I've never had Indian food either. I just ventured into anything more exotic than tacos in the Mexican line lately, too.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

No problem! She is a cutie, isn't she? Now I must find a baby-safe toy bunny and embroider some fangs on it ...
But first, I better go to my meeting.

Thrive to spite them
I love the internet -- the local paper has all the restaurant reviews online now. I knew that in the review of my fave Chinese place there was a mention of when the first Chinese restaurant opened here -- about 35 years ago.

What's your stance on Swiss?
Real from-Switzerland Swiss is excellent. The American supermarket variety is a nice melting cheese, but works best as an accent, not a main cheese ingredient.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
Thing 1: PRINCESS TICKY BOX! OMG!
OMGOMGOMG!!!! So wee! So gorgeous! So wee! Such a lovely name! And the hat!

Thing 2: NEVER EATEN INDIAN FOOD??????!!!
t /astounded
::reflects::
OK, I guess you guys have Mexican as your default food? Or Chinese? Or - wow. Wow. Indian food = YUM.
Unscary things for a beginner: chicken biryani, chicken korma (mild, creamy, coconut/almond), lamb passanda (similar). Rogan josh (tomato-ish). Prawn Patia (tomatoy, sharp, yummy). Peshwari Naan is The One True Naan, imho - it's like naan filled with marzipan, almost! Yum! Sweetness as a delicious contrast to one's spicy curry.
Mmmmmm. Indian food. Onion baajis. Vegetable pakoras. Indian sweets! Yum!
Aaaaaand now I want curry. Damn it. Chicken Tikka Masala (which, granted, is never the same recipe twice) is our most popular dish. I had yummy Indian food with my mum at a new place in town when I was home at Easter.
TICKY BOX!

I've never had Indian food either.
And you live so close to Philly! Unless it's changed (which it could've; it's been 7 years), there are some great Indian places near Penn's campus. Yum yum yum.

Now tagless for your comfort.
OMG!!! Lillian is so damned adorable!!! And tiny! I keep forgetting how tiny they are when they come out.
It also adds to my theory that babies look like their fathers when they first appear but tend to take on more of their mother's features as they grow. /bullshit theory
I am dead from the cuteness. I also want more pictures.
