We had Mallika Nair with us for only a week and a half but what a wonderful addition she was. She came to us as an intern by asking if she could leave the farm she was at nearby and come stay with us and she thrived here and we loved her company. These pictures are artsy looking because they were too dark and I had to lighten them but you can get a sense of Mallika in the kitchen while cooking us an authentic Indian dinner. She called her family many times that day to get it all right.
Here's the final presentation.
These she called "sweet balls" but, no offense, we just had to call them butterballs. We still have most of them in our fridge weeks later. They're made almost entirely of butter, powdered suger and powdered milk - a real delicacy in India.
She left a week ago to go to NY and then back to school in Florida. She talked about coming back to the garden next year and we hope that works out for her because it certainly works for us.
