GLENYC: Dinner In Pinner

As I sit here, looking out the window at probably more snow than I've ever seen in a city not known for skiing, it all seems a far cry from my recent trip to London. Before I move on to the main course - clever, huh? - of this posting, a quick observation from JFK airport. Perusing the DVD's in the terminal, I couldn't help but notice that the number 1 and 2 best sellers right now are Red Eye and Flight Plan. Does this mean that a high proportion of people who might be persuaded to abduct children or threaten passengers are currently in our skies or that the sheer thrill of flying has been superseded by a need to terrify oneself even more in the air? Either way, I'll take my chances with the in-flight entertainment and meal options...surely not getting sick after choosing the chicken or pasta is more satisfying than watching Jodie Foster looking for her child or debating whether Cillian is even a real name?

The highlight of the brief trip - a dry run, if you will - was a trip to the pub and a meal at the local curry house, Pinner Tandoori. This fine establishment has been a constant of my curry eating experiences. A few years back, some of us even got invited to inspect the kitchens at PT. To this day, I'm still unsure why but if you haven't seen naan bread prepared in front of you, well, you just haven't lived. No kitchen tour this time around but we did get a 10% discount for no real reason: maybe these photos will offer some clues...
