I had a bit of a grocery buying spree Tuesday. Craving some lime pickle and having searched for it in my neighborhood grocery stories, I looked up the address for an Indian grocery store online and walked up to Adams Morgan, only to find it doesn't exist.

So I went to the Harris Teeter, where they had only garlic pickle and mango chutney. I bought both, along with some fresh cauliflower, and made myself some potato/cauliflower curry and basmati rice for dinner. It's not the same with garlic pickle. I hope my homemade lime pickle pickles nicely; even if it does, though, it still has several weeks to go.

I can't believe DC doesn't have good ethnic grocery stores. Apparently there are some in Virginia and Maryland, but given the number of people from different ethnic groups that work in the District, I'd think there would be a better variety of ethnic foods at the grocery stores. Maybe I was just spoiled for choice in Doha, because there are so many Indians there, and one could get great Indian produce, spices, and condiments.
