Indian Food is a Gift From the Gods

I'm not even kidding.

Yo, Travis-- sounds like a plan to me! But don't forget to mention my adoration of farm animals, too. Could be important, hehe. ;)

Matt-- well I'm talking to you on AIM as I write this, so I'll just say congrats on getting the job again. :)
I *am* sad that you're leaving though, even if itsonly to NH. Who am I going to get smoothies with on campus now? And run into at the library lab? And get randomly stalked by on campus? Oi, it's going to be a long semester, hehe.

But anyway, Indian food.

Rich and I were gonna go to India after we notced there were actually people inside the place sometim last week. Apparently the people who own the restaurant went on a two or three month vacation, because the place was completely closed/locked up for about that long. So we just thought they had shut down for good.

So we got there around 6 and were highly dismayed when the place looked dark and deserted inside again. Instead of just driving by, we actually walked up to the door-- turned out that the resaurant WAS closed. . .but just for tonight! It's open every day of the week except Monday and Tuesday, so we just missed out. We knew going Thursday wouldn't be an option since his youngest brother and his Dad are coming down that evening, so we decided to try the Indian place in EG instead.

Parking was not a problem, and we were seated right away. Neither of us had been to this place before, but it seemed nice inside and had a considerably larger menu than India-- a plus in my book. :p We were given some pappadoms (okay, I really have no idea how to spell it, but they're these wafer like things) and two kinds of chutney. We were ready to order almost immediately, cuz they also had vindaloo curry, which is what we had both wanted.

But none of the waitstaff seemed to interested in us. I didn't time it, but we were waiting around for AWHILE, as tables around us were being served attentively. The final straw was when a couple that came in after us got their orders taken while we were still sitting there. We actually wondered if we should just walk out since there wasn't even anyone around to flag down. I hate being a bitchy customer, but this *was* a tad ridiculous.

*Eventually* one of the women came over and we ordered some naan and our curries (they didn't have mango pickle :( ). I felt a little more at ease once we placed our orders, and once we did, the food did not take long to arrive.

Since we hadn't been to India in awhile, it's hard for me to say if the food at this restaurant was better or worse. As far as I'm concerned, any Indian food is better than no Indian food. :p The portions didn't look huge, but Rich and I finished our plates and were both very full. We were offered either mango or pistachio ice cream for dessert, but there's no way in hell that was happening!

Then we went to Target and both bought underwear and Drumsticks at S&S cuz his brother called and asked for them. They didn't last long once we got back to the apartment, haha.

And now I'm back home, and will probably just be online for the rest of the night.
