We recently visited this restaurant called Masti in Toco Hills shopping center. It’s a fun Indian American fusion place that we may do a post about someday – for now I’ll just tell you about their “Sharabi Lassi” aka a boozy mango lassi aka Nick’s new favorite cocktail. It consists of mango lassi, coconut rum and a splash of Bailey’s Irish Cream. Simultaneously creamy and refreshing!
Since this new fave cocktail is a recent discovery and we have been working a lot –

The food was much better.
We went to Urban Pl8 because we had 4 people recommend the nut burger to us. Urban Pl8 is situated within Krog Street market – we made the terrible mistake of deciding do our visit on a Saturday – and anybody from Atlanta knows to avoid pcm or ksm like the plague on the weekends unless you want to be constantly reminded that this ain’t yo’ town no more. For some reason (probably because $15 paleo isn’t as in as a $4 korean bun concept) Urban PL8 had no line and was actually pretty dead despite the hustle and bustle and long lines lines around us –
Like crepes and bangers & mash, my mum’s cheese scones were a cornerstone of my childhood.

It was the spot for many Decatur families and how us young’uns luckily got inculcated regularly with the amazingness of Indian fare.
If you haven’t noticed, I have been on a bit of a blog hiatus as we have been in the midst of a move. Today though, I find myself in a beautiful kitchen within a beautiful house – a house that we bought!
The house is nestled in a little one square mile refugee community on the outskirts of Atlanta. The diversity is so bountiful there’s even 
If you have been a vegetarian in Atlanta for long you most
likely are very familiar with Rainbow Natural Foods. When I was a wee thing Rainbow and Sevananda were the few establishments offering fantastic fresh foods for us vegheads. Other than the obviously amazing hot+cold fresh bar, my mainstays are the chinese sesame noodle salad and the spicy gingerade, and if you ask them nice they might just make you a custom mock-chicken salad sandwich (usually pre-made as a wrap) which is so very tasty.
