bombay house

to celebrate with jarom’s birthday money, we treated ourselves to dinner at bombay house in downtown provo.

this is one of our favorite restaurants. every time we’ve eaten there we regret being too full to finish our food, but secretly delighted that there will be leftovers for lunch tomorrow. I don’t typically like leftovers of any sort – but I’d probably eat chicken saag just for leftovers if I couldn’t have it for dinner. tonight jarom got the lamb coconut kurma and I fell back on the tried-and-true chicken saag. and this is possibly the most contented full feeling I’ve ever had.

I’ll sleep well, knowing that tomorrow there is more of that delicious food. even though it looks like something from a baby’s diaper.

colorful food

a few weeks ago we bought some red snapper at smith’s, because it was too good a deal to pass up. we ate half and put the rest in the freezer.

since then, jarom has been requesting “black & red fish.” we finally got the recipe from his mom last night, and I discovered it is, in fact, called blackened red snapper.

if you say it quickly, it does sound like “black & red” fish…

suffice it to say I feel rather silly.

pure ecstasy

I just ate a milk chocolate lindt lindor truffle. if needed, I would commit 8 of the 10 most heinous crimes in order to get more. they must serve this in heaven.

and actually, I wouldn’t really commit any of the 10 most heinous crimes. I don’t even want to know what they are. and I have more truffles, anyway.

but it should be noted that ambrosia and murder ultimately have the same etymological root: the Greek brotos, “mortal.”
