Father Mitten - The Curry Virgin

I feel the relationship between me and my parents is getting marginally better. I am talking to them more about things. Anything from work to the old university application to their work and not their university application, but other things also! You see, it is all part of my brand new master plan to talk to them more and work slowly towards being confident enough to tell them the big news. Who knows, it might work.

To continue this plan, I offered to take Father Mitten out to Chaudhury's, (the spelling of which is not known by anyone), seeing as Mother Mitten was at her work Crimbo Do, the opportunity was there. Father Mitten calls a curry, "a ruby", which proves that he is a complete curry virgin. He's only ever had 1, where he said he had "some chicken with a strange lemon texture". I might just have to guide him through this one!

His taste in Indian food is very similar to mine. He doesn't like it very spicy at all, just like me, who thinks a Massala is "quite hot indeed", but instead of going for something mild, he went for a Lamb Dhansak, which is described as "fairly hot" on the menu.

"It says that, but I bet it isn't that hot really."

Well summarised Father Mitten and I'm glad to say he got it wrong! Being a classic man, he acted as if he was enjoying it, while I sat there with my mildly spicy Lamb Tikka Masalla and watched his face turn steadily purple. We had a good chat though, about his work and my university application and about what I wanted to do with the degree once I have got it, and all sorts. About a year ago, these questions wouldn't get answered, as I didn't really want to confide in my parents about these sorts of things. Tonight, and recently, though, have been different. I'm certainly getting there and it's all positive. Which is good.

I'm feeling a bit rough today aswell, after yesterdays strange pattern of sleeping, I am back to the level, "All Over The Shop", although it's now 9:55pm and I'm very tired. My 2nd nights voyage to Luton to watch the cricket has been called off because of it, and despite waking up at 2pm, I cannot wait to get back to sleep!

Now though, I'm gonna go spend more time with The Curry Virgin and watch the cricket highlights with him.

Can someone answer me this aswell. Is Sikhism the same as Christianity? Apparently, it is. I'm not so sure... I'll explain in the next post, if I remember!
