I had the pleasure of going down to NPR’s main headquarters in DC yesterday to appear on the show “Talk of The Nation,” to discuss what else?–rice and curry. As an old radio hack myself (from my days at WHRB in Cambridge, MA), it was great to get back into the studio and also check out NPR’s grand operation. Shout outs to my friend and former Columbia Journalism classmate Wilma Consul for making it all happen!

Rice & Curry 
Hi Skiz,
Very nice to hear you speak on NPR. I actually came across Amberalla at my local grocery store (Russo & Sons in Watertown, MA). It was tagged as June Plum. I bought some and ended up eating w/ salt and pepper.

Wow! Amberalla in Watertown, MA. I’ll have to look out for it.
Enjoyed your interview. Set off some memories for me: http://joyouscrybaby.com/2011/12/30/curry-and-kindness/
Look forward to getting your book.
