Good day! Great food!
Sep. 9th, 2009 11:52 pmNot a bad day, overall! Yesterday I tried to break my foot off while helping with the Actors' Theatre strike. I slipped on a stair, fell, caught my left toe, and basically super-duper-mega-hyperextended my ankle. I was totally not ok yesterday, but this morning I was feeling better (if still pretty gimpy), and this evening I'm feeling almost whole (even if my ankle still looks more like a cankle).
I spent about 2.5 hours fixing a friend's computer today... it had Unprotected Computer Syndrome (i.e. lots of random crap), but the straw that broke the camel's back was the Windows Police PRO virus/fake anti-spyware program. Annoying, but I felt accomplished when I was done (even though it definitely took longer than a professional would have).
J and I went out to the Dublin Farmers' Market this evening to grab some tomatoes and fruit. There was something weird going on, and there was no market to be found, just a couple producers packing up in not-the-usual-place. I mourn the lack of tomatoes, but not much. Why?
Banana Leaf.
You know, the amazing vegetarian South Indian restaurant on Bethel? Yeah, we went there en route on a whim. But here was the thing: though they had the usual lassis, chaats, and dosai, their buffet? Gujarati. GUJARATI! I have never eaten western Indian cuisine, and it was absolutely amazing. They're keeping the Gujarati menu through the 13th, and you should go. Hell, I should go again. Banana Leaf. 816 Bethel Rd., in the back-left of the shopping center at the northwest corner of Bethel and Olentangy River Rd. http://www.bananaleafofcolumbus.com
And I made a fritatta out of the braised pork this midday. I was pretty pleased at the time, though now it pales in comparison to the dinner :)

Frittata of salsa-braised pork, peppers, onions, Blue Jacket Creamery Ludlow cheese. With salsa amarilla adapted from Lisa Fain's recipe.
