On Saturday night, Devin and I had the rare opportunity to have some adult time on a double date with Pete and Michelle. They have a live in helper, Marlin, and she stayed with the kids while we went out. We went to Little India in Singapore where I had never been. OH my I LOVED IT! Seriously, you walk down the side walk smelling incense, seeing the most beautiful women dressed in sari's, shining, glitter, silk...smelling so good...resturants wafting the flavors and smells that can almost make you fall over they are so delicious, carts with fresh, crisp vegetables, stores filled with sparkling bangle braclets and henna tatoos...oh pure delight. We ate dinner at a resturant on a corner- the road rumbling with life. We sat at a table outside practically in the street, but gently lit. Pete ordered for us as the menu was about 25 pages long...Indian food is one of my favorite pleasures- so how could I choose off a menu that big??? We had Chatta, palak panneer, mutton, lentils, naan with herbs, yougurt sauces, mint sauces, spicy and sweet, saffron rice and Kingfisher beer oh my! Then we strolled around and for fun they took us to this backpacker spot they had stumbled on...on the back patio surrounded by bamboo I looked up and watched Devin drink a beer the color of the northwest and thought....where am I Oregon....oh no Asia!!!! Fun night- best food ever...and great dear new friends.
