we were there for 4 days.



we did go into this pub for some F&C and a pint. i don't like beer
but i managed to get 1/2 of it down.

NOW, the indian food i am super into and found a great place
a block off oxford. at the end of the lamb curry they gave you
a scoop full of spices to chew? i did, i little too long and it started to taist like dove soap. i think i should have swalloed sooner. ]
then 10 min later my face got hot liek i was sunburn. our whole
group did? lol no telling what was in there. felt like a alergic reaction.

Watchin' you. Writing it all down.
Nice move marrying Julianne Moore.

As for the after dinner spices/seeds. I know that many Indian resturants serve fennel or anise seeds (very similar) after dinner. Sometimes they are candied like m&ms.
