We all like to treat ourselves to a little something with our monthly salaries. For some, its a 3-hour spa with all the bells and whistles, for others, its a weekend getaway to some exotic resort. Whatever floats your boat, we all have what i'd call a "salary pleasure".
For me, its a nice meal at the nearby Nando's Chicken restaurant. I always order the same thing: 1/4 herb and lemon chicken with chips and potato salad on the side. An empty side plate too, please. Then i mix up a big dollop of Extra Hot Peri-Peri Sauce and the Garlic Peri-Peri Sauce in the empty plate, them proceed to dip the chips, potato salad and thin slices of chicken into it before putting them into my mouth.
Its a nice little ritual that i try to drag out as long as i can, my record being 50 minutes to finish the meal. I wash everything down with a bottle of mineral water and tall glass of ice. Its heavenly.
I always have a good feeling about myself when i leave the restaurant, a nice little burning sensation on my tongue and in my gut, happy and satisfied that i've made it through another month in the rat race of work.
Cheers, Nando's!
