[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
Oh my god, the Indian food was SO GOOD. I had a little of both the matar paneer and the aloo saag. I can't decide which one I like better, so I think they should always be combined. And the garlic naan must have crack in it.
Was it the place I went to?
Wallybee doesn't like Indian food. I have it far too rarely now. The only decent restaurant in walking distance here is an Indian restaurant too.
Indian food seems to be the trend these days. We went to that yummy place in Pasadena last Sunday with the PixDesign wedding stragglers (and I got all the leftovers, yay!) and this coming Saturday we're celebrating my birthday at a place in Artesia that gets rave reviews.
Thanks for the links, Cass.

Congratulations, Barb!
Um. Now I REALLLLY wanna go to Barb's for dinner!
Of course, instead I flew home from San Jose and was so late to the airport I didn't have time to even grab dinner in teh airport and instead waited until I landed in Seattle at 8:30 (oddly, wasn't all that hungry) and grabbed some california rolls and edamame, which I am eating now.
And am annoyed, because the woman who shipped me my magic internet dongle apparently messed up, so it's NOT HERE, and UPS is CLOSED NOW (they closed at midnight Eastern time) and if I can't get it tomorrow, I won't be around during business hours until Friday the 12th. SERIOUSLY, people!!!
Yay Barb
I hit the cupcakery before going swimming today. Dots for the win! I love teeny cupcakes. Plus, bonus exercise keeping the cats away from them.
eta: i also need to do laundry, but do not wish to brave the basement stairs. who wants to come over and do my laundry for me? I have mini-cupcakes....
real question: i got a piece of mail today addressed to the former owners of my house, from the city, that is clearly about the sewer issue relevant to my house(i'm on a party line, the neighbor needs to disconnect and make their own sewer line, then i have to have my sewer line rebuilt, all within a certain time frame...) Obviously the city hasn't bothered to update the current homeowners name, which is dumb since the whole sewer issue wouldn't exist if the home hadn't been sold.
Essentially, the contents of the letter are intended for me, but it is not addressed to me. I'm not sure if i should return it as "recipient no longer lives here, please forward" or open it to find out if i actually need to do anything about this whole sewer issue which is 100% my problem and not the former owners. But i don't want to break any law by opening mail not addressed to me, especially since if action is required it would be obvious that i did. Gah.
Aw thanks guys, for the congrats. meara, it sold last October, so the fact that it's going to be out just a little over a year later is pretty mind-boggling and I'm still doing the Myposian Dance of Joy.
And yeah, it's fairly terrifying, but the Cookbook Wall has been considerably thinned out-- if anyone's interested, I can break down the organization and give an idea of the types of books I have (or perhaps that's just me being a giant geek, but I figured I'd offer...) I cannot WAIT to invite people over so they can peruse in person and I can cook!
Vortex, sending hugs and a comforting hot toddy-- at the very least, it had to be unsettling.
And askye, take care of you-- it's going to take time.
