I am disappoint, p.

I had essentially always thought of you as having a bottom of good sense. I must now reassess this appraisal.

Is it a woman who's done this to you? In my experience, most mad things men of our age do are at the behest of a woman.
It is a woman's fault (as are all things) but I thought I would indulge it for a brief period. It has turned out to be a lot longer than that but it has significant benefits. I have stopped eating some of the bad stuff, lost a bit of weight and discovered a whole new approach to Indian food. Its been worthwhile.

Obviously, when I am not at home I eat what I like but 80-90% of the time I stick with it. Honestly, the food is fine, even the milk is ok. The only bit that really makesyouwanttostab yourself in both eyes is the endless conversations and the visits to vegan cafes where you are forced to talk about veganism and adopt an air of 'holier than thou' smugness.

She made an aloo gobi and a vegetable madras last night that was as good as anything I have ever tasted. Swings and roundabouts.....
