Listen, don't sweat the football stuff. Its not worth it. I went to Cal when Stanford had John Elway as their quarterback. When the great yogis and sages say that "all things must pass", they weren't talking about "third and long." You are at a great school with an opportunity to learn from great teachers along-side great students. So have fun, learn lots, and then go out and help make the world a better place. Amy -

I'm a grad student at the U of Miami and it is kicking my butt! Anyway, I just became veg about 2 months ago, still getting used to it but I love your family's food! Thanks for making the transition easier! Just randomly dropped in to say hello while searching for veg recipes. Best of luck at Stanford; I'm sure you will do great! My little brother is a freshmen as well. :) -Jamie in sunny Miami, Florida Hello from a new vegetarian and a fellow stressed-out college student!

To your comments on quarters. There really are 4 .. summer counts. both my undergrad and graduate school was on quarters, not so common today I think. I teach at a University and we are on semesters. I much prefer the quick pace and quick turn over of a 10 week quarter with 3 a year versus the long drawn out time line of a 15 or 16 week semester. I tell you, you can really start dragging about week 12!!!! Where as in quarters you are just in week 2 of a new class! Much Better! IMHO ... GO BUCKEYES! My favorite dish is Mattar Paneer! Thanks now get back to work studying! Hi Amy, this is very nice, well written and fun to follow. To your comments on quarters.

In 1952-53 I too was a Freshman at Stanford (Encina Hall). I absolutely *love* your Palak Paneer. It goes well with the book that I am reading: "Sacred Games" by Vikran Chandra (who teaches at UC, Berkeley). Thank you for broadening my horizons. I remember a man from India who was a visitor at Stanford in 1953. He was in a natural state of bliss. Happiest and most peaceful person I have ever met. Thanks.

I'm so glad you maintain a blog. Actually, I'm still not quite sure what the difference between a blog and guestbook are, but hopefully I won't do or say the wrong thing. It's also nice to hear your dog is also vegetarian. That must be rare among canines. Actually, I have two dogs myself, Wolfgang and Ludwig, both are dachshunds and they do like to maintain their longevity with an occacional hot dog. Do you have any suggestions for an alternate form of meat for my dogs? Thanks for any suggestions. Good luck in school. Michelle Hello Amy,

I'm learning Hindi too and you're right, although it is fun, it's difficult too. I'm longing to visit India and experience all it has to offer. Hopefully someday soon, I'll be able to get there. Well, take care. Looking forward to hearing about your trip. Simi Namaste Amy,

She also says there's glad there's only good food in them because it's healthy and it won't make her die. Actually she wants more, but too bad for her because I ate the rest. Ah, parental love.
