Dinner and Drinks With The Mamas
The Cool Mama is back in town! It’s great seeing her again after such a long break. She was in London till last December, but had remained home since, returning only a couple of days ago for further work on her research. So it’s wonderful to have her here right now with us in the hall, where she’s lodging with the Hot Mama.
I met up with the both of them this evening for dinner at the Giraffe outlet in the Brunswick Centre. It serves an eclectic mix of world dishes, and although I was tempted by the burgers and the Vietnamese curry rice, because of recent forays into each cuisine, I chose to go instead for the turkey enchilada.
Not a very judicious choice, especially when I found that it came with copious amounts of corn. Yucks. I hate corn. I didn’t read the menu description carefully enough. But the starters which I had, comprising a set of sticky Cajun chicken wings with chipotle ketchup and some garlic focaccia bread, certainly made up for it, as did the Belgian chocolate truffle cheese cake at the end.
It was fun chatting with the both of them, and we continued our session over a few drinks at the local College bar. There were discussions of soothsayers, sightings of rodents, and musings on how many shots of Baileys it takes for the effect to truly sink in. We have the Cool Mama in town for some time yet, so here's to more good food and good conversation in the coming days.
