Anniversary Makhni


Our 9th wedding anniversary is on Monday. Every year we dedicate an entire weekend to this milestone and celebrate the things we love about one another. Some years we adopt a theme. Since we are in the middle of the Paratha Project no theme required this year. (This is much better than the year we did a whole tropical thing complete with watching a ton of old Gilligan's Island episodes. Although I think Lisa looks lovely with her imitation Mrs. Howell blue diamond ring I liberated from a costume jewelry store in Glendale.)

Sol gave us an unintentional gift today, full into the swing of our project he wanted a snack to accompany his movie watching with Yael. "Dad, do we have any Indian food left that would be good with this movie?" "Chicken Makhni and garlic naan? Yeah, that sounds good." In a world where most 7 year olds would prefer a bag of fried/salted something or other this is a nice present to receive. (Chicken Makhni is a tandoor cooked chicken served in a saffron and tomato sauce; and fun to say, particularly if you repeat it a couple of times.) We took this evening off from the Indian food and had a delightful time at Crustacean in B.H. Sunday will be a day of cooking and baking :)
