Another nice place to eat.
Oct. 21st, 2007 02:01 pmWe're in Cambridge, buying speakers. Lunch is at the Vine, just outside the Grafton centre. Interesting menu, shame the rabbit pie is all gone. Draft Leffe and Addlestones. Tapas starters, then we're on their autumn warmers - Dave's having "hash" (involves spuds, chorizo, and a poached egg), I'm on cottage pie (oxtail, parsnip mash, and they've just brought a spoon). Looks promising.
Later edit: t'were good. Both things came in little individual casseroles: more like a deep bowl of stew with a dollop of mash on top than a "pie", and Dave's "hash" was also more liquid than he was expecting. Nice.
It seems that my capacity for alcohol has dropped to a somewhat startling degree. Two halves of Leffe, with a meal, turned out to be far too much and made me feel quite ill for the rest of the afternoon. I do drink a bit in the evenings, though usually only one half or small bottle, so I'm a bit surprised that going up by this small extent should have such an effect.
Oh, and the new speakers are good. Dave's been testing them: we took our usual test CD along, having run it on the old speakers and then my car stereo (the Bose one: I drive an Audi!) on the way up. It sounded good in the shop, the second-best speakers we'd been considering were no comparison. And the ones we've bought sound good now they're home, too.
