On day three of the blizzard, we ventured downtown.

Downtown was one big gray wet slushy mess. The snow was sliding off cars, and roofs, and lions. Besides a few snowmen, pristine white beauty didn’t hold long. Maybe on the shoes up on the tree. Puddles at the intersections were mid calf deep.

But we kept the eye on the prize — Himalayan Sathi in Gramercy.

Our off peak timing worked. We walked into a basically empty place. In less than an hour, people were waiting by the door.

Vegetable samosas, lamb momos, chicken tikka masala, and amazing coconut naan. And back uptown kneading the slush on the way to our temporary blizzard home.

This Tuesday I had a normal day in Aberdeen: no train travel, no ferries, no hashing, so an excellent opportunity some of the attractions I hadn’t been to yet, and basically just have an easy and relaxing day in the Granite City.

Read all about it—and see ALL the photos—in my latest blog post!

Heat up winter with spicy eats from local restaurants: Jasmine Mangalaseril | CBC News

During these cold and snowy days, the best antidote is some heat. That's why CBC K-W's food columnist, Jasmine Mangalaseril, took on the spicy challenge to find local food with a punch. From stews to sauces, she found some fiery and tasty options that will help us battle winter’s chill.

Okay. Mind blown. Have discovered a Nepalese/Tibetan dish that utterly mirrors one I ate in Tigray many years ago that I've found hard to find details of. Mind blown. Almost identical but 'red' (unhulled), teff in Tigray used and in the Himalayas it's a millet. Boiled to a cooked paste to access nutrients better and make more palatable then pinched and dipped or rolled in sauce.

Trying out another slightly-out-of-town #curry house. This one turns out to be #Nepalese rather than Indian or Bangladeshi.
It’s a mini-reward for resolving three important household issues*. #nepalesefood
1. Got a contractor to quote and start fixing the roof
2. Fitted a new induction hob to replace the cracked one
3. Got the Home Office to finally return a missing passport I did it with ONE email where the lawyer had failed after a(n alleged) year of trying.
