Well, that was a fun night

Mar 24, 2007 11:33

Sandy went to a rather unusual birthday party last night. Parents were to drop the kids off in Chinatown for dinner and then the entire party was going to go to a hotel for a sleepover. (The parents rented a suite for the night and put the girls in sleeping bags, but I still think that's a lot of money for a thirteenth birthday. But I digress ( Read more... )

(sends Sarah virtual chicken soup and the cute doctor of her choice to make it all better)

Bummer about missing Greek food. I love Greek food. Lamb! yum! Still, Lebanese food sounds great. I wish we had some in our town. I don't think we've even got a Greek place...but there's an insanely expensive (by my standards) Burmese place I'd love to try.

Then again, I could lick curry sauce off Giles all day....

Yes, that sounds like an insanely expensive thirteenth birthday party to me. What are they going to do for her Sweet Sixteen? After all, people who go to those lengths for thirteen are bound to do a major blowout for sixteen.

Still, I hope Sandy had a great time.

We still had lamb kebabs and they were very good, but Middle Eastern food is just slightly different from Greek. We actually have two Middle Eastern places in our neighborhood: one Lebanese and one Egyptian. The food is good and fairly reasonable.

I've never had Burmese food but there are a couple of Thai restaurants that are close by. Are they similiar?

I have no idea how they're going to top this. I certainly wouldn't go to those lengths for a kid's birthday. I guess that's what happens to only children.

'roe-spread'; Taramasalata by any other name, by any chance? As to paragraph six, what does Miss Manners have to say about this? We ( my pal & I) left an extra twenty for the housekeeping staff of the motel we'd been staying at back in '99 when it turned out he couldn't hold his Jameson's...

Mortifying? Dubbya's daddy heaved into an ambassador's lap on camera. That's mortifying.

And yes, Mid-Eastern is not Greek, but they both have hummous & pita...

Thank you! I have a weird blank spot about Taramasalata and can never remember it. I suspect I'll forget the name again in two minutes, sadly.

I got your addy, btw. I hope to have the CDs out by the end of the week.

Thanks. BTW, have you ever checked out any music-based communities? I'm sorry that classic_folk didn't get many nibbles. Also, did you ever belong to baroque_pop?
