Happy birthday Jaithan!
what a delicious looking indian inspired menu. my boyfriend is also indian and I love trying out recipes he grew up eating, although I apprently never live up to moms cooking. Someday maybe...
I am actually making Tandoori chicken tonight as well, to be served asmurgh makhani (butter chicken). Although something tells me my table wont compare to yours! those cane glasses...

Happy Birthday Jaithan!! Sounds like Eddie has a delicious menu planned for you!
Eddie, Congratulations on the Budget Makeover article in August's Country Living! I was so excited when I saw your name...I said out loud,"I know him"!!!!
I just love how you updated that room, my favorite is the bookcase, it is accessorized perfectly! I can't believe you found that great couch and chair at a thrift store!
The only thing missing was a picture of you!

I'm having a half birthday party for my twin grandsons tomorrow, and a garden party Saturday for my husband's birthday.
