Curry to Clear Your Head

Let's not beat around the bush. I'm just going to come right out and say it, OCCASIONALLY I WAKE UP IN THE MORNING WITH A POUNDING HEADACHE AND IT IS SOMETIMES RELATED TO ALCOHOL CONSUMED THE NIGHT BEFORE. No matter if it is two beers, or two glasses of wine, two seems to be the maximum I can drink. I may feel like poop the next day, or I may not. It's a big crap shoot. But I must continue to test the fermented waters, so to speak. I have few vices left as a semi-responsible, parent-type person, and if I can't have the occasional two beers without a disaster happening, I'm in big trouble. So I endure.For instance, I had two, maybe three glasses (I wasn’t counting, which may have been the problem) of white wine at a wedding I attended with my husband this past Saturday night. It was a steamy evening to say the least, and I drank plenty of water alongside my wine, and ate dinner and had wedding cake. The next morning my head was awash in sinus and brain pain. Popped a decongestant and some acetaminophen right away, then waited for my brother and his lady-friend to show up to take me out for a little Sunday brunch at the Ambassador Dining Room.
Have you been there? Have I already written about this place? It is worth writing about twice, then, if I have. It is a strange and wonderful setting, nestled deep in the Ambassador Apartment/Condo building in Charles Village. Enter through the gothic lobby of the apartment building, follow the delicious smells of curry and end up in a dark, cool restaurant that opens up into a porchy outdoorsy area that opens onto a garden of sorts. Weekends and lunchtime on weekdays there is a delicious Indian food buffet, and they have a proper, seated dinner, no sharing, in the evenings.
After some fish, spinach, lamb, chicken and lentils, all in their own creamy or curried or tamarindy sauces, my sinuses cleared up and so did my fuzzy head. This food is not greasy. The selection of vegetables, lentils, fish and meats is fresh and clean tasting, and like any good Indian buffet, there is a bit of a palate cleansing rice pudding or plain cookie to finish your meal. The weekend buffets also include Mimosa and Screwdriver fixin’s, though I’m not big on booze early in the day. I recommend The Ambassador Dining Room if you have relatives or friends you want to impress, or just to get your Indian food fix. Apparently it is also good hangover food.
