This would be where you'd write something about yourself and/or your weblog. Tell everyone what a swell guy or gal you are. Nothing major just a teaser to make 'em giggle.

There is a ceiling to how great a lunchtime buffet can be, and the new India Delight in Columbia strains to reach that height.
This is a broad buffet. You sit at white-table-clothed tables, but you walk to two long tables to pick your own food. On a busy Saturday, the first table started with rice and then held curries from spinach paneer, green beans and vegetable korma to dals, lamb and chicken tikka masala. My plate was full before I even reached the second table where a chef made potato dosas, and warming trays held pakoras and tandoori chicken.
That is a huge diversity, and every dish looked fresh and tasted good. India Delight’s skill turns up in the simplest part — the bread. Naan on a buffet can be soft and tasteless. India Delight’s was crisp, warm and really just as good as the best places around. Of course, buffets have to spice at the mildest level. That keeps an India Delight lunch from matching the full magic of Indian cooking unleashed at House of India or Mango Grove, particularly in the vegetable dishes to my taste.
But don’t get me wrong. I filled an entire second plate, and I loved the potato dosas, which I had never seen on a buffet before.
