"We Might Be Snowed in for a Few Days - Better Go Out Tonight!"

Day Six, continued. I un-Christmas-ed the house today. I always hate how bare and boring it looks after we take the tree down. I have a really crazy tree with colored lights and ornaments we've collected from our travels. I love it. And now it's back in storage for another 11 months. I'm sad.

The news is still calling for a major snow storm to start Sunday night. I had planned to make Indian tonight - red lentil and cauliflower curry with garlic naan and basmati rice. But considering that we'll likely be stuck at the house for at least a day (things shut down here in the Dirty South when it snows, unlike where I used to live - Colorado, Minnesota, and central NY), Chris and I decided to go out. Besides, it IS Saturday night.

We decided to go see "The Social Network" at the Plaza Theatre. I was pretty hungry beforehand, so we went to the Righteous Room for a pitcher of beer and some snacks. Salt and vinegar potato wedges - yum. "The Social Network" wasn't bad, just not all it had been hyped up to be. None of the characters were particularly likeable, so I didn't really find myself rooting for anyone to succeed. Afterward, we grabbed some Indian at Desi Spice. Like the movie, not bad, but not quite as good as it smelled when we walked in. We split a vegetarian dinner with garlic naan, vegetable curry, dal, aloo gobi (potatoes and cauliflower), and saag paneer. Okay, I know that the saag paneer totally has cheese and cream in it, but I ate some anyway. Again, no judging.
