My girlfriend Kelly and I have been talking about going to an Indian Restaurant for a while, and one of her co-workers has taken her here a few times for lunch, so since I treated dinner last time she took me out to this restaurant. The place was almost empty, but has a great atmosphere and an extensive menu. Not only that but the service was above top notch. I have a feeling this place keeps open by their delivery, because there were not enough customers, but the food was excellent and tasty and well worth trying again, and includes Vegetarian and non-Vegetarian cuisine.

Guenoc lake County Sauvignon Blanc 2005


This is a pretty inexpensive wine that is incredibly tasty, with a crisp fruity flavor. I never really liked Sauvignon Blanc until I had this wine, and now I am a total fan.

FoodSaver Quick Marinator 1 1/4 Quart Canister

This extra is the main reason I wanted a FoodSaver. I had a cheap $20 device at one point that you would put your food and marinade in and pump out the air to quickly marinate the meat., unfortunately it broke, and it seems the company stopped making them, so I wanted another because being able to do overnight marinating in just 10-20 minutes is an amazing time saver, and I must say this accessory for my FoodSaver is exactly what I wanted.

FoodSaver Bottle Stoppers

This is a 3 pack of Bottle stoppers for Wine Bottles, so you can reseal your wine without any air in the bottle and make your wine last longer.

Tilia Advanced V2490 FoodSaver Vaccum-Packaging System

I have always wanted one of these, not only to save my food, but also to use to marinate food. And when I saw this at Costco for $100 I decided it was time. The set also included 3 canisters for dry food, and 2 rolls of bags to save the food.

Breville 800GRXL Die Cast Indoor BBQ and Grill, Brushed Stainless Steel

This was a Christmas Present from my Grandmother to me this year, and immediately replaced my Large George Forman Grill for my indoor BBQ and Grill of choice. This thing is heavy and built well with many features that are not seen in other similar models. I can't recommend this thing more highly. It has features that make this the best indoor electric grill I have seen.

I have eaten here before and though it was alright, though I must say this time I was very unimpressed. My girlfriend insists the pizza was excellent, and honestly I did not try the beer, but the only thing that was impressive was the desert.


I went again for my friend German's birthday, and enjoyed it a bit more. This time I had a calzone, and some beer, and we have the pizza sized Pizooki. Damn that thing is evil!!!
