This past Sunday, I joined a friend for lunch in Alexandria. Bombay Curry Company. Their buffet was small with very little selection, but what they had was fantastic. I ate EVERYTHING! Three times! I should’ve stopped at plate two though. A. I felt stuffed. B. They stopped taking my plate away after plate two. C. They stopped refilling our water glasses. Yeah if that wasn’t a subtle hint to stop eating, bringing us the check before we even hit dessert made it crystal clear. No matter, it’s a buffet. I wasn’t expecting top notch service. The food alone left me very satisfied. Usually I prefer the rice but their naan here was so good I couldn’t stop myself. I would come back – though I’m not sure they’d want me back since I eat like Sonia Thomas. After lunch we went shopping at all the little boutiques along the road. It was over 100 degrees and we walked about, ducking from one air conditioned shop to another. I don’t know how these businesses stay afloat selling some of the old-lady clothes and tchotchkys and trinkets. I guess folks are still unaware of the magic of Etsy. Still, we both enjoyed window shopping, appreciating the fun of just browsing random shops one after another. I did buy one useful thing – a lightbulb. Finally when we could take the heat no longer, we headed over to the Dairy Godmother. I got their lime mint sorbet. So refreshing! I like this little town, Alexandria.
