A particular tweet by a Richmond-area antifascist activist has haunted me for a year and a half:
if indian buffets never make a comeback after the plague, i will personally drag donald trump to the hague

Yeah, I was feeling this one, being a big fan of Indian food in general and Indian lunch buffets in general. I'm happy to report now that the venerable Royal Palace restaurant in White Plains, NY has resumed its lunch buffet from Thursday to Sunday. Luckily, I was able to visit the restaurant for lunch today, and while the buffet is not as sumptuous as it was in the Before Times, it presented a nice 'greatest hits' sampler of Indian cuisine, dishes such as chana dal, saag paneer, butter chicken, samosas, and various pakora. Accompanied by fresh-made naan, and finished with gulab jamun, it was a royal feast in a Royal Palace.
I'm not overly emotional, but it took all my resolve not to cry tears of joy. Similarly, I'm not a religious man, but I think I might have to mouth a simple prayer to Laskshmi for her bounty.
Still, Donald Trump should be dragged to the Hague.
