Happy Belated Valentine’s Day! February 16, 2011

Last night, the hubby and I made a reservation at the Taj Restaurant for Valentine’s Day.

It. Was. Perfect.

The staff are all incredibly nice. We were greeted enthusiastically upon  arrival. Had the choice of several tables that were reserved… I chose one in a corner surrounded by plants and a beautiful screen. The waitress was sweet and attentive, but was not popping up at the table all the time.

As soon as we sat down, an appetizer was brought to our table. Four delicious sauces to compliment spicy poppadoms.

The selection of foods was expansive, but not overwhelming. A buffet that looked comprehensive was offered, but Chris and I both decided to order off the menu. Chris chose a Chicken Curry, and I had Vegetable Korma.

Carrots, broccoli, cauliflower, mushrooms and peas, oh my goodness.  Just to add to the wonderful meal, we also had naan and basmati rice that were both to die for.

It might not seem like everyone’s go to romantic meal, but it made for a classy and delightful evening for us!

Also, just a bit of career advice for those of you who might be thinking about working with kiddos… definitely go do it! I’m not a Valentine’s Day hater by any means, but I cannot explain how loved I felt yesterday when several of my third graders came up and gave me valentines. They were so excited to bring something to me, and even if only one out of the 15 spelled my name right (I got lots of hether, and one hedder) it just made my day… probably my month. So, if you need a job that uplifts you almost every day, go work with elementary school children. Tons of fun and lots of hugs!
