be an interesting job and I am glad you mentioned it.
Huntington Sharp says:
Thanks, Heather...
...for your comment. It's not as surprising about the S as it might be elsewhere: as you can see, I've lived not far from the California coast my whole life, where the Spanish and Mexican missionaries settled. They named their missions after saints, so...
I loved keeping score! My mother played in Sonoma's women's league for twenty-five years, and every one of my summers involved watching endless games. I kept score the summer between my freshman and sophomore years of college, after the ill-fated quickie-mart job evaporated thanks to my inability to balance the cash drawer. (That market is still there, by the way, and I get a small feeling of dread every time I run in for a quart of milk.)
