Took the Ogwife and Oglet out
to a local Tandoori place for dinner friday night.
it’a a little restaurant right on US 41 damned near in the parking lot of a Walmart. It was, once upon a time, a gas station. Now it’s a small restaurant with good service and food that tastes very much as if you’ve eaten a campfire. Wife and daughter seemed to like it very much, and I was pleased that I remembered not to eat the chicken Vin Daloo. Consequently, today, I am not a hovercraft.
I do wish there were a good Indian place closer to home. There are very few cuisines I like more. Thai, maybe.
There’s a Bengali joint about ten miles south of me. My favorite is Tandoori quail. You get two birds roasted to perfection, a pile of curried rice, a bowl of innocent looking sauce made on a paint remover base and two or three veggies I never heard of before. Like you said, it’s like eating a campfire. The flavors, however are wonderful once the numbness sets in. Next day can be “interesting”.
I now understand why India has a billion people who’ve yet to experience a solid bowel movement. You could have toilet paper knitted by post adolescent blonde virgins from the underfur of unborn unicorns and it would still feel like 36 grit floor discs.
Going back next week. Wednesday, most likely. You gotta love it.
Did you ever make up the dish from the African Safari with the spice I got at Penzey’s. I’d be curious to see if it ended up being the same as you remembered.
Yes! Biltong, It was awesome. I wish I could make enough that i could get it out of the house, I’d bring some down.
Should have installed a seat belt when you were working on the toilet last week. It would help keep you… grounded….
Another pretty good place in another direction is Taste of India. The food is a bit less hot in seasoning. Waitstaff is excellent, food is also. If you can make the lunchtime buffet I highly recommend it.

A seatbelt on the Og’s throne would only cause the toilet to break free from the floor again.
Dave: that’s very probably true.
