Ah! The phone rang and I heard those wonderful words… "Wendy is coming home to pick you up. We’re meeting at Taj Mahal for dinner".

A bunch of us — Michelle, Debby, Jo, Julie, Wendy, and Drew — met at Taj Majal. I let our server pick for me and he picked (yawn) Lamb Masala. I was hoping for something more exotic and a bit further off what I normally get (Chicken Masala), but there’s always next time. The lamb was very good!

Wendy had chicken biryani, a batura, and a mango milkshake.

But at least the server is back up and running.

Tonight, we decided to eat at LaRosa’s, and instead of our usual delivery, we actually ATE THERE! Wendy had ravioli, and I had a nice hoagie with some of LaRosa’s new "kitchen chips" — thick cut potato slices that are fried and seasoned. They would…
