C'patra, Yeah still around, aren't I? All because of you! :-) Yes, the restaurants in and around Thamel used to do some splendid groumet etc... I once took my parents to one of the Chinese ones there and they thought, the dishes on offer were cracking. Oh thanks for your advice on the water intake.. have taken to drining loads, a few more gallons before this bug can leave in peace.. and tom is Monday.. Grrrrr... A few meetings and stuff. The week ahead looks mighty tough - kay garnay. Panjabi ray? So, you're a bit of a culinary freak, eh. I don't think, I have had a chance of sampling the Punjabi khana. Hey, sorry for asking a personal question but ... do you also come from my part of the big island, UK, ho? No need to answer. Being a tad nosey there. Hey, I have got to go hai ta.. sorry didn't have the chance to youtube the Ali songs. Some other times perhaps. Take care C'patra and good night. Carpe diem
