I’ve been watching the Olympics now for a week now and up until Friday night. NBC coverage is so crappy you wouldn’t know there were any sports besides swimming, gymnastics, and synchronized diving in the Beijing Olympics. NBC always does that unbalanced bullshit.

Also according to NBC there are only a 5 or 6 athletes in the games: Michael Phelps, Dara Torres, Kerri Walsh, and Tyson Gay. Diversify, dammit! I want to see kayaking and badminton and some other interesting stuff.

My Indian buddy has been raving about Manjula’s Kitchen: Indian Vegetarian Recipes. Manjula’s kitchen is an instructional website for preparing authentic Indian vegetarian cuisine. Manula has many detailed videos on how to prepare classic Indian recipes for the home — Indian comfort food.

Compared to other websites he says that Manjula’s videos are better produced and her experience in the kitchen make her presentation more credible than some young upstart trying to be the next Food Network star.

I personally am eager to try the paneer cheese and aloo gobi recipes. Those are some of my personal vegetarian favorites. I wish she would show how to make Lamb Tikka Masala at home but I guess there is not a vegetarian equivalent of that.
