You've heard some of The Rules associated with wine drinking, such as
no red wine with fish, wine tastes better aged and French wine is the
best of all.
If it's one thing I enjoy it's a bit of mischievous rule-breaking,
or, in this case, myth-busting, so let's tackle the Rule which holds
that spicy Indian curries are impossible to match with wine. Stick to
beer, the experts declare. No thanks.
Curry is one of my favourite foods and there's no
way I'd miss the chance to enjoy a bottle of wine alongside the meal.
Furthermore, why should we be dictated to by tyrannical
food-and-wine-combination police? I'm here to reassure curry-lovers
that you can indeed drink wine the next time you tuck into a korma or a
rogan josh with garlic naan, and that it can be an exquisite experience.

- These vanilla macaroons by Hail Merry. Yummy straight out of the fridge.

It has a minty fresh smell to savour during poses which bring my face to the mat, although I suspect the alcohol may be breaking down my yoga mat. I frequently find specks of teal blue rubber on my yoga tights post-class now
