i like the original bettter. i like the sleeveless too, maybe because they're not plain, i got the studded and the lace back. the short sleeve didn't have details. maybe wait for when they come up with more styles.
I'm gonna take them out of my cart!

i think citrus was giving you the definition of the word. i am seeing the same explanation when i look it up - masala is the dry spice mix that can be added to curry.

a popular dish is chicken tikka masala, which is a saucey stew like you mentioned. i guess it's made with tandoori chicken masala, which is chicken made with masala spices. i'm not sure if that helps.

IME tikka masalas are sweeter than curries. i also like korma - that's made with a little bit of yogurt i think.

if you like spinach, you should order something with saag. that's my favorite indian dish... anything with it - i love that green mush! plus, i like to tell myself that it's healthier since it's made with veggies. :lo l:

i'm hungry now, thanks. : P

anyway to answer your question, it should taste similar if not the same if you order the lamb curry. but perhaps your lamb was cooked with masala spices - the lamb curry meat may not have been. it's hard to say without seeing the actual menus to compare (and even then - i am by no means an expert in indian food - i just enjoy eating it).
Thanks for the info. This is the description of the dish I ordered. LAMB BUTTER MASALA Boneless pieces of lamb cooked in Indian spices with tomato, butter and cream sauce. I'll have to look for the restaurant down there to get their curry dish descriptions. I saw saag on the menu Friday. I'll try that, if the other restaurant has it.

Are you moving for the summer or moving for good?

Quote from longislandgirl :
same is for me , besides I don't know how to do a good makeup without it lookign too cakey. I would use more makeup if i knew right techniques to blend it and give myself a more natural look. Speaking of which I finally learned to do eyeliners without messing it up :lo l:
The key to non-cakey makeup is to apply with a light hand & match your skin well. Foundation & powder that's darker than your skin will often give a cakey appearance. When you get used to it, makeup is easy to apply. I still hate putting on mascara, but I can apply primer, concealer, foundation, powder, blush, contour, eye shadow & eye liner in less than 5 minutes.

I would order this [victoriassecret.com] I think. I am not big on swim items. I have tons i never touched any of it. I should start using some of it this summer or when on vacay in hotel pools :co ol:

I would, but they all seem to be lunch buffets. I never get motivated to go out in time for lunch. Embarrassment

I must be going crazy now... I had a dream that express put their clearance on sale for .25 a piece, and if you bought something, you got a free coupon (in the shape of jean shorts) for any pair of shorts... aye yai yai! LOL

...
I went to vote yesterday for the city mayor, council members, judges, etc and DH gave me a little piece of paper on who to vote for... spoke to my brother and he thought it was the funniest thing.. does anyone else do that? or am I just stuck in an era before I was born..? I'm too lazy to read on any of the candidates, don't like reading about politics or even listening to it.. I like to think that DH, who reads all this information and is actually interested, makes an informed decision for both of us based on mutual interests for government... and I then vote based on that information
...
I've been tempted to just follow what DH does. We usually take one night and go over everything together...disagreeing on a few things, but coming to a consensus on most. Cards are usually put out by political groups - and it can be the best they have to offer or the only thing they have to offer so regardless of what your party affiliation is, it's always good to google their name in the news (google.com/news) to see if they've done or said anything that doesn't sit well with you. I think if more people did just that little thing, we'd probably have fewer "legitimate rape" and crack smoking politicians (all political parties have their duds - there must be some warning sign that they were Crazy ).

Quote from azn1x6flame :
I just threw away quite a few things I was holding on to in my previous decluttering binges. It's so much easier to go back with a different perspective and toss things! The decluttering continues! I tackle my closet once or twice a year and I kind of feel that itch coming back...

Your DH sounds silly! I would be Mad if DBF broke a camera because he wants to look "cool." When DBF comes by, he usually has a backpack stuffed to the bring, sometimes with a laptop and that thing is so heavy, I struggle lifting it

Yes - you should call corporate on all three! It will make your returns easier. It goes by SOOO much faster without getting the ID swiped and saves so much time. At least for me because I do multiple at a time.
...
It works for DH too- heck, it's even more effective. After 6mos he doesn't even look, just says "toss it all". Yes..."silly" is what we'll call it for his sake Roll Eyes (Sarcastic) . This is the bag he brings [lowepro.com] even though we have a camera backpack as well. I think he thinks it's what the pros use or something? But whenever I see a special on nature photogs, it is NOT the sling. Well, maybe your DBF's backpack helps keep his core muscles in shape laugh out loud

I'll look into that when we get settled. Have a few days at the in-laws and then camping with wife-zilla shake head

i saw it as a thumbnail. i like the coral one better i think, but where is this one?!
I've seen both in-store. The coral one is selling out.
Quote from nerdicus :
porda - what size are you in sailor shorts? i think i need 1 size bigger... did you get the 0?

i added to wishlist after porda modeled it, as she and i are about the same height.
Sailors are weird for me. I bought them last year in Size 4, but they can be cut so differently so I'd try 2 sizes in all colors. The regular ones have a lot of stretch in them, so I would probably have gone with 2 if I bought them this year, but the 4's aren't falling off and leg holes are still good. Also an FYI, while I love the look of the linen ones, they wrinkle like crazy and I have to iron/starch them.

bra review:
my favorite bra at the moment:
dream angels perfect coverage [victoriassecret.com]
...
prob not. imo the arm hole looks super wide and when it's that long it looks funny with your skinny arm peeking out. just my opinion tho.

how did the sleeveless portofino look on you? i'm not all that excited about the style in general bc it reminds me of middle school/hs for me (i used to love sleeveless button downs).
I just got that bra in and love it too- way better than previous DA Demi's I have tried bounce
I feel the same way about the short-sleeve portofino as well as the sleeveless. The back is cute with the details, but the front looks blah on me and very 90s. It's hard to convince me to get into a sleeveless.

i may sit at home and wait for the sale! unfortunately it may still happen tonight... sorry!

shows you how long it's been since i went to a store... i haven't seen it in store at all.

doh, that means i'll need sailors in at least 4 for the roominess that i need. and thanks for the linen tip - i had a pair in cart. i'll take it out now.

i'm so glad someone else agrees with me on the sleeveless portofino. i can still remember 2 sleeveless shirts i had vividly - a white and a blue. i might be on board if it cut away a bit more at the shoulders, but in general it is very 90s. like GH says i guess every fashion trend cycles... i do heart the regular ones tho!

about the camera sling - i got DH a sling for the camera when he travelled alone for an extended period. the sling got good reviews - i think the purpose is that you can just sling it forward and reach the camera that way, rather than having to slip a strap off of your shoulder to reach the camera. easier access = faster reaction to cool things that you want to take photos of. the one we have really only holds a camera and like a pack of tissue tho - there's not much room for other stuff. it's not a backpack substitute.
