Date Night

Marty and I just came in from a date... not just a date, but a theme date. We went to see the movie Monsoon Wedding and followed up with dinner at Tandoor, our favorite Indian restaurant.

Maria had told me to see this movie, and she was right, it was really good. It was a nice blend of romance and family drama, and set in Delhi. I didn't realize before I went that the director, Mira Nair, was also the director of Salaam Bombay!, which I saw back in 1988 when it was first released. What a great film that was. Absolutely amazing.

For dinner tonight we had mughlai korma (chicken korma) and alu chole (chickpeas and potatoes), with naan and papadam. Yes, papadam! And Kingfishers, of course. I ordered the alu chole "medium hot" and it was still not very spicy. I think next time I'm going with HOT!
