CURRY LIZZIE COLLINGHAM There were no chili peppers in India before the year 1500. So how, you ask, did they make vindaloo, that searingly, deliciously lavalike dish? They didn't. First the chili pepper had to make its way to India from the New World--kind of like long-distance takeout--catching a lift with Portuguese traders. In fact, the quintessentially Indian vindaloo is actually an adaptation of a Portuguese dish--the name is an Indianization of the Portuguese vinho e alhos (wine vinegar and garlic).

In its second season, The Office proves it's no one's poor American cousin; it captures the absurdities of white-collar life right down to the uncomfortable office parties at Chili's. Steve Carell (The 40 Year-Old Virgin) is dependably fatuous as a gasbag middle manager. But it's the relative unknowns, particularly Jenna Fischer and John Krasinski as co-workers with an unconsummated crush, that give The Office its charm. Never has a lousy job been so much...
...Patties will have the feel of a ‘drive through’ or a diner,” Brush said. “While initially our menu will start with a narrower focus on burgers and sandwiches, we also plan to offer items such as chicken wings, chili, cheese-fries, and onion rings...
