So, last weekend, Jacob invited me to have dinner at colleague's house with him. It was a little unexpected and I wasn't sure what I was signing myself up for as we took the drive down there.
We were welcomed by Mr. Gosh, an older Indian man, who was wearing traditional Indian clothes. We sat and talked to him, and he was eager to have a conversation with Jacob about teaching and his life in India. After a while, a man with a shitar came and Mr. Gosh busted out his drums! And, we were treated to an incredible live jam session! It was very relaxing listening to their music (it almost made me fall asleep!). They played music for us for two straight hours! It was incredible.
Afterwards, Mr. Gosh's family invited us in the kitchen to sample some delicious Indian fare - curried goat, curried fish, curried lentils, rice. It was all tasty! What I love about foreign families is that they are always so hospitable, friendly, and welcoming. They are also so willing to get the best foods, plates, and drinks out for you. I think that's the greatest elements of eating. How it brings people together to talk and to share.
