Wednesday 19 August 1998 - end of Summer 1998 - good to be back home - welcome home dinner with "Chicken 65" - Scirocco rear axle good as new - back to university for the last two semesters
Wednesday 19 August 1998 (originally written 23 August 1998)
Hi everyone Hope your summer is still going on fine. It will soon be Labor Day and autumn will be near. I promised an afterword to my summer of 1998, where I thought that was the most interesting time.
I learned much valuable information and was able to hold a job in a software development role.
To give a summary for the purpose of the job assignment, it was to gain experience in software development. I did not have the full access to databases and file servers, but it was a good start. As mentioned before, the Unix file transfer system was very primitive, in comparison with the file transfer and publication software options of today. I also got along well with my colleagues, and we had some fun events. And I donated a pound or two of filter coffee in its original packaging, here and there, to help out, as the office cannot function without coffee. Tuesday the 18th August 1998 I made it home safe and sound through St. Louis and SFO.
So what happened between the 19th and 23rd August 1998? I had enrolled in my Autumn 1998 courses, mainly requirements for the Bachelor of Science in Computer Science degree and one fun course.
Theory of Computing (no programming)
Compiler processing (some programming)
Macroeconomics *
Critical Thinking * (Philosophy)
First Semester Italiano 🇮🇹🏛⛲🇻🇦 (What, no emoji for the Bocca della Verità?)
I prefer to speak, maybe around late May 2019, about why I took Macroeconomics and Critical Thinking, as those are considered to be more geared towards freshmen, and in previous years, I had taken equivalent courses eliminating the need for those. Long story for now. So this leaves just two more courses for the Spring 1999 semester, required for graduation.
We had a family dinner at an Indian buffet restaurant, I think somewhere close to my first residence around the El Camino Real and San Antonio Road in Mountain View. I particularly liked the Chicken 65, tandoori lamb, idlee and sambar, and saag paneer (spinach and cheese curds). And also lots of chai to drink. It was a fitting celebration to mark the end of a successful job assignment.
At some point in May 1998, my car had some issues with the rear axle, so that was repaired during my absence. I would not have to worry about that axle the rest of the year. Tires were fine. Just one thing, the tape player in the stock radio (original from September 1983) did not work since I guess May 1997, so I had to rely on the radio, or a makeshift mini speaker and Aiwa HS JS 475 setup. I probably will not make any long posts between now and 23 May 2019, but that remains to be seen.
I hope you enjoyed my stories on Summer 1998, and I also hope you will have some times in your life, where decades later, you might be able to recall, with or without visual/auditory aids, most of the details of the events. Here's to a great final year and hope to have a word on it on 23rd May 2019, the "20th Jubilee". Auf wiedersehen, au revoir, arrivederci!

Traditional Idli Sambar: A Perfect Breakfast Combo
Idli Sambar is a traditional South Indian breakfast dish that has gained popularity worldwide for its delicious flavors and healthy ingredients. The combination of soft and fluffy idlis (steamed rice cakes) with a flavorful and aromatic sambar (lentil and vegetable stew) is truly a culinary delight. While the process of making Idli Sambar involves several steps, the key to its mouthwatering taste lies in the careful selection and usage of ingredients. In this blog post, we will explore essential ingredients that can elevate the taste of your Idli Sambar to new heights.
Essential Ingredients for Delicious Idli Sambar
The Essence of Idli:
Idlis, the star of the dish, are steamed rice and lentil cakes that are light, gluten-free, and easily digestible. They owe their unique texture and taste to the fermentation process. To prepare idlis, the primary ingredients are:
Idli rice: A variety of short-grain rice with a high starch content that contributes to the softness and fluffiness of the idlis.
Urad dal: Split black gram lentils that provide a rich source of protein and aid in fermentation.
Fenugreek seeds: These small seeds add a distinct flavor and help in the fermentation process.
Making the Idlis:
Soak idli rice, urad dal, and fenugreek seeds separately for a few hours.
Grind the urad dal and fenugreek seeds to a smooth batter consistency.
Grind the idli rice to a slightly coarse texture.
Mix the batters together, adding salt, and allow the mixture to ferment overnight.
Once the batter has fermented, pour it into idli molds and steam them for around 10-12 minutes until they are cooked and fluffy.
Exploring the Sambar:
The flavorful accompaniment to idlis is the aromatic sambar, a lentil-based stew with a variety of vegetables and spices. While there isn't a fixed number of ingredients for sambar, it typically incorporates a diverse range of flavors. Here are some essential ingredients:
Toor dal: The base lentil used in sambar, it provides a creamy texture and earthy taste.
Tamarind: A souring agent that adds tanginess to the sambar.
Sambar powder: A spice blend made with coriander seeds, red chili, fenugreek, turmeric, and other aromatic spices.
Vegetables: Common vegetables used in sambar include onions, tomatoes, carrots, drumsticks, potatoes, and brinjals, adding color, texture, and nutrition.
Creating the Sambar Magic:
Pressure-cook the toor dal until soft and mushy.
In a separate pan, heat oil and add mustard seeds, cumin seeds, curry leaves, and dried red chilies.
Add onions and sauté until golden brown.
Add vegetables of your choice, sambar powder, turmeric powder, and tamarind pulp.
Cook the vegetables until they are tender, and then add the cooked dal.
Season with salt and allow the sambar to simmer for a few minutes to blend the flavors.
Bringing it all together:
To savor the perfect idli sambar:
Serve the steaming hot idlis with a generous ladle of sambar on the side.
Accompany it with coconut chutney, a traditional condiment made with grated coconut, green chilies, and spices.
Optionally, you can also add a dollop of ghee (clarified butter)
Health Benefits of Idli Sambar
1. Nutrient-dense and Low in Calories :
Idlis, made from fermented rice and lentil batter, are light, easily digestible, and low in calories. They are a rich source of complex carbohydrates, proteins, and dietary fiber, which provide sustained energy and promote healthy digestion. The sambar, prepared with lentils, vegetables, and aromatic spices, adds to the nutritional value with its abundant vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants.
2. Promotes Digestive Health:
The fermentation process used in making idlis enhances their digestibility and promotes the growth of beneficial gut bacteria. The fiber content aids in regulating bowel movements and preventing constipation. Additionally, the combination of idli and sambar creates a balanced meal that helps to break down complex carbohydrates and proteins, facilitating proper digestion and nutrient absorption.
3. Supports Weight Management :
Idli Sambar is an ideal choice for weight-conscious individuals. The low-calorie content of idlis, combined with the high fiber content in sambar, helps to keep you feeling full for longer, preventing unnecessary snacking. The presence of proteins in both idli and sambar also aids in muscle development and supports a healthy metabolism, contributing to weight management goals.
4. Boosts Immunity :
The sambar in Idli Sambar contains a variety of immune-boosting ingredients, such as turmeric, curry leaves, and garlic, which have antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties. These ingredients help strengthen the immune system and protect against common infections. Additionally, the fermentation process involved in making idlis enhances the bioavailability of nutrients, including iron and B vitamins, which are essential for a robust immune system.
Conclusion :
Idli Sambar isn't just a delightful culinary experience; it's a powerhouse of health benefits. From providing essential nutrients and aiding digestion to supporting weight management and boosting immunity, this traditional South Indian dish is a wholesome addition to any healthy eating regimen.
