Just back from lodge. Very good meeting tonight, though I was run ragged a bit, jumping from junior deacon (Kevin is sick tonight) to and from the piano. It's so much easier when one is just a steward.
Dinner was simple. We decided to honor Christopher Columbus (it's Columbus Day), so I served Indian food. After all, he was looking for India, so we brought India to Columbus.Indian spicings aren't my forte, so I had the meal catered by an Indian place in nearby Adams-Morgan, Jyoti Indian Cuisine. Meanwhile, I made mango ice cream balls for our dessert—I can do that much! LOL
Our menu ended up being chicken tikka makhanwala, lamb rogan josh, saag paneer (spinach and homemade cheese), aloo gobhi (cauliflower and potatoes), basmati rice, naan (bread), salad vegetables, raita (yogurt and cucumber sauce), chutney, tamarind sauce, cilantro sauce, and mango ice cream. I brought home a little bit of leftovers, but most everything was eaten.
Only two more dinners and one lunch to cook!
