best indian food ever
Sorting through mountains of paper I've accumulated over the years, I came across an orange tri-fold takeout menu for the best Indian restaurant I've ever eaten at, Priya Indian Cuisine in Hokitika, New Zealand (tourist info, wikipedia entry). Hokitika is a small town on the west coast of NZ, mainly consisting just a small set of jade shops for travelers that are passing through right off a black sand beach. (All beaches on NZ's west coast have black sand, while beaches on NZ's east coast have white sand.)
I've had plenty of good Indian food before and since then, but there's something about the food at Priya that stood out. It wasn't even a fancy restaurant or anything, I remember it being the only restaurant that was open at the time, after 9pm. I can only dream of finding a Chicken Tikka Masala that can match up here in the US.
Back to sorting and cleaning… I think I have between 10–20 pounds of paper destined for recycling tomorrow.

Hey, Ken. Just wanted to say "Hi," and let you know that I will now be a [sporadic*] reader of your weblog.
Also, there's a Pakistani place that I really enjoy (Pakistani food being similar to, but not the same as, Indian food) right near Eastern Market, in DC. It's called Aatish on the Hill. TheBoy and I may be heading over there later this week, actually.

Ummmm --- I think it might be the fact that we had been eating nothing but shitty British food for awhile (remember the cafe where our choices were toast and spaghetti, toast and beans and of course toast and vegimite) and anything would have seemed yummy in comparison.
