Book and a Surprise
« on: July 28, 2014, 08:35 PM »
Just had a splendid week celebrating my 50th  :'(
Being a foodie my presents included
A butchery class token at the ginger pig
A Bread / Pastry or Patisserie course at an French Restaurant
And a La Cucina Caldesi course ( pissa making) Im building a Wood fired Oven

Now wait for it next Saturday it has been arranged that I cook at my favourite Indian Restaurant
Whoopee   ;D 8) 
Ive been wanting to get into their Kitchen for years     So best present ever

Oh the book an Indian friend brought me Made In India   by  Meera Sodha
Had a good flick through looks good street and home Indian cooking
Cheers Michael

Happy Half-century Michael  ;D ;D ;D ;D

Some wonderful gifts there.  I wonder which will turn out to be your favourite  ::)

All the best from someone else who is now officially "over the hill"  :-\

Thank you CH
I think the thought of being Fifty is worse than being fifty   If that makes sense  :-\ :
On my actual birthday my wife took me to the Imperial War museum    I think she was taking the pee
But ended up at the Connaught hotel for cocktails very plush  8)

Happy belated Birthday Michael, all the best. Some excellent presents there, especially cooking at the Indian, which restaurant is it?

Thank you Madrasandy
Its called The Blue Junction  in Morden
Not Bangladeshi  but very tasty    It has a big Indian following
I will have a close eye on the tandoori lamb chops  and to see what base they use  ;)

Looks very contemporary, not a Vindaloo in sight and some very nice sounding dishes on their evening menu. Look forward to hearing about your experience.

Happy Birthday, the Ginger pig is an awesome butcher albeit a tad expensive.
