cyan_blueHi folks,
I finally broke through the writer's block and got the "working with bi clients" article underway, for the GAYLESTA newsletter. It's now something that I could actually stand to read. Just a bit more to add, and then I can send it off in time for the 12/20 deadline.
Pet peeve for the day: Indian restaurant chefs who don't comprehend the term "mild" when it comes to spice. I have very little hot spice tolerance, and last night I ordered Navratan Korma and requested it be mild. It turned out to be even spicier than Emmett's Vegetable Jalfrezi, which he'd ordered to be "extra hot." We sent it back, and told them that I am unable to eat hot spices. The remade entree was still way higher in tongue-burn than I can tolerate. Navratan Korma is usually a creamy dish with no heat at all, so I don't know what's up with this, but I don't think I'll be able to eat at this place again.
West coast Indian food is spicier by far than East Coast Indian food is, on the whole; it's been hard to eat Indian food on this coast. Recommendations of Bay Area Indian restaurants that understand what "mild" is would be gratefully welcomed.
