This was our case:
SomeVORowImpl someRow= (SomeVORowImpl)baseRow.getSomeVO().createRow();It would execute correctly (without errors), but the application would then hang. We've replaced the duplicate call to baseRow.getSomeVO() and stored it into a RowIterator object:
//Do something with row
RowIterator someVO = baseRow.getSomeVO();
SomeVORowImpl someRow = (SomeVORowImpl)someVO.createRow();
//Do something with row
This did the trick. We haven't dug to the bottom of why this happened, but if we can reproduce this in a small test application, we might file a bug.

A New York firefighter has apparently had a successful career performing as a rap artist on his downtime, the New York Post reported.
While that wouldn't normally be particularly newsworthy in and of itself, the content of some of his music has caused some to raise their eyebrows.
FDNY fire captain Kaseem Ryan, 44, has released numerous songs under the stage-name Ka, and some of those songs include derogatory references to police officers.
The lyrics in one of the songs include the lines, "F- -k them cops and swats with night vision. I see your traps and your plots to dead us, y'all rolling with Kojaks, n- - -a, I got Berettas."
Some within the NYPD, understandably, aren't amused.
Ed Mullins, president of the Sergeants Benevolent Foundation, said of Ryan's music, "The biases he portrays through his music are indicative of what he believes or feels." Mullins added that Ryan should be trying to bring people together instead of drawing divisions.

Hannay Fights Against Conviction Wins Appeal and Will Have New Hearing—Asks For Renewal of Hunting; License A case of unusual interest in local circles, in connection with the enforcement of the Game Act, is that of George Hannay, who is at present out on bail in the sum of $500, having been charged with pit lamping, in the vicinity of Alberni Mountain, on October 18th . Hannay was convicted, and sentenced to 4f> days in jail by Magistrate A. G. Freeze, of Alberni.

In the meantime, however, ho had made a second appeal, to the Court of Appeal of British Columbia, and Chief Justice Macdonald on Monday last, allowed the appeal on representations made, and granted bail in the sum above mentioned. Mr. Hannay is now at liberty, and the case will come up for further hearing on January 7th.

Human beings like lo procrastinate, With most id' us there is a prevailing tendency lo lei matters wait until the last moment and then go after them as if it was a question of life or death. And the mailing of Christmas presents is no exception. There is no sound reason why Christmas presents cannot be posted well in advance to avoid Hooding the mails at the last moment. At best, the postal system has to handle a tremendously increased volume of mail during the holiday season, and this is all the more reason why it should not be Hooded with the bulk of it at the last moment.

TUBERCULOSIS DIAGNOSTIC! CLINICS A consideration of the problems growing out of tuberculosis is definitely encouragin:: und should be sufficient stimulus for greater effort. Encouragement comes from the fact that while this disease continues to take a heavy toll of human lives—over 7,800 in Canada during 1928—it has been conquered to a considerable extent, and year by year its ravages are being lessened. A resolve to persevere, and de- termlnation to make a greater effort have come as the result of selng that past and present elforls have been and are effective, and that the only limit to their effectiveness has been the extent to which the work done has been limited. While it is true that many factors have indirectly contributed to the reduction which has occurred in tuberculosis .it is equally true that the greatest reductions have taken place, (.nil might almost say, in direct proportion to the extent of the antituberculosis campaign. Afore and more attention is being focussed on the need tor early diagnosis, fn order to ensure a fair chance for recovery, treatment must be started in the early stages of the disease. f In order to control and prevent the spread of tuberculosis, it is necessary that cases be recognized early and that patients be educated and trained so tiiat they will not pass on the infection to others. To attain these two desirable aims, it is necessary that early diagnosis be made. This fact has been recognized, and scattered across Canada, are centres where examinations are made and the disease detected in its early stages. This is desirable not only for the case, but for the public; because it means control of the spread of the disease and public protection. These diagnostic clinics are maintained by seme Provincial Governments and by the tuberculosis sanatoria. Like everything else of that type, the clinic1- cost money to equip and maintain, A reasonable opportunity to assist the sanatoria in this work is provided through the Christmas Seallsale, which is commended to our readers.

To the west and northwest lie the Beaufort range of mountains and the Dome Glacier. Be Itwecn the town and the mountains is I Lake Cumberland, once known as the Puntledge, later the Comox. The people of Cumberland feel that the name Lake Cumberland Is a better nnme be cause they claim being only three miles from their town warrants the lake having their town name. What is more, I all advertisements and all writings j about the lake, whether by the Boaid !of Trade or any other authoritative body in Cumberland use Lake Cumberland as the official name. The Board of Trade and other leading bodies feel the time has come for a more vigorous policy along many lines of development. One of the most urgent tn the minds of these official bodies Is the building of a road from Lake Cumberland to Alberni. Thc distances is about twenty-two miles. This road would bring Cumberland on to the Island Highway belt, continue on to Cameron Lake, through Parksville or Qualicum Beach, north to Union Bay, Royston and Courtenay and back to Cumberland. This Is not the only objective of the Cumberland people. They want also when the Albernl- Cumberland road extension is built, to be ready to go farther west along the Alberni Canal to connect up to the West Coast Road and on to Victoria. They, too, have an eye on the roadway that will some day be built from Sproat are very anxious about this, because some fear that with the provincial authorities looking northward at the present time, any road work or building on Vancouver Island might get sidetracked. Must Not Be Delayed One cannot help mentioning that there is grave fear among many people on Vancouver Island that lhe Government's proposed Alaska road-building programme is likely to delay progress on the Island, and stress the point that the requirements of thc districts mentioned must not be lost sight of in any road-building programme (luring the coming years. When one reads of the many "far- off" proposals, the people in the northern towns on Vancouver Island wonder whether the rcsopnsible authorities have all made themselves acquainted with all the very beautiful areas worthy of linking up by roads in these northern and western territories, some suggest it would be better to have these picturesque areas completed flrst, that immediate use can be made by the many tourists who read always of Vancouver Island being "a paradise" There is no mistake about the latter phrasing. Could our leading authorities but spend a few days on the mountain tops, on Ihe many beautiful lakes and streams, rivers and valleys, it is believed they would say, "Let us get busy right here and go north later on."

Thc Federal Government has built tho first section of n wliarf on Lake Cumberland af a cost of about $3,000. Tlie total cost, when completed, will be about $7,000. The wharf is only three miles from the town of Cumberland, and runs through a very fine park recently donated by the Comox Logging Company. The size of thc park, together with that of the Provincial Government's i also donated by the Comox Logging Company), will be about eighty acres all told. The timber is very fine and straight, and due to the fact that on one side of thc lake is a very high ridge and no wind can penetrate, there are no limber windfalls. It is intended to make a first-class auto park right away and be In line for much of the tourist trade that must come to Lake Cumberland when in proper shape. It is believed the Provincial Government will preserve this fine stand of timber in the park for all time. The lake has many trout of the fighting kind that anglers love. The Cumberland area is a hunter's paradise. Game abounds, there being plenty of deer, geese, ducks, pheasants and grouse while trapping is carried on during the winter months. Cumberland has a very active Hoard of Trade and a Canadian Club. The latter co-operates with the clubs of Courtenay and Union Bay. the membership being about 100. No Tax Sales The town was incorporated in January of 1898. The flrst Mayor was Lewis Mounce. The present Mayor is Alexander Maxwell and there are six councillors. The city clerk is W. H. Cope and this amiable official spoke with great pride of the fact that Cumberland had had no tax sales for three years and that ninety per cent of the taxes had been paid for 1929. The townsite is not large and stands on about forty acres. One of the earliest settlers was the late George Clinton who built the ten miles of railway from Cumberland to Union Bay. The late Mr. Clinton also built the first electric lighting plant at Cumberland and owned and operated the same until early this year. The town of Cumberland was first started on what is known as Chinatown, west of the present site, and was first called Union. Later a change was made and the town of Cumberland came into being. In the early days people had to walk ten miles to Comox to get their mail, which arrived about once a fortnight. Variable Population The population varies from 2,000 to 2,h()Q according to the demand for coal. At one time there were many more people when all the mines were working. The Cumberland miners seem to be working more regularly than those in the central British Columbia mining towns. Cumberland seems busier than a year ago. but like other towns would like just a little more activity. It is very noticeable that a much larger number of Orientals arc employed around Cumberland than in other mining towns on Vancouver Island. There are Chinese and Japanese settlements just outside the city limits. The Oriental situation is very interesting on acocunt of the very large number of children attending the Cumberland schools. The total number attending school including whites and Orientals is about 500 and there are eighteen teachers in the two schools. One-third of the children attending the Cumberland schools are Orientals. The Japanese employ a teacher in the Japanese settlement to teach their youngest members or new arrivals the English language before commencing in the city schools. After they are received in the Cumberland schools a Canadian teacher is employed to U'ach all new arrivals. Orientals in a separate class room gain further lessons in English and they are afterwards admitted to the classes with the white children. At one time it was found that far too much time was occupied in teaching the Orientals to read and speak English, so this novel measure was absolutely necessary. Owned by Women It is possible to find something most unusual in any mid every town when bent on acquiring information. Cumberland is no exception to this rule. Here one finds that the electric lighting system Is owned and operated solely by women. It is believed to be the only one on the North American continent and possibly in tlie world where this condition exists. When you go to the Cumberland electric light office you meet at one wicket the part owner of • the system. Miss Mary Picketu li you wish lo see the managing director you go to the very fine office and meet Mrs. Amy B. Clinton, the managing director and secretary treasurer Then there is Mrs. Anna Harrison, who is president of the company. Mrs. Clinton has the system down lo a very fine point and has at her finger ends all that there is to know about their electric light system ,and she will explain the early history of thc lighting system of Cumberland built by her husband, Mr. Clinton. The ladies' electric light company buy their power and light in bulk from the Canadian Collieries Co. power plant and retail to the consumers in Cumberland and to the Royston Lumber Company. The rates are 13 cents Ior the first thirty kilowatt hours, 12 cents for the next thirty, and 11 cents for the next forty.

This northern section, like Ladysmith, would like smne definite announcement on the smelter question. They arc tired of the many rumors that appear from time to time. Cumberland people say if a smelter comes to the north end of Vancouver Island they have the coal, coke and electrical power to supply it. If the smelter falls through Cumberland's next hope is that pulverized coal will be developed. Name of Coal One matter that has always interested the people of this mining town. Is the naming of their coal as Comox coal, they think it should be called Cumberland coal. The leading officials point out that Comox coal is known the world over, and state that to change the name now would not be in the best interests of the coal company. In view of the strong opposition with oil, it would probably mean a loss in orders until the various shipping lines got to know what Cumberland coal is. it is pointed out. This mining town has many organizations, including the Canadian Legion, whose memorial is in the form of an arch outside their memorial hall. The names of those who gave their lives are Inscribed on tablets placed on the pillars of thc memorial arch The ladies' societies are very active and the Girl Guides and Boy Scouts and many lodges have large memberships. There are Anglican, United and Catholic churches, and Cumberland has a very fine hospital with about fifty beds. The hospital stands on the highest point of the town In a very fine location.

Movie Review
Jackal is Coming is a very mixed movie of positives and negatives - a few good points, funny moments and quirks but, on the whole, spoiled a little too much by the flaws in the writing.
(Note: The subman English softsubs are very inaccurate. Do not recommend using them. People wishing to find a decently English-subbed streaming version can message me on Tumblr as non-Anon or DM me on Twitter)
Warning: Major spoilers (image heavy & long)
I am growing increasingly annoyed that Song Jihyo is constantly being shafted into the 'unattractive lady' role, the same way she is on Running Man.
Would it kill the show to make her a bit more attractive, especially since her being unattractive doesn't really accomplish anything plot-wise? I know she's supposed to be 'clumsy' and 'incompetent', but wouldn't it be funnier to have a sleek, awesome-looking assassin who ends up being an utter fail?
See?? SHE CAN BE GORGEOUS. what was the point of the wig ._.
Jihyo's portrayal of the assassin Minjung (I don't think her name was ever said during the movie tbh) was fairly natural and not annoyingly over-the-top, though some moments of 'incompetence' looked ridiculously contrived like her lunging for the sasaeng and falling on her face.
It was really hard to get a read on her character's motivations.
Was her story about Choi Hyun's song being a 'special' song to her true? Did that have any effect on her carrying out the mission? Was she genuinely a fan? Was she working for Sunying or for the rich director guy (I think it was the latter, judging by the ending but it looked like she and Sunying were friends or that she at least cared about Sunying's opinions? or something?)
What made her go from poor girl to serial killer??? How did she get trained?
Why did she have to act incompetent at all times, especially when Choi Hyun's manager realised what was happening and threatened to derail her mission? If it was to protect her identity, why did Choi Hyun seem to know in the end anyway?
Literally the only few somewhat flattering screenshots I could find of her.
Jaejoong: in there for 1 part plot and 5 parts fanservice.
To be fair, he definitely went all out in the stunt and comedic acting, though he was sort of restricted in his capacity by the gag and restraints, so his facial expressions largely ranged from 'gross sobbing' to 'expression of shock'.
The phone unlocking part was an inspired moment of the movie
A lot of the movie depended on the Jihyo/Jaejoong dynamic. The relationship was slow to start off with and the chemistry between them was a little bit too casual/comfortable for an ASSASSIN AND HER TARGET, but the hesitant camaraderie that developed between them was fairly believable.
Then the 'I WILL PROTECT YOU' process, the kiss and stuff about hiring Jihyo at the end suddenly came barreling from the left field and left me going WTF.
Many of the emotional arcs felt very unresolved or simply incomplete.
Minjung's I've already talked about above.
Choi Hyun's emotional arc should have been a straightforward, if cliche one - famous jerk star transformed by the kidnapping experience, but the movie faltered there too.
He'd been 'saved' from a life of karaoke lounge singing by Sunying, wrote his first awesome song 'Healing for Myself' for her and then changed as he became famous (was what Jihyo's character believed).
Then Choi Hyun revealed it was Sunying who had changed, not him, and he left because she was 'becoming more distant with him'.
So...why was he a jerk to his managers and staff? Why was he having an affair with Angela? Why didn't he just tell her 'hey, I was kidnapped and threatened with murder before you came in' and explain the situation instead of letting her get killed?
What made him decide to hire Minjung at the end??? How did he find out she was the Jackal? (or did he?) Did he change at all? SO MANY QUESTIONS.
The parallel detective storyline barely interacted with the two leads, and really didn't hold my interest as much as it should have.
It moved at an excessively leisurely pace and it seemed ridiculous that an operation to catch a serial killer like Jackal would rely on only 3 people to monitor and search a hotel.
The main leader of the detectives was unbelievably non-assertive and the flowery local police guy wasn't really...that interesting. Again, they were fairly incompetent and there were a lot of 'funny' moments that came across as stupidity.
I did love the hilarity of Choi Hyun's restraints being interpreted as some sort of BDSM fetish (but he should have kicked or flailed or anything other than stared at them and made weird sounds...again, common sense sacrificed for the sake of dragging out the plotline).
The female police officer was really grating in her deadpan apathy - I thought she would turn out to be super competent and badass but she ended up just being a sidekick who conveniently spotted things and defended her chief...
The hotel guy was hilariously obnoxious and insufferable. He at least injected some sleazy humour into the proceedings, but yeah...slimy...not very pleasant to watch.
The hotel ajumma was pretty awesome, bossing around the other two straight-faced detectives. I wish there had been more of her.
This was a genuinely disturbing part of the movie (THAT PIG MASK ARGGHHHHH)
As much as the sasaeng plotline was played for laughs, you can't help but remember sasaengs are real and that idol stars (Jaejoong especially) really do get into disturbing situations with stalkers.
The movie passed it off as an almost regular occurrence, but it really is a serious issue in real life, where both sides are victims and in need of help. To her credit, the sasaeng actress acted superbly.
Also, there are a lot of people who just want to murder Choi Hyun? There was a lot of killing in this movie - I'm not sure if comedy was the best genre, to be honest.
The ending was confusing. Was Jackal working for the rich director after all? Why did fake!Jackal want to kill her? You do not want to leave your audience with all these questions.
There were some nice moments of cinematography though.
Overall, Jackal is Coming is an average movie at best. Some good moments hidden among the average-ness...it'll depend on how willing you are to sit through the more frustrating bits for them.
I'm sure that won't deter Jaejoong fangirls from flocking to it for the eye candy, but people hoping to see a gorgeous Song Jihyo like she was in the movie poster might be more than a little disappointed.

Hey there! so, i hope you all had a brilliant Christmas, so i really enjoy what i got for Christmas/birthday videos and blog posts so i thought i would show you what i got this year! Of course, please remember that i am not in any way bragging, im just simply showing you what i got, which i am of course very grateful for.
In my stocking –
Its a tradition that myself and my mum buy the gifts for eachothers stockings and then open them up together in the morning.
So, inside this years stocking i got –
various shower gels.
sweet clementine candle.
blackberry soap.
santas belly shower jelly from lush.
cat face makeup bag.
nail oil.
pore strips.
false eyelashes.
snowman shaped blending sponge.
This is me, the greatest showman quote plaque.
sugar skull shopping bag.
harry potter colour changing lipsticks.
black tourmaline bracelet.
black cat and moon earrings.
feather earrings.
black cat earrings.
sticky notes.
Mum went a bit over board! though to be honest, so did i. we have gotten to the point in our household that things never fit in the stockings!
Next up, is what my brother got me, he really surprised me and i was in shock! with the help of my mum, he got me a hamper of various beauty gifts.
So in the hamper was the soap & glory the pink-credibles gift set, the baylis & harding christmas set, a christmas candle in a giant bauble and wrapped to the side was a giant golden snitch bath bomb & a crookshanks lip balm!
Bless him,he really wanted to do something special and he very much did.
Last, but by no means least is what my parents got me.
So my mum asked me for a list this year, normally she never does but she finds it difficult to not buy from brands i may already buy a lot from myself! so i wrote a list this time, on the list i had "lush & the body shop". and as you can see, she did so! she got me the lush snow fairy gift set, the body shop facial mask duo himalayan charcoal & british rose and the body shop hoilday hand cream set. we then have a baylis & harding sweet mandarin & grapefruit gift set.
Finally, the urban decay elements eyeshadow palette, oh i almost cried! i had mentioned it, but mum had told me weeks ago she couldnt find it, which was fine obviously, but the week before christmas, she found it! she couldnt not give it to me, its stunning and i cant wait to play with it.
So there you have it! what i got for christmas 2018, i hope you all had a brilliant time, i had a very calm family christmas watching a lot of films!

There are so many good things in "Random Hearts," but they're side by side instead of one after the other. They exist in the same film, but they don't add up to the result of the film. Actually, the film has no result--just an ending, leaving us with all of those fine pieces, still waiting to come together. If this were a screenplay and not the final product, you could see how with one more rewrite, it might all fall into place.
The movie is about two somber, private adults who find out their spouses were having an affair with each other. They find out in an abrupt and final way, when the two cheaters are killed in the crash of a plane they weren't supposed to be on.
Curious, how neither of the survivors ever cries--or maybe they did when the movie wasn't looking. If you think you're happily married and your spouse dies and is exposed as a cheater, don't you cry, anyway? Cry, because you loved them all the same, and now have lost not only your spouse but trust in your memories? "Random Hearts," directed by Sydney Pollack, is too intent on its agenda to stop and observe that; it is about the living and not the dead. Harrison Ford plays a District of Columbia police sergeant, and Kristin Scott Thomas is a Republican congresswoman from New Hampshire. They meet about 45 minutes into the film, in a well-written scene in which he wants to find some kind of closure and she doesn't. "What's the last thing you remember about your husband that you know was true?" he asks her.
Although "Random Hearts" is primarily about the relationship between the two survivors, the early scenes have their own fascination. The movie makes it clear to us that the two cheaters are crash victims, but Ford and Thomas walk through a minefield of available information without making a connection. When Ford finally understands that his wife was not taking the flight for business reasons, he asks, "Are you saying she lied to me?" and we understand how hard this is for him to understand.
How does he feel? Angry? Betrayed? In denial? Ford is an actor able to keep his hand hidden, and he creates interest by not letting us know. He feels something strongly, and he wants answers. The congresswoman absorbs the new facts quickly and efficiently: They cheated, they're dead, they're in the past, it's time to move on. Both of these acts are facades, broken by the survivors in a shocking moment when they fall upon each other in unseemly, and therefore convincing, passion.
There are subplots in the movie, but the emotional themes are more intriguing. One subplot involves Ford as an internal affairs investigator who is on the trail of a crooked cop who may have murdered a witness. All good stuff for another movie, but frankly it's just a distraction here.
More interesting is her subplot, about the details of a congressional campaign, with Pollack convincing in a small role as an adviser who applies spin control to the story of the brave widow. We realize with a certain surprise that she is that rarity in a Hollywood movie, a good-hearted Republican, and later in the film, there's amusing pillow talk. "Are you a Democrat?" she asks. "What if I am?" he says. "We talk," she says, "and I give you books to read." The real interest in the movie involves her emotional discoveries about herself. Ford seems stuck in the fact of betrayal. Thomas seems freed. She re-evaluates everything. Does she really want to run for office? What are her values? Startled to be plunged so quickly into a physical affair, she sees herself, the proper congresswoman, eagerly embracing physical abandon with this cop. "Nobody knows who I am anymore," she says. "Nobody knows how easily I can do this." You hear dialogue like that and you want more. You don't want the resolution of the cop subplot, even if it is handled with a minimum of cheap violence. You like the fact that the movie doesn't make one of these people good and the other bad, but makes both of them shell-shocked survivors with unexplored potential. You wish you could figure out what Harrison Ford is thinking, but then Ford has made a career out of hiding his thoughts.
Maybe the fundamental problem is the point of view. The interesting character here is the woman, but the movie's star is Harrison Ford, and so the film is told from his point of view, and saddled with the unnecessary crime plot he drags in (a plot with no thematic connection to the rest of the story). How about a movie about a Republican congresswoman who loses her husband and gains a cop who looks just like Harrison Ford? All seen through her eyes. Now there would be a movie.

An old lady on a crowded Third Avenue trolley started to work her way toward the door at 96th St., telling people that she had to get off at 48th St. By the time the trolley reached 50th, only one passenger, a distinguished looking man with a white mustache and a homburg, stood between her and her goal. He told her that he was also getting off at 48th Street, and gave her a lecture on not taking travel so seriously. By the time he had finished his speech and pulled the bell cord, they had reached 44th St. He offered the lady his arm and set off with her in the direction of 48th St.

Interesting being known as the car guy at work ... sad Porsche item
- 5 months ago
Odd, whenever an new car shows up in our garage at work, people always seem to pop into my office and ask bout it (they know I drive a Porsche). Unfortunately, today, when somebody asked if I saw the new Porsche Turbo in the garage (Miami Blue, ceramic breaks, yellow belts, etc), I had to tell the sad tale. About two years a go, a coworker's husband was diagnosed with an illness. He always wanted a Porsche. So, he ordered the Turbo, but by the time it arrived, his diagnosis was terminal and he was only able to drive the car for 30 miles before passing away. It sat in the garage, unused, for 18 months. His widow is now finally able to drive it. Absolutely gorgeous car. The color with the yellow calipers is really stunning. Usually, I like to talk about the cars people ask me about, but not this one. Interesting being the car person, as people also pop into my office when they are thinking about buying a new car to ask Qs. Most are not even Porsche people. I always thought non-Porsche people had the negative stereotype about us Porsche people. I guess not. I've gotten to know more people at work then I would normally have. Yes, I'd recognize them in the hallways and say good morning, but now I actually know a bit more and can chat with many instead of the quick hello. Don't think that would happen if I drove a Benz, BMW, Caddy or other luxo sedan.

you're likely not giving yourself enough credit.
Yes. People might know you because you drive a Porsche. But, the fact that people ask you your opinion and ask you questions about cars they're interest in, reflects more about the fact that people respect your opinion. That's you. Not the car.
It's people like you that give Porsche drivers a good name.
Just my $0.02 worth.

Give me a food and I'll give you a memory.
Arabic mezze: moutabl, smoky with burnt aubergine skins and sharp with tahini, labneh, thicker than normal yoghurt, tangy with mint and those glorious triangles of filo stuffed with pale goat's cheese and spinach. Oh, the bread, the side-table sized discs of yeast-free bread, perfect for tearing and dipping.
One mention of moutabl and I'm back at the Dubai supermarket, the site of our first overseas posting. I'm parking our aged baby-poo-coloured Range Rover, unpinging and placing the windscreen sunshield behind the steering wheel, unpopping the baby from a car seat and bracing myself for the heat and the sense of burning sand beneath my flipflops as I place Sam on my hip and carry him to the entrance. This is where I buy the only shopbought moutabl I have ever-found-in-the-whole world that cuts the mustard.
Now I'm back inside the store and doing my weekly shops. I'm either at either the smart one, Spinneys, with its green and yellow leaf logo and vast green plastic trolleys, where I poke Sam's chubby legs through the childseat's holes and push up and down the brightly lit aisles, or the more downmarket Choithram, where the steel trolleys are smaller and more unwieldy and I snake past the piles of Nido powdered milk in tins the size of oil drums and towers of watermelons on my way to the cold cabinet.
And on goes the memory.
For most of our 30 years of marriage, ask us what our favourite food is and we'd say Arabic without pausing for thought. But this week it hit me. It's time we changed our answer – to Indian curry even though we have never lived there. I have not even visited.
Curry has been a red thread through our lives abroad. In Dubai, our wonderful housekeeper and nanny, Julie, from Mangalore, was a fabulous cook. She introduced us to the joy of a home-cooked chicken biryani waiting for us in the oven when we returned from a weekend camping. Josh's first birthday meal was fried fish, dahl and rice. Her butter chicken was the best and so good was her food that I helped her run a small takeaway service for other expatriates in our Oman compound. Yes, we were fortunate enough to take Julie with us when we moved to Oman.
So, in short, we were spoiled. So spoiled that no curry we have ever had in England has matched up. Not one. Not ever. Nor in Norway.
We left Oman in 1995 and for years the only curries that 'worked' for us were the ones I made myself, using Julie's recipes. I never did master chapattis and christened my last attempt 'crapattis'.
Fast forward to Malaysia and we were blessed beyond belief not only to have the best banana leaf and South Indian food on offer, but at eye-wateringly low prices. Real Indian food prepared by real Indian chefs. Our favourite holiday spot became the Taj Vivanta on Rebak island off Langkawi because of its 'real Indian chefs'. Our choice for birthdays and other celebrations would always be a curry and, once we discovered Ganga, the vegetarian restaurant run by the wonderful Meeta, it became our choice for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Every time.
There is nowhere in the Hague that comes anywhere close. Not even the pricey and oft-hallowed Maharani on swanky Noordeinde. Actually, I need to correct the penultimate sentence – there WAS nowhere in the Hague that came anywhere close.
Earlier this week I received a WhatsApp from Josh:
"You free for lunch?"
"Guess so… why? "
"I found a place that does dosa."
Dosa, or thosai, the thin pancakes rolled into a tube like giant's brandy snap s and served with chutneys, dahls and sauces.
I was there.
Krishna Vilas opened a month ago on one of the prettiest streets in The Hague, Hooikade. It's right by the canal and five minutes' cycle from our house.
Instead of a knife and fork at our settings we found a spoon and fork. Things were looking good.
The menu – vada, idli, dosa, uttapam, plain, stuffed, flavoured and served with three chutneys. The same three we knew from KL. The pink one (tomato), the white grainy one (coconut) and the bright green one (mint and coriander). It was hard to choose but in the end had to settle for our own 'acid tests'. For Josh a rawa dosa, for me, an onion uttapam and palak paneer (spinach and cheese curry).
"I must prepare myself to be disappointed," I said, scarcely hopeful that this time, things would be different.
It wasn't rubbish! It was heaven. Heaven. Heaven. Eye-wateringly expensive for a place that serves food on steel 'children's starter plates' with dips in them to put things in. Ten times the price we paid in KL, but then, this was Hooikade.
We went home with grins wide enough to slot in chapatti and eat it whole. We couldn't wait to taunt Ian with our story.
We managed to resist a return visit for just 48 hours. This time with Ian, who got home from work earlier than ever in the history of Ian. We sat down just after six o'clock and the place was full of Indians. People who ate with their fingers and hunched over their plates as they made a porridge of the thali sauces and gently flavoured rice they squeezed into mouthfuls and popped right in.
Ian's 'acid test' was mushroom and pea curry and it did not disappoint. It had Josh going in with his idli, me with my naan and all three of us crooning in delight. It was thick, it was unctuous, there was a nutty quality to it and the mushrooms were chunky and soft.
Suddenly, I spotted a chap nearby was knowingly ripping the soft bread on his tray into stringy fingerfuls ready to dip into his pea curry.
"That looks like roti canai!" I whispered to the others, thrilled to see something that looked remarkably like the dish created by Indian Malaysians that had become our breakfast of choice while we were over there.
"Go and ask him!" they insisted.
So, buoyed up by joy, I headed over.
It was not roti canai, it was paratha, but it was close enough.
"I'm from Chennai," the chap said, grinning from ear to ear. "I have found my home food."
"I just came back from KL," said his table-mate. "Good, eh?"
And so, dear readers. If perchance you discover I am not answering my emails, head down to Krishna Vilas. I think you may find me there.
