Curry + coffee
Janna, Christa, Simone
Jane invited a couple of us to her place in Oslo for the weekend, and Saturday evening we went out to a really nice Indian restaurant to celebrate Christa turning 40! It was a nice evening with REALLY good food!! I got to try some new dishes, which was really fun (and hot)!

Thanks for a fun evening and weekend!
Today: We are going to IKEA today to get the last few items we need for our new cupboard/counter top drink station project in the dining hall! We bought 4 small (2,5 liter) coffee pots which brew the coffee right into thermoses. These will replace the huge 40 liter metal monster that we have been using up until now, and hopefully will drastically improve the quality of the coffee (and of life)! We are installing a new counter top with cupboards on the other side of the room from the current drink station, which will hold all the coffee pots, the new 7 liter water cooker, the 3 milk dispensers and tea, as well as have a small sink on one end. The coffee pots and water cooker will be directly connected to water so we won't have to run it back and forth from the kitchen! We are all SO excited and are crossing our fingers it will be ready before AEG!!
Wow! That Indian food looks a little interesting and mostly amazing. Was it as hot as those evil little Chinese peppers that make you drink pitchers full of water? =)
Oh, I found a word that will describe you this spring/summer...
revenant(re-ven-ahn)n: one who returns after death or a LO-O-O-NG absence
Love you!
LOL, no, not THAT hot! The spicy dish was the round, curry-looking one. We shared all the dishes so everyone got to try everything and you just had to take a bite of that curry to spice all the dishes up! :D Revenant, huh? lol
Lol It's a valid word! Try it in scrabble sometime! ;)
It's so awesome to know that you consider 3.5 years away as synonymous with death!
N-o-o-o, I consider it to be a LONG absence. Death just happened to come first in the definition. =) By the way, on the fruit tray, whats the hairy lookin thing? And the other piece that looks like a candy watermelon? =)
Hehe, just HAPPENED to... The hairy-looking thing is a lychee and Stephen only knew the other thing in Indian. :D
And a lychee is???...
Btw, does no one else check your blog, or is our scintillating conversation too intimidating?? Lol
Google it.
Way too
intimidating!! :D
a lychee is a leechy strawberry
i kid you not it looks like a strawberry- ish fruit, but you peel of the skin to eat the delicious fruit on the inside...but the skin sticks to it like a leech.
tis true.
as in what it does is true.
the origination of the name i know not, but i had fun making it up.
btw: WHAT IS THAT HAIRY looking thing? and why do they have a pink onion slice, and more importantly where is the lychee ? the pink onion?
btw2: i know that it's all in the presentation...but i believe for all it's artistic worth it had a lot to be desired, in appealing to the palate.. mine at any rate. have never seen the likes.
btw3: i make nicer-looking indian food, right jenn?
Hehe, I took Stephen's word for it that the hairy thing was a lychee. The inside was very similar so I just assumed, but I just Googled it and it is actually a rabutan! haha.I have no idea what the pink watermelon/onion is. I agree that the dessert plate looks something like a nightmare! Otherwise, the food looked and tasted really good! :)
ok... hmm.. i like the looks of your gluten free toast way better...
Yay for Roshini's Indian food. BUT....it's been s-o-o-o long, I'm not sure I can make a proper judgment. ;)
