I’ve never had a bad meal at any of the Dishoom locations in London, they are consistently great and yes, fun bar menu. Glad to know there is now one in Edinburgh l
A grand congratulations to you and your wife on accomplishing the goals, both at Wilhelmi and on the Vitality retreat. The hikes described sound delightful and maybe someday, I will visit these beautiful areas; but for now will venture through the writings and photographs of my chosen travel and lifestyle Substack authors. The gimlet looks very inviting and refreshing. Its about this time of year in the newly warm Carolina’s, that I make a tall feisty bottle of jalapeño simple sugar, for my gimlet, sidecar or gin rickey special occasions. I frame my alcoholic beverages as a specialty craft; as each (beer, wine or spirit) is truly an art-form to make well and I respect the artisan makers. I don’t visit their art-on-display in my refrigerator or bar on a daily basis, but rather drop by once or twice a week to be a proactive and purposeful consumer of excellence. I consider my well-smoking tobacco pipes, occasional artfully blended pipe tobacco and cigars the exact same way. None a daily engagement that dulls the finish of these crafts, but rather an appreciation of their art form through enjoyment and recognition. My good wishes for you in continuing to reach your goals. ~Scott Cissel
Thanks for sharing, Matt. Great write up on your wellness path. The key to wellness success seems to be making it fun and enjoyable tailored to you, and it looks like you’ve found that right dynamic. Well done, my friend.

That Dishoom gimlet is indeed tasty. Can confirm.
I definitely have to try that India Gimlet!
Love that first pattern jungle jacket. One of my favorites.
Enjoyable to come along with you and I appreciate your sharing the duds that performed well.
You gave in to the lure of denial? Bah! Get back on the horse!
Dishoom do a great negroni too. The addition of a small piece of dark chocolate is superb. See here - https://www.instagram.com/p/Cqq2bYmsa1U/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=
