Wonderful New Years with a small crowd of very diverse people both age wise and by ethnicity.. Food started at 7 pm and dinner was served at 11 pm. The one food item that really stood out was made by my neighbor and a huge hit. An East Indian version of a French fry or pop corn. Boil potatoes, cool and then press them through an Indian version of a ricer. Then they spread them out on a flat surface and the potatoes are taken outside to sit in the sun for 2 days to completely dehydrate. Then they are quickly deep fried till golden, salted and spiced.The fascinating thing was the device that was used as a ricer. It was very old and homemade. Visually it appeared to be a piece of large diameter brass pipe that that had been rigged to look like a metal meat grinder like grandmother used to use and is still used by many today. She had various different metal plates that could be inserted to create the size of the desired final product. Hand cranked, of course. It will take a few days to work off the higher sodium intake, but all things considered, it wasn’t tooooo bad. I don’t drink so it was water, water, water for me, but the champagne and wine selections were high end and really appreciated by the group. I hope everyone on FS had an equally good night.
