I had a couple of real treats last week. On Monday night I went to Indian Restaurant De Saffraan. I developed a real liking for indian food when we were living in London. Unfortunately there aren't that many indian restaurants in Antwerp. De Saffraan is one of the better ones. They serve Thali on Monday night which is a selection of lots of small tasty dishes to share such as korma, tandoori, dahl, prawns... accompanied by chutneys and naan bread. I went with two friends from high school that I've stayed in touch with. We usually get together to "do something creative" - which has ranged in the past from felting to drawing to making cards, gift wrap. But Monday we just enjoyed the food as well as their fresh mango cocktail which is delicious. The weather was good so we sat outside in the garden talking, catching up on each other's life, laughing...
On Wednesday P and I went to see Johann Johannson. I've been a very big fan of his music ever since a colleague started playing it in the office. It's sort of contemporary classical if that makes sense. The orchestra was quite small - only four musicians but the violins were amazing. Johann himself also plays the piano with such concentration it is a joy to watch. You can listen to his music here, odi et amo is one of my favourite tracks.
I've also been to the yearly bookfair in antwerp. Books! for! 2.50! euro! A quick phone call to my dad on thursday morning: yes of course he wanted to come..., and off we went! I came home with a couple of cooking books and novels I've been enjoying over the weekend.
