Odd Friday
Doctor gives stripper a hand -- literally
Doesn't that just ask all kinds of questions? Why the hell did a stripper want a hand? It has really grisly story possibilities.
I believe the awesome Carrie Lofty answered my question about the sludgy Indian dish I want. I'm pretty sure it was mushroom saag. Mmm. Now I've run down a place called Restaurante Tandoor, but it's in Polanco, which is a fair drive from my house. However, the VDH only sighed a little bit when I said I really want Indian food. He's home with me today because Monday is a national holiday and his family all left the city today for the Superbowl. They go every year, and he figures if nobody else is working, he gets an extra day off too.
He looked at me for a minute. "Today?"
I gave the puppy eyes. "Yeah. Please?"
Since he knows perfectly well what time of the month it is, he put on his happy face. "Right. Today. We'll go today."
I heard the sigh as he went up the stairs. I'll let you know how Indian food fares in Mexico. But it almost has to be today because we're heading out of the city for the weekend and my craving will have past by the time we get back. We're leaving tomorrow morning for Puebla, staying at the gorgeous Camino Real. It was built in 1542 and used to be a convent. It's been gloriously restored and I can't wait to explore. We're taking the kids to the Safari Zoo, located near Puebla, a totally open safari / zoo experience. Me, I'm more excited about the hotel. Check this out.
Simply gorgeous. I've never been to Puebla, so I'm excited about that as well. I understand there's a good amount of handmade silver jewelry, probably from the mines at Taxco.
So that's what I'll be doing this weekend. What about you?
NEW YORK (Reuters) - A doctor pleaded guilty on Thursday to stealing a severed hand, which he gave to a stripper who displayed it in her New Jersey apartment.
Ahmed Rashed faces five years probation for stealing the hand in 2002 from a cadaver at a New Jersey medical school, an assistant prosecutor for Middlesex County said on Thursday.
Rashed practices medicine at a hospital in Los Angeles and stole the hand while studying in New Jersey, the prosecutor said.
The woman kept the hand in a jar of formaldehyde in her apartment where it was discovered by police during an unrelated investigation.

I'm sure there will be Super Bowl watching this weekend, much of it likely to be punctuated with more moaning about the Chargers' performance in the second round of the playoffs (most of it probably coming from me *g!).
I, too, am jonesing for Indian food, and there is LOADS of it in San Diego. Alas, there is not much in my suburb, which means we're probably going to wind up at Boll Weevil or someplace equally awful for dinner.
We had tandoori chicken, chicken tikka, some kind of lamb and saffron rice. Of course we had nan and the yoghurt cucumber dip as well. Really good. We've added Restaurante Tandoor to our list of places we'll go more often.
Yeah, I can see why you'd howl over that, Carrie. :D
Of course, I cant take spicy food and am allergic to peppers, so I'm limited. I usually end up with chicken korma.
The hotel looks lovely!
I loved Puebla. Where else can you have a pack of lions run past the car and then later walk in evening twilight through the zocalo, where mimes juggle and old women proceed to the ancient cathedral in black veils. We walked until we came to a a cafe, where we sat bistro tables and huddled together to get out of the rain, drinking hot cocoa and sampling delicious galletas.
