An Ethnic Dining Weekend

I know. You're probably wondering where are the Caravan Tour Canadian Rockies entries. Sorry! I promise I will get to it unforgivably late. I have been laboring away on Shutterfly to produce an 8x8 photobook of that trip since I had a deadline to get a free one with Coke Rewards.

In the meantime, though we've had some culinary adventures without leaving home. On Thursday, we walked down to the Brookside Deli for their new Indian food from 5 to 8pm on Thursdays. You can get a combo plate for $7.99 that would feed 2. It comes with 2 items plus Basmati rice and a naan. I had butter chicken and dal. For $1, you can add an extra item or naan. They gave us a punch card to earn a free meal. At the price and quality, you can hardly cook at home. We may doing this again on a takeout basis, since that is how they serve it whether you eat in or out.

This weekend was the 31st annual Greek Festival at the NC State Fairgrounds. Great as always. Crazy crowds today with NC State having a football game as well! They had NC artist, Bob Rankin design their t-shirt this year! Very nice. Clay bought one yesterday and the artist was on hand then to hand autograph purchases. So, we go for the food and the t-shirts! The shirts were the best since we've been attending in 1990 and the green beans the worst! Go figure.
