Free stuff!!!
I am such a sucker for free stuff - watch me as I get all giddy with a 250rs off on a single item at the Mango store - got my eye on this sexy jingly belt which is probably like many-000buckeroos but no, i shall buy becos i get 250rs off. I am also btw a total sucker for all the marketing where they say I am a dear favoured customer.... I mean really you have me at 20%discount!!!So, it did not take much to excite me when I was making a resrevation at the fancy-schancy Middle-eastern restuarant at the Taj for dinner with husband and Lulu .
The reservation conversation went like this:
Posh voice at other end: was all like oh, is there any special occassion??
Me (in oretend-posh voice, still not having gotten around to having nice manicure and ergo not feeling very BBCish) yes, it's my husband's birthday
Ha, now I know that you get free stuff on birthdays and anniversaries. I got free dessert last year at wasabi because it was our happy wedding anniversary.
So, we went to Souk and ordered some mezze - which is really exotic baby-food. everything is pureed to a nice pulpy garlicky paste. Then on advise of the Os, I recommended lamb chops to Husband and Lulu and I decided to have a vegeterian tagine... which was stupid because the middle-east is not known for veggies except for bloody chick-peas (which is really chole in english) so i lusted after the husband's lamb-chops and sneaked in two bites while he was distracted by the pretty birdy in fake-chanel. To help move this veggy stuff along, Lulu ordered a wonderful apple flavoured hookah - and then we had some nice moroccan tea. Luckily there were no aggressive belly-dancers like at Maroush, the other mid-east specialty retaurant at the far-suburbs in the Sheraton. And then and then TADAHHHH!!!! arrive' the cake at the stroke of mid-night. So we sang happy birday to husband with much flamboyance and fan-fare (to make it belivable) - yummy honey-nut nougat.
heheheh, and it is really being his birday this sunday heheheh - I beat the system. So, we are going to wasabi and gorging on sushi and more free bday cake and hope teh kitchens dont talk.
