Ramadan 101: Day 26

Sunday's Adams Morgan Day Festival was a kaleidoscope of multicultural flavors and fun for the whole family. While I was conducting cooking demonstrations for Patak's brand of Indian sauces, I met Madeleine (photo, above) who took this great photo. If you missed Adams Morgan Day, don't worry! There are many more festivals to enjoy this fall. On October 3 & 4, I'll be at Fells Point Festival in Baltimore, MD.
If you're a fan of Patak's products, or want to learn more, you'll get recipes and free products by stopping by our booth. On October 10, we'll be at Taste of Georgetown until 4pm. To continue the "Taste of India" theme, you could stop by Indique Heights for their annual Dewali Mela festival.
