Just One More Thing . . .
Yes, Columbus is growing (Thank the good Lord). Last night I did something I have been wanting to do for almost 3 years (aka ever since we left Maryland). Last night, I picked up the phone, called an Indian restaurant to place an order, picked it up, and enjoyed an Indian spread. This is something I have never been able to do here. It may sound trivial, but I could eat Indian food every day for the rest of my life. If someone said, "Ok Hannah. We're going to lock you in a closet for the rest of your life and you can only have one thing to eat forever." Hannah's response: "Ok, no problem. I'll take some Palak Paneer, or maybe some Chana Masala. . ." :-)
OK, so now that I have my Indian restaurant, there is just one more thing I really want. I told myself (and God) just last night that I could be satisfied with this nice change of having Indian food at my disposal, even though in the back of my mind I was thinking "well . . . if Columbus could just get a Starbucks . . ." And then I read an entry on Arin's blog today about the amazingly awesome-sounding new drink due in January at your local Starbucks (except that I have no local Starbucks). The drink is called Chantico. "Unlike hot chocolate, which is made from cocoa powder, Chantico is steamed with cocoa butter and whole milk."
God, will you please consider just one more addition to boring old Columbus, Georgia? (If not, then I understand I really do not need a place that sells drinks with 21 grams of fat).

Hannah: I'd like to think I'm some of both. :-)

For me it's Channa Masala all the way, while he's a Saag Paneer guy. As for Starbuck's, I could live without it...give me Peet's anyday. If you're ever in Northern CA (although htey are expanding), you'll have to check out the world's best coffee there. (Their teas are good, too!)
