Has the weather in Fairbanks not been AMAZING the past couple of days?? With highs in the upper 70s and a slight breeze, it is nothing short of idyllic. Well, we could get rid of the mosquitos without any complaining, but I don't think they're going anywhere.
Anyways, Marshall's schedule has been all messed around, so we decided earlier this week that we needed to take the opportunity to go on an extra date on Thursday before my mom gets here next week. What did we do? Nothing fancy, but it included food, sunshine, exercise, and cuddling on the couch. Not bad for a date.
My favorite ethnic food is Indian, but I didn't think we had any restaurants in Fairbanks. Until I heard a rumor that the Pizza 4 Less restaurant sells Indian food to go if you ask for a menu (click here for their menu). How random is that? But it's definitely legit, because the owner and his wife (the cook) are both Indian and their pizza parlor smells like Indian food. Go figure! I called in our order, and then we rode our bikes to redbox and picked up a DVD. The food was ready for us to pick up when we arrived at the restaurant 40 minutes later, and I was so pleased with the friendly service! Because we rode our bikes, I was hoping the food would be in plastic grocery sacks so we could easily carry it out. But it was in a cardboard box lid. With a smile I asked the guy if he had bags, and he willingly went into the back to find some and when I told him we were on our bikes, he smiled a bit and said, " ya I saw that." :) He packaged our food up so nicely and said, "your food should be safe for the bike ride now."
Basically what I'm trying to say is that the service is amazing!! And the price was really fair and decent too. Especially for Fairbanks. Sure beats the Pump House, and unlike many Thai places in town, basmati rice is even included in your meal! A LOT of rice too.
We took our "picnic" across the bridge downtown and sat in the shade on the grass by the side of the Chena. We ate our food like Indians...by using our Naan as spoons because they forgot to give us spoons. What did we eat?? Oh my goodness, I had Navaratan Korma ("an assortment of vegetables cooked in a mildly spiced, creamy cashew and almond sauce.") and he had Rogan Josh ("tender cubes of lamb cooked in traditional Punjabi masala"). We ordered two slices of Naan, but the slices were huge, so we were not disappointed. And the fennel-flaked basmati rice, well, they were generous in that aspect as well.
Needless to say, we enjoyed basking in the glorious 6:30pm sunshine, and then biked back home to get some water and watch our movie.
I finally watched my first zombie movie. I've kinda been avoiding zombie associated things like the plague because I think it's ridiculous. But Marshall wanted to see "Warm Bodies," and since it was a love story, I figured it was worth a shot. Though I'm still not into zombie apocalypse pop culture, this movie wasn't bad at all. :)
It was just wonderful to be able to take advantage of the time we have together, while we still have it.
So if you're ever craving Indian food in Fairbanks, well, you know where to go and it won't break the bank! You're welcome. :)

"Eating" pictures are always attractive. haha
