Details: Category: June 2006

June 3rd 2006 - India, is the great land from where my parents are and they took me to Little India which is in the city of Artesia. Artesia is about 30 minutes away from where we live. I went to Artesia with my parents and my grandparents. We first went to 99 Ranch Market , an Asian Grocery store, to buy some fish and vegetables. My grandma's sister and her husband are coming over for lunch and we wanted to make some nice Indian "Bandgda Phaana Upkari".

Ranch 99 is a probably a great store to buy fish as they have a lot of fish from Asia. My mother bought some mackerel and pomfret. We also bought some vegetables here. All in all, my mother was very happy with all the stuff we got here.

After shopping, we crossed the street and went over to the India Restaurant. It was a really hot day and the temperature was close to 95 degrees and walking outside was not very pleasurable. We had a simple buffet at the restaurant and then headed back home. I did not spend much time at the Indian stores in this visit. Next time around, I will visit all the other shops.
