There is a restaurant not to far from our lab that serves cheap curry that's pretty good. It's called Shaan Curry House (1489 Merivale Road, 228-9759). We love them, and we think they love-hate us. We make large orders. The largest to date occurred on November 21, 2004, and had 20 individual orders. To put this in perspective, Shaan Curry House is maybe the size of a master bedroom in a house. </p> <p> A curry is seven dollars. This makes for a difficult time if people don't have exact change. So, to get around this, we've started printed curry cash. If you only have a twenty dollar bill, then we will give you change in curry cash -- which can be redeemed for future curry purchases. </p> <p> We've taken to tracking our orders. Our order history can be found <a href="curries.png">here</a>. </p> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> </body> </html>
