Indian Food

Need some help folks - we're going out for Indian at lunch. I've never had Indian before. So...recommendations please! *g*

Traveling

Can I just say...I'll never have a career in motorsports? OMG. I hurt so bad right now. I couldn't run a Busch Nationwide race and then a Winston Nextel Sprint Cup race the next day. Which is what I essentially did Tuesday and Wednesday. My arms hurt. Which is the funny part. My right foot is feeling better and my right knee hasn't ached since Wednesday, but my arms and shoulders are killing me.

Weather

The question becomes...do I tempt fate? We're currently getting those stupid weather predictions in NC where they say "100% chance of wintry mix!" that sends everyone running to the store (and is followed by slush and no ice on the roads at ALL), and now they're predicting "a 20% chance of snow" for tomorrow. Which is just a lame chance. But you know what it means - if I don't go to the grocery store to get my caffeine tonight, we'll get two feet of snow. And if I do go get caffeine tonight, we'll get nada.

Indian Food - The Verdict

I get almost annoyed when I walk into a restaurant and they pretty much force me to get the buffet. Because quite frankly, I want to make my own choice, and the buffet doesn't necessarily always have choices.

In this case, there were only two things close to what was recommended by the fab f-list on the buffet - tandoori chicken (which was okay, but it had been westernized, so the flavor was lacking a bit) and vegetable masala (which was incredibly delicious and caused many a person at our table to rave).

That said, I think I'd prefer to go back there in the evening when I can order a full on dish. The menu is apparently very extensive.

The crazy part? All of us were eating away, talking about how we weren't full yet, and each person had a moment of taking one bite and suddenly they were full. LOL (Which meant I really shouldn't have taken two more bites, because I went from full to "OMG, almost miserably full" in that two bites.)

New Year's Resolution Update

New Year's Resolutions

Well, it only took forever it feels like to find what I'm going to do for January. It seems that certain things are harder to find to do than I thought. Luckily I finally found a good volunteer opportunity - the zoo. I've sent in my application and hopefully will be contacted soon regarding opportunities.

(One seemed *perfect* - Zoo Host - for what I could walk in the door and do, especially since they need Zoo Hosts mostly on Saturdays, but it has the condition of needing to be able to handle weather extremes. Um, yeah. That could be problematic.)

So I volunteered for a Zoo Host, Wildlife Rehabilitation, or someone who stands around near exhibits and knows stuff about that exhibit. Hey, want someone who knows too much about meerkats already? Pick me!
