Ash Wednesday Lunch

Today is the first day of Lent, the 40-day pilgrimage to the glorious death and resurrection of Jesus.

I observed this very meaningful day by attending the 10:30 service at the hospital chapel this morning.  Father Boniface led the service.  A gentle and kind man he is.

For lunch, I went to Maurya Indian restaurant on Broadway near Burrard, with my classmates and supervisor.  The food there is fantastic, especially now that I'm off meat and coffee.  The vegetarian options there were quite amazing, including jalfrezi, malal kofta, palak panir,  and my favourite, aloo gobi.  Of course naan bread and chai are two other must-haves, not to mention the two desserts, kheer and gulab jamun.
