Saturday afternoon, I was able to tear away from everything with hubby for a few hours. It was so nice because I don’t feel like we’ve seen each other much all week. First, we went to dinner at an Indian/Thai fusion restaurant called, Spice. I love Thai food, but was a little apprehensive about trying Indian Food. I wasn’t sure if I would like it. To say that I ended up liking it would be an understatement. Everything was delicious and so different. For an appetizer, we had panner, which is an Indian cheese. It was lightly fried and seasoned and was served on kabobs with peppers and onions. For dinner I had chicken tikka. The chicken was marinated in yogurt and had different spices like cumin, ginger and pepper that gave it an incredible flavor. It also came with a side of white rice and a mint and masala sauce. With dinner, we got a side of nann, which is an Indian bread. It was like a pita bread but better and the kind we ordered had scallions and panner in it. We found out that the restaurant is B.Y.O. and will definitely be bringing a bottle of wine with us the next time we visit.
After dinner, we went to see Star Trek. I was kind of dreading it because I thought I would hate it. There were some scenes that people were clapping that were obvious fans of the franchise and I just rolled my eyes. Overall, I thought it was action packed and entertaining. It also had some funny parts, which I wasn’t expecting. After seeing Wolverine last week and Star Trek this week, I’m in need of going to watch a good old chick flick.

I am so glad you think Star Trek was bearable. I think I'll be pulled into the theatre this weekend for that one. I'd rather hit it at the drive inn because then I could turn around and watch a different movie if needed. LOL!!! Sorry you had to work so much this weekend. I hope you get the upcoming one off. :) XOXO
I've never tried Indian Cuisine, but it sounds delicious! I'll have to give it a try!
Your post makes Indian food sound sooo good! :-) I think the new Star Trek looks way better than the original ;-)
I remember the first time I tried Indian food, and was happily surprised!
I also went to see Star Trek this weekend. I thought it was pretty good!
Your Indian meal sounds so yummy! I've been wanted to try Indian food but have been hesitant as well (although I LOVE Thai). Hope this next weekend brings more rest for you!!
I love Thai food! I'm having it at lunch and I cannot wait!
I loved Star Trek - but my dad always watched the show when I was a kid, so I had a pretty good idea of what I was getting myself into :)
Is it bad that it's 9:00am and I'm craving Indian food? Yummmmmm.....
Oh Spice sounds so fun!! I love Indian food!! (Again, wish we lived closer I think we'd have a blast at dinners out!! lol!)
And I'm glad that you thought Star Trek was bearable - I am currently trying to get out of seeing it! :)
I hope you have next weekend off to chill!!

The dinner at Spice sounds so good! It's been a long time since I've eaten Indian food and I need to try it again soon! Your movie tastes are becoming quite sci-fi lately! :-)
I have never had Indian or Thai food but it sounds yummy! And I have not seen either of those movies...made my husband and son go by themselves to see it! LOL You deserve to treat yourself to a movie of your choice now!! :) Have a great week!
Chris Pine is gorgeous. Almost enough to turn me into a Trekkie. :-D

I'm glad you were able to break away from work for a little break. I hope you have some rest and relaxing time soon. Gosh, it's only Tuesday and I'm ready for the weekend.
Thanks so much for the comment!! Both of the necklaces are from a Premier jewelry party I had last year. I don't know if they have them near you but you should check it out - it was a ton of fun and I got a bunch of cute stuff!!
