food and lighting

this past friday i had dinner with my brother.  i'd been craving pizza all afternoon so i suggested california pizza kitchen and lucky for us, the wait wasn't too long for a friday night.  we were seated within 20 minutes and ordered sesame chicken ginger dumplings, singapore shrimp rolls and goat cheese with roasted peppers pizza.  everything was de-li-cious.  i can't say that i've ever been disappointed with a meal from there but then again, i haven't tried EVERYthing on the menu.  i was a little bummed because we had managed to overlook the "new" mango tandoori chicken pizza:

Grilled Tandori chicken, mango, mild onions, red peppers and Mozzarella cheese on a SPICY Golden Curry sauce. Topped with fresh cilantro and a sweet mango chili sauce.

seriously, how could i have missed out on ordering something with SPICY golden curry and sweet mango chili sauce on it?!  i definitely want to go back to give that pizza a try.

here are some photos from dinner...

oh, and lately i've been on a kick of photographing light fixtures while i'm at a restaurant.  this one was above our table and it almost looks like an illuminated champagne flute.
