I went to a Persian restaurant over the weekend (which was excellent), and I'm eating the leftovers now. Still delicious.
It's funny, though, because now I can actually see my food. The restaurant was a very nice, classy restaurant, at night, and so the lighting was soft and dim. In the harsh light of my office, my food's color is positively lurid. The saffron rice is really yellow, the cherry rice is a very off-putting shade of pink, the stew is really unattractive. (It all still smells and tastes wonderful, I'm not complaining.) But it's impressive how much better things look in romantic lighting and good plating versus in a plastic tupperware under florescents.
