...that sounds intriguing Kathy, but I doubt I will go hunt down an Uzbek restaurant. Should I ever happen past one, though, I may remember your recommendation.
My problem is my inability to remember how various places rate their spice levels. I can't ever remember if a place's "two stars" is "not spicy at all" and "three stars" is "just a little spicy" or if "three stars" is "really pretty spicy" and I'm always scared to ask for "four stars" even if three is only a little spicy, for fear that there will be a sudden spiciness jump and they'll want to laugh at me and it will be impossible to eat. I am not a huge spiciness fan--I like a little kick, but I also like to be able to taste something besides the burn.
Though one place I like down the street I enjoyed because they made me pad thai that was spicy! I had never had that before, and it was fun!
I ate and the world didn't end!
(I think part of the problem with today was that I so thought it was Wednesday I was sending out Wednesday-assuming pages by 8am. What could go well from there?)
Oh, hey. Just turned on Hell's Kitchen and remembered....
Right next door to East India Grill is a restaurant the Gordon Ramsey fixed on Kitchen Nightmares. I forget what it's called, but I might have to check it out.
There is Indian Food I can not eat -- but around here it could be Southern Indian or it could be a restaurant where they cater mostly to people from India. Dh has a recipe that can be made with lamb or beef. I can eat it when made from lamb,but not when he made it from Beef. and He knows I am a spice wimp, so he didn't add as much as he would like
libkitty, remove the "Pix" and you know who I am. I'm not terribly sneaky.
Is the board posting really slowly and double-posting frequently for anyone else?
egad. I am so tired. Since I had the kids at home with me today and it wasn't hideously hot I decided to finally tackle the weeds that are choking the big rambler in the backyard. It was an ugly job, and it's only 1/2 finished. Then we made pizza for dinner. mmmm.
I find Indian food very spicy sometimes, and dishes that aren't hot in one restaurant may be wicked hot in another. But I still love it. mmm. My latest kick is masala dosa. sooo goood.
Board is slow for me. So is LJ. I blame the internets.
Does anyone have links to a resource outlining inventions and/or developments made as a result of ongoing NASA work, either space travel or observation work? The sort of ammo you might use against someone who thinks outer space is a waste of time and money.
Got two very brief teasers in a 30 minute documentary about mentions of jet propulsion--one was lightcraft which I pretty much get, at a high level: I hit you with a laser and the explosion resulting is your propulsion. But they also mentioned some top secret Russian work, Ajax or something that involved a cloud of electrically charged plasma at the tip of the jet, and a magnetic field around the centre of the vehicle that somehow reduces drag and produces up to half the thrust. But it was maybe five minutes. Very frustrating.
I'm trying to come up with an excuse to hang out in Uptown in the next couple of days.
