it's a tradition of my family to celebrate birthdays at a restaurant of the birthday person's choice. daniel decided to have his celebration at earth indian of restaurant makeover fame.
there was 2 appetizer platters, 6 curries, 2 bowls of rice, and 10 naans shared among 8 people (my family + cousins). the food was devoured in about 15 minutes.
the problem I find with communal sharing of food like such is that people tend to eat as much as possible, as quickly as they can, in order to try everything before it disappears.
then I get indigestion.
my cousin laura got itis and fell asleep as soon as she got home (at 9pm).
daniel, on the other hand, found his spinach in naan (or was it the saag paneer) and gained superhuman energy and stayed up really really late.
my family loves the birthday dinners. we never go anywhere fancy, but it's so much fun trying to manipulate others into choosing a restaurant of his or her choice and trying new restaurants. there will be a birthday drought for the next few months, but come april, we all begin the cycle again!
