I rolled home last night after three glasses of wine (my limit is now two and half) with work colleagues. My walk back to the soon-to-be-ex flat took much longer than usual, as I stopped to take lots of pictures of the sky, random buildings, the Shard, and, um, hanging baskets, and will post a few of the best ones when I find the cable thingy which attaches the camera to the computer. The few which aren’t blurred and wonky are actually quite striking, and show London as I love it but so rarely see it these days - dark, quiet and industrial, and set against technicolor sunset skies.
When I finally got home, bearing a bag of fragrant Indian food as a peace offering, M accused me of not taking the move seriously. He’s probably right. I’m dealing this in the way I deal with everything which I don’t like (which, for the record, includes change of any description) - by sticking my head in the sand and hoping it will all happen around me.
But I did say that I would review places I eat at, and I feel I should mention the lovely folk at Cafe Nawaz on Snowfields, SE1, which provided me with the aforementioned olive branch yesterday evening.
I have honestly (in all my travels, including around India) never had a more perfect sag aloo than the chaps at this establishment reliably rustle up: it’s buttery, delicately spiced, and somehow light, the saltiness of the spinach softly balanced against the velvety potatoes. The curries are also beautiful - without fail, each dish I've tried has been fresh and surprising, rich and fiery when required but, if not, subtle and light and oh so tender on the palate. And what’s more, the owners are absolutely charming, which counts for a lot in a city which is regularly voted as one of the rudest and most unwelcoming places in the world. Also, it’s a BYO, which knocks a good £10 per head off the bill at the end of the night.
Anyway, all this talk of food is making me feel hungry, so I’m off to get something to eat. I’ll post the photos later.
Basil.
(Incidentally, it’s just been pointed out to me that as each of glass of wine last night was 250ml, I actually drank almost a bottle in under two hours. I feel slightly mollified, but still pine for the days in which I could sink close to two bottles with no obvious ill effect. Apart from to my liver , obviously.)
