Is it February already? We’ve been in Bombay for almost exactly a month and it’s flown by in a flurry of activities and outings. We’ve been eating well, both at home and out. I’ve been walking down to the fish market at Sassoon Dock every couple of days and we’ve been cooking various fish and seafood at home. We’ve also been eating out 2-4 times a week, either at program meals or by ourselves. The meal reports began to show up on the blog in January but I quickly fell behind. I’ve posted five so far: Soam, Shri Datta Boarding, Delux Kerala, Lagan Nu Bhonu at RTI, Highway Gomantak. But I have another seven or eight reports waiting in the wings. What I’ve not had is much time to write anything up. Hell, I haven’t even had time in the last three days to post anything to my Instagram! With one more week in Bombay and some more eating out to go, I’ll be well behind by the time we leave for Seoul in a week. But I do hope to get caught up over the next few weeks so that I don’t then fall too far behind with the inevitable Seoul food reports.

And, yes, the booze reviews will continue at their more predictable pace: three a week. What can you expect this month on that front? Well, this is what remains from the reviews I’d banked before departure:

• A week of Ben Nevis.
• Two more weeks of mezcal reviews.
• A week of rums from Foursquare.
• A week of whiskies from highlands distilleries.
• A week of Speyside whiskies.
• Two weeks of peated Islay whiskies.

If any of these interest you more than others, please write in below. Or otherwise you can take potluck. (The first review of the month will be another Highland Park to close out the week of reviews of whiskies from the Orkney distillery.)
