It's my irl bday today.
To celebrate I'm going to attack more jasmine. Then dins with the fam (w/ bro / SIL oh no). P's are heading off early to Qld tm morning so just doing Indian takeaway. They have a nice dining room so it seems silly to go out. 5 of us and the local Indian takeaway joint does a good deal for 4 for $99. Bro and SIL are getting half portions.
OMG happy birthday BR!
I got duped into paying 60 bucks last time I went for indian :(
Thanks Baku! $60 for one!?
Unfortunately yes. Kind of embarrassing, but I walked in and sat down. I fully intended on just getting 1 plate with a can of drink, but she was like "you don't want any starter????????!?!?!!!!?!?!?!?!!?", so I got 1 naan bread. But then she said "oh my gosh, you only want 1??? Are you sure?!?! Are you sure you're sure?!?!???", so I got 2. Then for the drink, she seemed disappointed I was only getting a diet coke, so she recommended the mango lassi. I'd never heard of it, so I tried one. Then for the main, I just wanted a small curry on rice, but she convinced me to get a spicy lamb soup with a very large side of saffron rice. Then obviously I skipped dessert.
That's the day I learnt how to say no, because fucking ouch. I had a fair bit of extra money that week, and rather than saving it like a normal person, I decided to just be a silly little idiot and "treat myself", only to not say no to anything and spend a fucking shit ton for a single meal. I'm pretty sure it was actually $68ish and I think they stung me with card fees. Ooft. I did take a fair bit home with me though, but that killed my plans to go see a movie afterwards, because I didn't want it sitting in my bag all night and going off or something

Happy birthday, hope there's no nastiness with in laws and the weekend erases any yucky things from this week! Make sure you don't get a half portion. And if it's good I wanna know where it's from.
Thank you :) Thankfully they were chill.
It was very good food from Kew curry house. Used to be called Aachis I think.
