Tony's lunch

Of course, Walter has to have dessert

I was looking at some photos on the ipad, and one the stewardesses recognised my wife and daughter, as she had flown with them a few weeks earlier! Small world ha?

One of my favorite meals. Chicken biryani

Of course, one cannot have a meal without Tabasco!
