Tilda Pure Basmati Rice
{209} Tilda Pure Basmati Rice, originally uploaded by The Inadvertent Gardener.
My friend Lily (of bloglily.com) picked me up at lunch today and we snuck over to Vik’s Chaat Corner in Berkeley for a delicious lunch. After lunch, we ducked into the market next to the restaurant, where Lily shopped for a variety of ingredients, including basmati rice. She was going to pick up a particular bag, when one of the women who worked there came up to both of us and first, asked me in a pointed manner what I was doing with my camera and, second, directed Lily to buy this type of basmati rice rather than the other, because it was better.

Turns out it IS better — that is because it is “watered by the pure cold waters of the Himalayas” or something like that. xoxox
Bloglily, I’m fascinated by the fact that the bag has a zipper. I’m going to have to go back and get me some of that stuff!
