Yoga Cult? Ding, Dang, Dahn!
Okay so, I’m working on that eat more Indian food intention today, so for lunch I tried some Trader Joe’s shelf stable palak paneer (don’t recommend it, tasted stale, um like a shelf), TJ’s pav bhaji (pretty good, but spicy, and I’m a wimp with the spice) and the ever awesome frozen, just-microwave-it Jasmine rice, also from Trader Joe’s.
