I find it only rarely.<br />La, it's called mamidi allam in Telugu. Never heard of it?<br />Lata, this had to be my most expensive haircut ever!<br />Cindy, the waxing moon tip is do-able so I've resolved to do that for the next haircut! :-D<br />Elizabeth, are they the glassy/translucent kind? I don't think the taste would be quite the same.

Once I went to a haircutting school for a trim (my hair halfway to my waist) and because of a REALLY inept student who had to get the teacher to fix the nightmare, I left with just above shoulder length hair. The final cut was a good one. But I came away feeling pretty much like you did.<br /><br />I would have felt much better if I'd had some mango ginger to come home to though. I like that the idiyappam you made looks nice and dry. I wonder if the packages of dried rice vermicelli we get in Chinatown would work.Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08818302133113874649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30980268.post-35523224221773121892011-10-17T12:28:43.576+05:302011-10-17T12:28:43.576+05:30Sra, thank you so much for all your info, you made...Sra, thank you so much for all your info, you made me learn again at this whb!<br />hope will find some mango ginger some time here in Italy, and when a dear friend og mine will be back from India in a few days I will ask her for Idiyappam as well! :-)<br />about your hair, ...
