Today was my second time for lunch there, be it 4-years apart — BUT we did have COVID intervening. I like it — which obviously is why I went back.
Light fare. Not your full Indian/Nepali menu. Small kitchen. One person doing all the work. Kind of self-serve from the counter. Informal.
But, it is GOOD. Only 3 small tables and a few stools at the counter. No wine.
I was meeting a friend for lunch. It as at 1pm. So the place wasn’t that busy. Yes, people coming and going but we had a quiet table for an in-depth chat. I ordered some extra Samosas and Momo to bring home.
Given that I avoid carbs, this is menu is good for me — though Samosas (one of my many weaknesses) is, of course, NOT good for I. Smile.

Don’t get me wrong. I LOVE this ‘Co-Op’. It is MY type of store. Has an amazing selection of great food — food I love. Lot of Indian & Mediterranean food. They invariably have a good selection of Samosa — & I am a sucker for samosas (despite them being high in carbs). SHOPPING for lunch at the ‘Co-Op’ is the highlight of our way too frequent trips to ‘Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center‘ (DMHC) (though, ALAS, none of them are for my benefit per se). They have always been EXPENSIVE & I joke that while I love it, I am glad I don’t live close by because shopping there would bankrupt me (especially their cheese prices).
Well, these two items today were an EYE OPENER.
Wow.
Obviously SOMEONE is paying these crazy prices.
Guess who?
Mainly those that work at DMHC — doctors, in particular.
ENOUGH SAID.
Guess who PAYS THEM?
ENOUGH SAID.
And to think we have kids who go to school, in the U.S., most likely even in Lebanon, HUNGRY.
No, I didn’t buy either of these. I couldn’t afford that. AMZN shares are WAY DOWN. SMILE.
I bought two spinach Samosas for $8.99. That was expensive, BUT …. I have to eat. SMILE. I only ate one. Saved the other for later.
Maybe I really should have heeded the wishes of my ADOPTIVE PARENTS. I should have become a doctor. Well, I could NOT have. I am not smart enough by a quarter. SMILE.
