You know, we could experiment and cancel football.

So, I never have Indian food because I am afraid that it is too spicy for me. How does the spicy in Indian food rate to Thai food or Mexican food?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Well, like either of those, there is spicy and not-spicy stuff. At least in terms of hotness -- there are a lot of spices in Indian food, for sure. I think the hottest food I've ever had was Thai, though.

We ate ate the East India Grill on La Brea, Tamara. They have four levels of spicy, and you can specify when you order. Their mild and even their medium is well flavored with little heat.

I find the burn in Indian food to be mellower that Thai or Mexican. Usually because there is a real blending of spicy, sweet, startchy. Admittedly, I never really go for the pickle condiments that are really hot. Also, they have raita, which is a spiciness-cooling yogurt dish.

That place is very close to my house, Sean. I will give it a try.

Yeah, raita cuts the heat nicely on the spicier dishes, and serves as an excellent compliment for mild dishes.

It gets the seal of approval from S and *me*. S and *me*.

You can get mild indian in most places. Kristin can't do spicy foods and Chicken Tikka Masala is one of her favorite foods.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Thai food is (in general) way spicer than the Indian I've had.

I pretty much show up on time (or early, but then I often sit in my car) unless I know the times are waffley (bbq or summer pool party as opposed to seated dinner.)

And meetings? Oh hell yeah on time! A couple minutes of bullshitting is allowed, but then we have to get to the point -exacerbated by the fact we've lost 3 conference rooms due to construction, so everything is booked tight and you WILL be kicked out when your reservation is up. We've even turned our ops room into a clandestine meeting room and would be fucked if word of it spread (technically, it *can't* be a public room per the Gov't. Only certain access cards allow entry. But with real estate at a premium, gotta be careful.)
