I am lunching with a bunch of ladies this week, but yesterday's experience was just ridiculous. The woman I was going with wanted Indian or a local deli/grill. I figured we could go to my favorite Indian restaurant. We get there - CLOSED ON MONDAYS! What!?! Luckily, she knew of another place close by (there are A LOT of Indian restaurants in the area), so we headed there. Ordered an appetizer of pakoras. Nibbled on those while sipping on complementary ginger and lemon tea and BOOM - power goes out. REALLY?!? Waited a few minutes to see if it would come back, but there is construction nearby and it was the whole area down to the traffic lights. Third time's the charm??? We ended up at the deli/grill for a tasty lunch and laughed at our misfortune. Accidentally took a 1.5 hour lunch 
But we had to eat!! The universe just did not want us to get any Indian food for lunch, apparently.
