"Southie" breakfast
Two popular south Indian breakfast dishes.
A plate with uppma - a semolina based dish - and to its right (as you look at it)an appam with stew. Appams are made with rice flour.

India is a wine producer. The quality of the wines produced there improves steadily. What you see in this picture is very drinkable!
"In 1988, Grover Vineyards was established on 40 acres of land at the foot of the Nandi Hills on the outskirts of Bangalore when; Kanwal K. Grover along with Kapil Grover took on the task of reviving wine drinking in India. Here nine varieties that responded well to Indian conditions were planted on an industrial scale. Today, Grover Vineyards has over 200 acres under plantation. Unlike other wine makers in India today, Grover Vineyards is the only company that shuns ordinary table grapes, while exclusively using only French wine grapes, selected from the original thirty-five varieties of the Vitis Vinifera species" (From www.indianwine.com/misc/gorverprofile2004.htm )

A forefather
A gravestone in a cemetery outside Aliwal North in the Cape Province of South Africa.
This man went from Bavaria to South Africa in 1849. He was the first member of my family to go there.
Many of my family followed in his footsteps.
