Happy Thanksgiving

A few of us made plans to have an authentic American Thanksgiving.....A restaurant here advertised in the paper that they were serving an American Thanksgiving at a restaurant called the Starlite Diner. Eight of us loaded into 2 cars and drove out to Starlite Diner to find the Diner dark, empty, and roped off. It was clearly closed and the only signed posted was....of course in Russian. None of us could figure out what the sign said, but it was clear we weren't having turkey dinner at the Starlite Diner.

We began walking down the street in search for a new restaurant and found an Indian place. Why is it that Jim and I always end up at an Indian place? We don't even really like Indian food?!?! But the restaurant was open and they had a free table big enough to fit all 8 of us and we ended up having a great time!

So for all of you who enjoyed turkey and mashed potatoes and pumpkin pie on Thanksgiving.....we had nan, chicken curry, and saffron rice!!!! We found out the next day that Starlite Diner had a fire and had to close and who knows when they will reopen. Just our luck?!?
