Here's to You

Who would have thought that it would have been such a nice day when Mrs Robinson threw in the towel? I bought British Strawberries (Class A) at the Coop this morning and am planning a picnic while I still can. And can't believe I have to close up shop for a while here.

I will saw one thing though about survival and that it is worth fighting for. The Standard Tandoori on Walton Street NEEDS to become more consistent if it's ever going to survive this eviction notice from St. John's College. Save standing out on the street with wih a picket sign saying "Capitalism too hot for you Tikka?", I will tell tell thim this: sort our your Palak Paneer!!!

It's always delicious but on any given night, this Indian restaurant will prepare one of about ten different versions of Palak Paneer. Sometimes the cheese is softer, sometimes there is more coriander, and sometimes there is none. Soemetimes they forget entirely to put in the onions. This can make for a nice taste in itself, but to survive - one needs to be consistent. How can anyone get an idea of how to judge you (which is everyone's favorite activity/job in this town), if you keep changing like a kaleidoscope? Keep the coriander, or throw it out with the bathwater (or whatever you have been boiling Okra in). Consistency is the key to at least giving someone a vague idea.

Take a hint from a landscape that always stays the same. The Salève never gets evicted you know.

Consistency can be no fun too. I always get a cold in June
