Restaurant Week- August 5-11. The “Tell Your Story” Brunch Event @ Nirvana, July 14th 2007, 12 to 3 p.m. Come listen to excerpts from my story “Kairis” and become part of the story yourself as we sample this Indian treat. See the simple yet fun storybooks that I make by hand, stories about a little girl, Munmun, growing up in a big city in India. If you don't know what a Kairi is and why it is such an important part of summer, then let Nirvana introduce you to it through items on the brunch menu they have put together for this event. Bring your ideas and bring along the person/s you are writing for. You’ll leave inspired!
