Hello Amigos! Tally is my name… It is sort of an India and Native American name. My dad, who is from Darjeeling India, and my mom who is from the Hopi Tribe in Arizona put together some names that were from each culture. One of the names was Hopi from a great uncle, Talasi. The other name, Tocally was from India, another relative. They actually found out recently when we visited India, that I had a great uncle named Talli! I like having a family name that reflects my cultural background.My mom actually grew up on a "rez"! A big thing with her tribe are what are called Kachina Dolls. They are ceremonial dolls. My mom is always making them, and had given all the Amigos one. She is great at making them and somehow makes them look like the person she is giving them to! Anyway, my mom made a bride and groom for Erik as a wedding present.
Here is what they looked like
Since Erik and his now wife have a lot of vegetarian friends, Erik asked if I knew of a good India vegetarian recipe for the dinner reception at his wedding. So I asked Dad, and he thought about it. My dad taught me to cook an Indian favorite dish, Green Mung Dal. I made it, with a little help, for the dinner reception. It is really good, and even non-vegetarians liked it! 
(I like cooking a lot, got me to thinking about being a chef, as well as computer guy.) Of course, Tyler had to say it sure looked like "puke"…. I asked how can he talk, he likes sauerkraut, and that is cabbage and we all know how that smells! I ate it at his house…. So he tried the Mung Dal, and really did like it! It is very high in protein as well as really good for you. Check out the recipe on the recipe part of this blog. We are all going to add things to it for you to look at and hopefully try! Like Tyler is going to put his great grandma's Knepp recipe there!

I like the challenges of middle school. I have a really good computer elective, and we (all the Amigos) are on the Green Team. Jack, Allison's older brother got it started last year. One of the things we are working on is getting the lunchroom to serve better, healthier choices. My mom was really happy to hear that! Well, I guess that is enough about me. I would love to hear from you and about you, so drop me an comment on my page, I would love to talk to you! Your Friend, Tally
