Annoying Neighbors and Indian Food

What is this a picture of? You have 1 guess...
Our neighbor's backyard, taken from our bedroom window. Their backyard is still decorated like a Christmas wonderland! Bright Christmas lights shining in our bedroom, and the moving/interactive inflatables make the dog bark like crazy. Today's date is now January 20th, just as a reminder. I'll start taking bets guessing when they'll take them down. I'm guessing March 13.

Best of luck to any friends and fellow bloggers running the Polar Dash tomorrow! Part of me wants to go and spectate, just to see how things shake out as there has been a lot of controversy about it (doubt it will be as much of a mess as the Hot Chocolate DC--then again not many are). In retrospect, I'm glad I didn't end up signing up. This week is my running group's annual hot chocolate run. We run outside, drink hot chocolate, and eat pancakes. Considering how cold it is going to be, I'm really excited about it.

Tonight Toph and I have a date night planned to a local (and only) Indian restaurant close by that has a dinner buffet. We haven't been in forever and I have an Amazon deal that expires next week. I absolutely love Indian food!

I'm hoping that they have my favorite dish... tomato sauce with cheese (aka shahi paneer). My stomach is growling just thinking about it. Buffet style is pretty much the only way I'll eat Indian food. I like to be adventurous but I don't want to commit to something if I end up not liking it. What are your thoughts on Indian food? Are you adventurous enough to try, if it isn't already a standard favorite?

  1. I think its so funny that they cancelled the polar dash last week and moved it to this weekend, which in my opinion is going to be messier than last!

  3. The lights are off on the front of their house, but their BACKyard is still fully decorated. So strange...

  4. I know!! It makes me wonder if the reason they gave in the first place was total BS.

  5. I love Indian food! And I got my husband into it too, he had never had it before we started dating (which is the case for him with a lot of food). I prefer buffets as well only because I like buffets in general. I always like to try a little bit of everything. Also even though I've had Indian food many many times, I still read the menu and have no idea what anything actually is. If the menu has pictures that certainly helps. (Personally I think all menus should have pictures.)

  6. I agree! Photos for every menu!!! (Fast food photos don't count. No burger or sandwich ever looks like that, EVER)

  8. Mm I love Indian food! I love anything with paneer, though my favorite dish is channa masala. With paneer naan, naturally :)
