The four new flavors came out last week at CrunchDaddy Popcorn, and Mrs. HowChow has converted fully to the peanut butter and jelly variety. I was a bigger fan during the first sampling, but she defended the end of the sample bag last night. She loved the flavor -- peanut better on the kernels and chopped grape jelly beans that made the sandwich flavor and give a chewy texture on top of the popcorn crunch. Check out all the new flavors.
But man cannot live on candied popcorn alone, so CrunchDaddy has sampled file food around Howard County. At my request, he has helped revive the "Trolling" posts that ran through last year. People send me three paragraphs and a photograph -- recommending the dishes, restaurants or experiences that love in Howard County. CrunchDaddy's first suggestions go around the world -- India, Italy and Japan:

| House of India |
If I worked close to House of India, I would probably be there for lunch at least once a week (or struggle to restrain myself). Staples at the Columbia buffet include chicken tikka masala, palak (spinach) paneer, tandoori chicken, various vegetable curries (I prefer ones with cauliflower or chickpeas) and appetizers such as vegetable pakora, vada or samosas. The naan bread is hot, fresh and tender, the food incredibly delicious and the wait staff attentive, especially with keeping drinks filled, which is appreciated when eating spicy food. I suggest that you go hungry or even go on a weekend and make this buffet your main meal of the day. You'll find it tremendously satisfying and a great value.
