Foodies in matrimony

My husband is a great cook. And like all the best people (courtesy of julia child) he loves to eat almost as much as i do. Infact, food is one of the very few things we have in common. Yes, you read that right, very few! we are two people who couldnt be any different. Kind of proves you don't need to have alot in common to be in love. Anyway, ever since we got married we have been eating out atleast a couple times a month (hence the unexplained weight gain) and every time we do, we make it a point to try out a new restaurant. We have tried alot of restaurants in Lahore and a few in Islamabad and beleiveit or not, every time we used to visit a place, we used to rate the food we ordered on a scale of 1 to 10. His idea of romance would be to ask me how i rate my meal? Yes. And for some reason i would totally love it. Before we had kids this was quite a common practice. We even marked a few places as a "no - go" in our list because they were so terrible. So this other day we are driving back from monal, discussing the details of the overpriced and over rated meal we had at the Monal Tree House, we stumbled upon this idea of writing these reviews about all the places we visit in a blog. While i generously offered to incorporate it in this blog, we sort of never got around to doing it. What can we say, life is busy with two kids.

But then soon after we went to this new place in Islamabad which was the talk of the town and the experience we had there made us feel like we owe it to the Pakistani world of foodies out there to put these thoughts in words and hence today i launch this new page in my blog by the name of Foodie Reviews. Both me and my husband will be updating this depending upon the frequency of our visits. Looking forward to this joint venture and some comments from our readers sharing their experinces.
