Indian Reservation/I've Paid My Dues - Don Fardon

An INDIAN in my kitchen!

Advantages: Easy to prepare at home; good value on Special Offer.
Disadvantages: Not quite like the real thing, dry aftertaste.

I love Indian food! It is so very colourful and uses lots of different ingredients; I have possibly tried, or heard of over 200 different dishes; even for the vegetarian there are a lot of dishes from which to choose. Sometimes the dish I have chosen is too spicy for me, so learn this from my experience: stay clear from balti, which is the hottest food, especially, if you suffer from heart burn or stomach ulcer as they may make your symptoms worse. If, like me, you fancy an Indian, it might be best to try a medium heat or mild first and you can taste the Indian food with less heat. I prefer these to the extra hot flavours as the spices enclosed in the extra hot dominate the whole dish (so you spend the whole night afterwards drinking water). Most Indian food is a very important part of Indian tradition and culture; to welcome ...

Review of Sharwoods Indian Cooking Sauce

Indian visas - Don't Panic!

Advantages: Fast, effective, not bad value
Disadvantages: must be done online, more expensive than before, no same day service

NOTE - this advice applies only for UK nationals applying for tourist visas. For non-nationals or other types of visas (business, student etc) there may be some differences. However, I hope that most people will find this of some use. --------------------------------------------- --------------------------------- My husband is a very calm man. With the exception of IKEA flat pack furniture and the annihilation of 'old labour', there's not a lot that makes him lose his cool, so I was taken aback when I raised the topic of getting visas for our forthcoming holiday to India and he practically exploded. Don't mention the words 'Indian' and 'Visa' around him or you'd better make sure you have a comfy seat and a cup of tea because the tirade that follows may take some time. So why's he so worked up about the topic? Approximately 2 ...

Review of VFS Online Indian Visa Service

The Devil's Due

Advantages: The whole book is really good
Disadvantages: It's taking so long for me to get hold of the next book!

struck a good balance with her personality traits. I also like all of the other characters in the book, with the possible exception of Brian who I just find a little bit annoying. It's not that he's a bad character or that he's poorly written but that I don't think he's strong enough to be Morgan's boyfriend. Perhaps if he had a different role I would like him more but throughout this book and the previous books I just keep thinking that Morgan should be rid of him. You can clearly see in the books how much she loves and cares for him and that he in turn loves and cares for her but there seems to be too much of a power difference between them. I have to say though that it did get better in this book. Brian seems to be toughening up a bit and giving Morgan as good as she gets and if he continues to go in the way that he's going then I ...
