Episode 20: Cruz brings Curry in a Hurry and Cash can use some more spice

Tuesday 12.20.10 and Mr X took a planned day off while Spa is out as well.  I showed up to work with just 2 thick slices of Banana Bread (Compliments of my Sister in LAW)
I decided to bring some Bangladeshi cuisine so went down to Curry in a Hurry, Lex and 23rd.  Trip didn't take too long but it ate most of my lunch time...
Left work: 11:35 and got back in the building 12:29.  Not much time left to eat but we made it work. (and yes I looked at my watch the constantly)
I brought/bought:
1.  Beef Kabab Rolls
2.  Vegetable Samosa
3.  A variety of dressings (Plum Sweet, Toxic green mint and Spiced yogurt)
4.  Homemade Banana Bread
5.  Diet Coke (Broke rule of no beverages but Cash didn't raise any objections)

Here are some pics of the place.  The kabab rolls are made by putting Beef (Seekh or Shish) kababs on a metal rod, than wrapping dough on them, the whole thing then goes into a brick oven- aka Tandoor (in this case a metal one) See picture below.  The guy then dipped the rolls in melted butter...

Curry in a Hurry is located on 23rd and Lex.  (my old college hangout joint for good food fast)

 



SLAW was very quick, food was OK kinda bland (not spicy enough for me or Cash) but I loved the Banana Bread ;)

(Hint to Sis inLAW: Send some more baked goodies anytime you want to)

Tomorrow, whole crew is back.  It will be nice to SLAW with Mr X, Cash, Spa again in one room and see what exciting stories Mr X and Spa bring from their holiday (mini) vacations.

Episode 19: Snow Day Cancels SLAW, Germany and New Zealand joins our audience and Cruz is gaga over Amy Adams

Its 12.27.10 and Snow Day in New York City.  No home cooked meals being shared in the office.  No SLAWing for the Team SLAW. I woke up and saw this outside my apt... No SLAW Day but... I am here to announce that our tiny BLOG on work lunches have reached 1350 views, and got few more viewers from different countries... New Zealand and Germany!!! Single views count.  They do.

And lastly, I watched Julie & Julia.  A movie about a girl, bored at work who decided to go through Julia Childs book on cooking and make all her recipes in 365 days and then blog about it.  Home cooking and blogging... Just a perfect movie for food lovers or Amy Adams lovers (which is where I fit in)

A SLAW Pick.  Highly Recommended. - Cruz

Episode 18: The Lost Episode of SLAW - Cash brings Slaw to SLAW, MR X refuses to pour seconds and Cruz missed out on the Big Fat One!

Welcome to the Lost Episode 18 of Project SLAW.  Dated Wednesday 12.22.10. 

Cash brought delicious sandwiches to the SLAW loaded with Cole Slaw which packed great Flavor and yes, I loved it.

1.  Ham and Cheese with Cole Slaw Sandwich.

2.  Turkey and Cheese with Cole Slaw Sandwich.

3.  Veggie Straws.

4.  Home Made Cookies (Chocolate, Xmas Sugar Cookies, Big Fat Cookies and the Chocolate Caramel _________ ).

5. Diet Coke and Water provided by Mr X.

 

The bag of delights was gift from Mrs Cash to Cruz+family.  It was just delicious.  And what a great batch of cookies although I never got to eat the Big fat cookies cause "someone" took it from our table.  I did enjoy the Chocolate Chip Cookies.  This is the way to do SLAW, good ol' home made and baked goodies.  

This was the last episode of SLAW.  We will continue our adventures back in office starting 12.28.10 since 12.27 became a snow day for New Yorkers.

Happy Holidays Everyone!
