During our very first visit to Falkirk, before we decided for sure that we would move here, we visited a tapas restaurant called La Banca. Apart from slightly overly salty squid, the food was pretty good and the restaurant was one I planned to return to. Even so, it hadn’t been very busy and I… Continue reading Dinner at Bukharah Falkirk
As I mentioned earlier this week, I’m terrible at actually going to The Fringe Festival. I’m paralysed by choice. There’s just far, far too much and I have no idea what I want to see so I end up seeing nothing unless someone else organises it. Fortunately, my friend B suggested we see a comedian… Continue reading Dinner at Tanjore, Edinburgh
We might not have planned it exactly, but having spent a slightly drizzly day wandering around Falkirk’s shops, I ended up buying a gorgeous dress from a lovely independent boutique called Quest, and I needed an excuse to wear it, so, even though it was a drizzly Sunday, we decided to give Sanam Tandoori a… Continue reading Dinner at Sanam Tandoori, Falkirk
Wow, this post is late. Sorry, I guess it’s been kind of a busy few weeks. Anyway, way back on 8th June, it was my penultimate day of work as a postdoctoral researcher at Glasgow University. In my research group there, the Institute for Gravitational Research (or IGR) it’s kind of a tradition that when people… Continue reading Dinner at Balbir’s
I love Indian food. In Glasgow, I used to live very close to India Quay, for my money the best Indian restaurant in the city, but certainly in the top 3. Since I lived so close by, I was often there, either dining in the restaurant or picking up a takeaway. However, even the proximity of a… Continue reading Takeaway: Noor’s, Falkirk
Not long ago I was wandering around the supermarket and spotted a boned leg of lamb that had been reduced. I picked it up, took it home and put it in the freezer, planning Sunday roast for the next weekend. Thing is, when the weekend came around I wasn’t interested in a traditional Sunday roast.… Continue reading Recipe: Slow cooked whole spiced leg of lamb
Every month I do a quick round up of at least five of the new things I’ve been trying. I find it’s a fun way of looking back on what I’ve been getting up to and a good way to keep track of things. I’ll put links to previous months’ posts at the end of today’s… Continue reading New things I tried in February
Last night I attended a bloggers event at Glasgow’s Crossing the Rubicon (CRT), a restaurant specialising in small curry plates and craft beer. I had been planning to visit this place since I first heard about them because craft beer and curry are kind of exactly my scene, so I was super excited about the… Continue reading Blogging the Rubicon at Crossing the Rubicon, Glasgow
Well, as I mentioned last Thursday, P and I have now been a couple for five who years. Hard to believe, right? Naturally, we couldn’t let such an event pass without some kind of celebration and so we found ourselves visiting Horn Please for a delicious meal. Horn Please hadn’t been open long before I started… Continue reading Dinner at Horn Please
I love Indian food. My eyes are always bigger than my stomach, leading me to order popadoms with pickles, starters, curry, rice and naan and be eyeing up the list of interesting sides before P reminds me that I am just one person and that I normally can’t even finish just my curry. I’ve been… Continue reading Top 5 Indian Restaurants in Glasgow
