Thank you all for the Congrats! I’ve passed them along to Matt. It’s fun knowing that there are Durham readers out there too:)

Friday was the perfect celebration. I took Matt to a cute Indian restaurant in the heart of the south end.

We enjoyed an awesome bottle of of spicy French wine, compliments of my mom!

We chose a vegetarian entrée, so we decided to order the meat appetizer sampler to get a taste of everything. I wasn’t that impressed with the chicken pakora or the lamb, but the tandoori chicken was awesome and the meat samosa was fun.

Everything else was to-die-for. We ordered naan stuffed with garlic and potatoes.

Shrimp masala

and a modern Indian dish called subz panchmael: red, yellow, and green peppers, artichokes, asparagus and bean spouts stir fried with panch phoran flavored tomato and green cardamom sauce.

Yall know I love big bowls of rice with sauces, so this meal was just divine in my eyes.

We didn’t want the celebration to end with dinner, so we walked over to the Parish cafe for a Belgian style Brooklyn Local. We split the big guy and chatted about fun future things like having a guest room and rescuing a kitty!

    Mela’s so close to my apartment but I’ve never been. Your meal definitely makes me want to though and I absolutely love Parish! Great way to celebrate.
