Faithful readers will remember when I reviewed Luminous in the Westin BWI that the fortune cookies were advertisements for the restaurant. I had taken a couple home. Today when I got home after running some errands, my husband said, "I ate a fortune cookie today, and it said something about having dinner at Luminous."

So that's where we ended up waiting for my brother's flight once we picked up my daughter. I thought it was a good choice because when we ate there before it took forever, and we had three hours to kill. Of course, the service was superb this time round, just when we didn't want it to be. Unfortunately the menu has been drastically pared down, so it's more expensive and there's less choice.

Strangely, we find ourself in the middle of an Indian wedding. Gailor and I are in our jeans, everyone else is in beautiful saris. Now we're waiting in the lobby. I'm typing this; my husband and daughter have wandered off to see if they can snag some gulab jamun.
