What are you eating and drinking tonight?

[Beefheart]

Spending a week in Amsterdam for work, so get to eat on expenses every night, makes me feel like an MP. Anyone know a good restaurant in Amsterdam by any chance? The rest of the team couldn't make tea last night so I decided to go for unlimited ribs as there would be nobody there to judge me. There was a bottle of tabasco on the table too, so I couldn't go wrong.

You could try one of the many Indonesian restaurants.

Last time I was there I think I pigged out at Kantijl en de Tijger.

Yeah...one 'was meeting a friend', the other was 'going back to the hotel to do more work'. I'm suspicious!

Two outstanding restaurants if the expense account will stand them: The Five Flies on Spuistraat and Bridges on the edge of the red light district... Think 60 euros a head...

Just about to go and get fish and chips for hubby and me. Every tuesday after i have finished my athletics coaching the fish and chip van in the track car park teases me with delicious smells but i can never get any as i have to dash home and help Mr Gooner Girl put the twins to bed but i have subcumbed today and now the babies are asleep i am off back out to buy some (Mr GG didn't take much persuading to have a takeaway on the sofa with me in front of the TV this evening...)

I threw a few tid bits her way...

And then we both had a little Roquefort and half a thimble of gorgeous, golden , sweet Malaga wine, the last of a bottle we brought back from Spain... Looks like this particular one is all but unavailable in UK...

[Lord Kangana]

Even in Clitheroe?

Good thought! Will check.

They have a large Spanish section, and whilst I didn't have nearly enough time to go through it, I remember thinking it was overly Rioja dominated.

Perhaps phone in advance?

[P.O.S.]

Without wanting to go all 2399 on everyone, someone told me they're making toffypops again - so I went to look for some in the local shop, but found they didn't have any, so I bought some chocolate instead and ate that.

Definitely - may be able to get them to find it since their Spanish buyers are proficient if we order a few... not an expensive number but very good - about 8 or 9 euros iirc - called Cartojal. Nice. Other Malaga wines we tried were just too heavy and sticky.

They had a nice Portuguese selection when I was last there - bought some good Douro at around twice or thrice the price I'd paid in Porto... But at least they had it - supermarkets hardly ever.

I don't know - that's a pretty good impression!

Friends up from London looking to touch base over a curry. So we took them to Spice Valley - the third time we've been there in a month...

They blinked on first seeing it, it looks so like some fast food place from the outside, but were drooling at the end...

Was very, very good. Again. And we were sharing bits of each others so a nice range of tastes - every one delicious. The best, imo, the chicken methi and the chicken saagwalla, but the other two not far behind (one a fish curry, the other paneer, can't remember of what kind).

'touch base'

did you run a few ideas up the flagpole? Some blue-sky thinking?

Yeah, by close of play.
