Last night Heidi and I decided to try the "special pineapple lassi" which is a fruit smoothie laced with the local favorite - marajuana or "bhang" (remember, meat, eggs, and alcohol are banned here, funny there's no crime either). Our server was our hotel owners 12-year-old son. He made a very good lassi. We decided to split just one because we didn't know how it would affect us. After gulping it down we sat at the restaurant for a while and didn't notice anything. We left after about 30 minutes and decided to walk around town and have dinner. We went to the Om Shiva where our favorite salad is, and noticed they had a buffet for 100 rupees ($2). There were five different dishes of popular north Indian cuisine on the buffet, and we really couldn't pass it up. The food tasted SO GOOD! lol Then, about fifteen minutes later, I started laughing really hard for no reason. And then Heidi started laughing really hard with me. We were like children. The other people in the restaurant probably thought we were obnoxious, and we felt like we were back in high school. The special lassi had done its job. It was a fun night. And of course the laughing was constant:) After dinner we headed back to the hotel. On the way we had to stop and get snacks...of course. We stopped at a street vendor and purchased some mixed nuts and popcorn. The man kept telling us to try his nuts, so we just kept snacking until he decided it was time for us to make a purchase. When we went to pay, he didn’t have change for a 50 rupee note, so we just kept adding snacks ‘til we bought 50 rupees-worth of nuts, popcorn and a vegan peanut cookie.
Once we got back to the hotel, we started watching The Big Lebowski, which is one of our favorite movies. This time it seemed really funny through the parts we don't normally laugh at. We didn't last long though because after the snacks were gone, we started feeling really sleepy. By the time the dude was freaking out at the bowling alley cause they never gave the kidnappers the money, we were probably entering our first cycle of REM sleep.
Right - so that's about all I got for ya, now. Probably no more "special lassi" for us for a while.
Namaste:)
