Super Day – III

The Chelsea-Manchester United match from frigid London put us in the mood for a taste of home. 

We drove out to to the House of Dosas in the Indian enclave in Hicksville.

Nobody was wearing Giant or Patriot gear.

My wife waved at a little girl at the next table. She waved back, with a gold bracelet glittering on her tiny wrist.

We had bhel puri, eggplant curry and rice, plus poori and potato masala, and my wife had spiced tea afterward.

The waiter confided that they had just sent out for their own lunch – pizza, for a change of pace, he said with a laugh.

We were now fortified for the long evening ahead.

What a country.
