Friday Night Dinner: Et House
A couple of months ago, I asked my wife to see if she could book some different cuisines for our Friday nights out. This request resulted in the visit to Mriya Neo Bistro, and a reservation at Et House, a Turkish restaurant close to Swiss Cottage. When we arrived at the restaurant it was pretty quiet, but we were welcomed in, picking a table up towards the back of the restaurant.
For our starters, we shared some Babaganush, which was served with a flat bread, and Mantar, sautéed mushrooms with butter and garlic, covered in melted cheese.
For her main, my wife chose the Sarma Lamb Beyti — minced with spices and garlic, and served in a lava bread with some yoghurt on the side. A spicy tomato-y sauce completed the dish. I had the Mixed Shish — marinated chicken and lamb cubes, served with a salad, rice, and bulgur wheat.
With our meal I enjoyed a bottle of Efes Draft, and my wife a Turkish red wine.
The dishes were all nicely spiced, not too strong, but with a good flavour. The meal was nothing very special, but enjoyable and decently priced. We did order too much though, as the portions were generous.
If you're near Swiss Cottage and fancy a low-key meal, Et House will do just fine.

@fridaynightdinners I can't get used to these "post-covid" prices. OK, so I *had* got used to the idea that a burger in a pub was no longer a fiver, but I'm afraid I find modern prices for eating out to be mind-boggling.

TIL that Kingfishers can hover just like hummingbird. I'll hopefully have some reasonable shots after I've gone through my nearly thousand shots today...

I think this was my favourite photo of the set that I took. It's not at maximum coverage, but it does have a sun spot group (4508) just on the cusp of the terminator.

No totality here in London, but still had a great evening out in the local park and taking some snaps.
I did have a nice Solar Filter that I made for my lens, and had many conversations with people from different backgrounds. Kids loves to look through my filter after I was done (ran out of battery power).
More photos later...

Is there somebody who runs PHP on native windows (with Xdebug) and can run a simple script for me?
It must be in a file (`test.php`):
```
<?php
echo microtime(true), "\n";
xdebug_connect_to_client();
echo microtime(true), "\n";
```And run like:
php -dxdebug.log_level=11 -dxdebug.log=c:\temp\xdebug-i.log -dxdebug.client_host=localhost -dxdebug.client_port=9111 -dxdebug.mode=debug c:\temp\test.php
With the port 9111 not open.
Would love to see the output and log file (in a DM).
