Met up with pals for lunch at Tandoori Nights. Our waiter was this Indian guy who spoke Taiwanese!! Ok, it’s really Hokkien and it’s because he’s from Singapore so he speaks it. I thought it was cool. He was an odd bird, telling us this story of how back in Singapore he used to hang around Chinese friends and his mom wanted him to marry a Chinese woman and he replied that he was was going to get a gun and pop a cap in her… ok he just said he was going to get a gun and shoot her. It was all in good fun I’m sure. Then he told us how he got in a lot of trouble in Singapore and would call up his biggest friend who’d ride his motorcycle to his house and scare everybody away. Oh the people you meet!

The food was good, though it did take a while to come out.

We ordered garlic naan, chicken tikka masala and khile phoot, which is a cauliflower potato dish. The naan tasted like regular naan, good but not really memorable. The other two dishes were both very good. The samosa appetizer was excellent too. There were chunks of potatoes and even raisins in it. Interesting.

Afterwards, went to Michael’s to get some photo glue. The photo book I got from Australia is supposed to hold 4×6 photos, not 5x7s. I developed 5x7s and now I need glue to adhere the photos. Only I don’t think the glue I got is very secure. May have to get double-sided tape. Discovering my artsy-craftsy side. Then, wandered over to Whole Foods and got a ton of olives and 365 (Whole Foods) brand recycled toilet paper. I bought but haven’t tried Trader Joe’s yet but my sister thought maybe it’d be wise to do a side-by-side comparison.
