Lunch and Pandemic

We shamelessly asked for lunch at D and I's. Ordered food to be sent over. It was a busy weekend and none of us could cook Indian food as well as the restaurants do! D had awesome Indian food delivered from Omar Shariff. The food items she chose totally hit a spot.

Once the stomachs were full and happy, it was time to start on a new board game. We didn't google anything about 'Pandemic' before playing it. Literally relied on the instruction manual, which was rather thick. We quickly realized that instead of players competing against one another, it's a cooperative strategy to beat the virus and the infection. It was pretty cool. This is the base game. Apparently there're three or more expansion sets, and new rules of challenge kits. But first, let us deal with this because we need to learn to win and we can't play this game with fewer than four players, or  the rules ensure that the epidemic inevitably triumphs.

In between we had a lovely bottle of wine, and homebaked banana cake. And we ate fat bananas from D's garden that looked all black, but it was super sweet inside. And that was the afternoon spent in laughter, some sort of intellectual thinking, and a whole lot of fun. Before we knew it, it was almost 6pm. Wooohooo.
