Day 1.109: TV! Dinner?

Today is one of those days best dwelt-on as little as possible. I was very unwell this morning with a headache that couldn't be lived-with and resisted all treatment for at least 5 hours. I feel much better now.

So, let's talk about something completely different. Here we are on TV! Fame at last.

As British people living in the US, we are always keeping a look-out for (or using the ex-pat grapevine to find out about) new opportunities to eat our national dish. So it was with some interest that we greeted the news of a new Indian restaurant opening in a nearby town. We have not yet sampled their food, although I hope we will do so soon, but we have enjoyed the other pleasure that Indian cuisine brings to our lives - the wording on the menu. So, if you're local why not visit Zaika and tell us how the food tastes. Otherwise check out the menu for such joys as:
  • "Rice Preparations" including, unusually, "Goat Biryani" - specifically 'chunks of goat'.
  • "Vegetable Pillao - Mixed vegetables and rice cooked together for a delightful outcome.'
and best of all:
  • "Kadai Chicken - Chicken cooked with peppers and onions in a "c" shaped cooking apparatus."
Actually - the menu does look good - I'm getting quite hungry - I wonder when they close?

And here we are again!

  1. I was particularly intrigued by the 'Lamb and Goat Creations' section of the menu...presumably such offspring would be either a 'geep' (goat/sheep) or a 'shoat'? Probably both have a tendency to flock together and have an irrational fear of black and white dogs and men wearing flat caps and whistling.

    Also, the concept of a cylindrical lamb was quite interesting. Wouldn't they just roll down the hill?
