Wine and Egg Puffs

Karen and I attended another Overseas Women’s club Wine Pairings dinner and it was superb! We were very amused that it was at an Italian restaurant, hosted by a French chef, with Spanish wine. And the restaurant was inside a mall that really felt like Mexico. Quite a multicultural event!

Here are more interesting things I’ve learned this week:
- “(Sales) Revenue” is called “Turnover” here. People kept talking about “Turnover” and I was so confused as to what they meant.

- “Egg Puffs” are pretty fantastic. Egg puffs are essentially hard-boiled eggs cooked inside of a buttery croissant. They are tasty, cheap and filling!

- Indians are not used to having space and don’t have the same desire for privacy that we require in America. If you have 2 bedrooms and you invite an Indian to stay with you here, there is a good chance they’ll prefer to sleep in your bedroom, and quite possibly even share your bed. (My friends have some really funny stories about this). Many people in India have never really been alone, and as a result they are quite comfortable sharing very small spaces.
