Indian Food and Simple Seasons

Friday night, we took a recommendation and tried Raj Mahal in Erie. Can we say, delicious? It was incredibly good. You can get your orders mild, medium, or spicy. We were with Brooke and Freeland and we all ordered the samosas, chicken curry- medium, chicken palak- spicy, and the chicken makhani- medium. They were all delicious and were delightfully spicy- cleared your sinuses right up!

Henry is grunting while he takes a nap right now in his little swing. Last night was his 3rd night in his crib. It didn't go as well as the other two nights but hey...variety is the spice of life. I am hopeful that he will have another night like Saturday night where he makes it at least 5 hours...that would be wonderful. Meanwhile, though, I am thankful to have a newborn and I realize how special this season is when I'm at the grocery store and see a toddler sprinting away from her mother yelling, "Nooooo!!!!" Newborns are pretty sweet and, really, this season is wonderfully simple in a lot of ways. Aside from the sleep deprivation, I am enjoying snuggling and holding and seeing him smile and interact with the world more and more.

Please do enjoy these last few months of sanity. Before you know it, they will be telling you what to do and where to stick it (haha, not really okay maybe a little)! I have never tried Indian food but you made it sound delish!
