collwenSaturday- Mino's Sushi/Thai (Albany). I had been here once before with ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
tetsujinnooni and chickipu_no_oni. This time it was tetsujinnooni, hotspurre, zimarra, and marnen (who had not been there before). The food is better then Bangkok on Wolf Road, and cheaper.
Sunday Suruchi- Indian (New Paltz). Marnen picked me up from my Rebekah's penny social in Highland, and we decided to go over to New Paltz for dinner. While wandering around, we found a street fair that was closing up on Church St. (To find out it's a weekly thing on Sundays). While wandering through the dregs of the merchants, we went to the Indian restaurant that I has noticed there before. Good gods... it's good. They had about the best samosas I've ever had. There's lots of vegetarian dishes, and they also cater to the range free/organic/vegan lifestyles too. They specialize in dosas it seems. Usually, and Indian place might have a single style of dosa as a special- Suruchi has several styles on their regular menu, with options of what to put in it as well (like adding paneer or spinach, or tofu) . I had the Goa Marsala one with paneer. It was HUGE. About 2 and a half meals worth of dosa. Even the nice waiter said that he can only eat a full one if he has no appetizers and hasn't eaten in hours.
Wednesday- Sukhothai (Beacon) I had leftovers from Mino's for lunch, and when someone asked me where I had gotten Thai food I mentioned that I hadn't found a Thai place around here. Another co-worker heard me and told me about a place which is about a block from his apartment. I arranged to pick Marnen up from the Beacon train station (after watching Clerks 2- good movie). The food is really good. They have some things on the menu that I've not seen, and Marnen hasn't seen in a while. They have a weekday special of a curry sampler (10 oz portions of 4 different curries) where you can choose what to add (vegetables, tofu, pork, beef, chicken, or shrimp). Its enough for two people and I still brought some leftovers home, and we split a grilled banana split for dessert (with coconut ice cream). The prices are decent.
