Everyone wants us to see Last Chance Harvey, which is evidently a London-lover's dream, and I promise we will see it, but Kris, Katy, and I went to see Slumdog Millionaire instead. We enjoyed it very much even though it has some tough bits. The Bollywood finish is worth the price of a senior-citizen ticket (getting older does have its rewards). We had previously arranged "call-ahead seating" at Outback for an after-show dinner. Coming out of the movie, however, we all decided we wanted Indian food instead. Katy has the number for The Bombay House in her phone and she called in an order for take-away; waiting for a table at the Bombay House on Friday night is dicey. So we had a wonderful Indian nosh at home and finished the evening by watching Flawless. It made Kris so nervous she couldn't watch, but I enjoyed it.
We liked it
Kurma, tikka masala, biryani, raita, and garlic naanSaturday afternoon we went to Taylorsville to spend some time with the Hastings kids while their parents went to see Slumdog Millionare and eat Indian food. Anna had the opposite reaction to ours: she wasn't sure she could eat Indian food after watching the movie, but they managed just fine. Since it was to be a rather long day, we took Winnie with us -- separation anxiety often produces less than satisfactory outcomes. We bought sushi at Harmon's and we made gyoza and the closest possible imitation of the iceberg-lettuce-and-carrot salads frequently served at American Japanese restaurants. Grammy made her delicious chocolate-chip cookies and the meal turned out well
After showers we played a bit of the game of Life. We ran short of time and didn't finish, which worked well for me because I drew the career of teacher and had a very low salary (no surprise) and was massively in debt.

Winnie enjoys getting out, too

Thanks for the babysitting. We had a lovely time. And weekends are the best. Looking forward to the next one already!
Weekends are the best. I dread Mondays. The Brazillian looks delish!!! And we made our first homemade chicken tika masala. It was quite good if I say so myself. We'll have to share the recipe. It really wasn't too difficult, either.
Oh, dang it, now I am craving Brazilian! Looks like a great weekend, we saw Slumdog Millionaire too and really liked it!
I saw slumdog this wk end too!!Maybe you should wait to see Last chance Harvey with me!! I will be there soon. Dang if you kids don't eat well!! love Deb
Oh I really loved Slumdog Millionaire! It was a great weekend so thank you for the lovely date! (Some people might find it strange that I go on dates with my parents at the age of 23, I would say to those people, mind your own biznazz!)
I'm all for dates with the parents. GO for it Katie.
