Sunday Night Date
For some reason, we like to eat out on Sunday evening. Historically this has been a problem in Minnesota. I remember a time when it was hard to find a restaurant open on Sunday evening that wasn't a 24-hour chain. But now there's lots. We decided to see a movie at the Lagoon so we could reasonably combine it with dinner at "Passage to India," one of our favorite restaurants.
"Passage to India" was as good as ever. They have the crispiest, lightest papadums anywhere. I should probably try something besides Kashmiri Lamb sometime, but theirs is SO good that I always get it. I have to wonder, however, why Kashmiri anything should have pineapple in it. It's hard to think of a locale less conducive to fresh pineapple. Or are there parts of Kashmir that are not high, cold mountains? Richard got Bombay chicken, which is another creamy dish but with entirely different seasoning that went very well with the lamb.
For the cinematic portion of the evening's entertainment, we finally saw "Juno." It was really good - much better than I expected for some reason. Maybe it's because I took so long to finally see it that the buzz had moved from over-hyped to backlash. It might not be as wonderful as the original critical reaction suggested, but it's a lot better than the backlash said.
