I just got the word that Vetrazzo, the famed Richmond, CA maker of recycled glass countertops, is having a clearance sale this weekend, September 19-20, 2009.
Prices are 50-70% off the retail cost of slabs for material that is not their regular line (They do a lot of experimenting there).
This is your chance to buy a green countertop at bargain basement prices.

Navarathri Golu 2009 Pictures
Here are few pics of the golu at my home. I keep Golu inside my pooja room. I have make shift golu padis made to suit the room.

Chettiyar with arisi and paruppu (Rice & Dal)
We don't have practise of Varalakshmi nombu. And my MIL wanted to deck up Devi and keep for the Golu. This is our first attempt. In the process, we got the hang of it. So next year may be we can better ourselves. We planned to keep it as part of the Golu. But it did not match the height of the Golu padis. So decided to keep Devi just outside the Pooja room. To match that, moved Chettiyar and his wares to the other end.
Every day morning, I make a payasam to be offered after the pooja and sundals are reserved for the evening bhakshanam. Today is neipayasam.
My sister at Gurgaon has sent her golu pic. This is the first time she has kept Golu.
