Curtain Story: The super serious, dark, dramatic and heroic rivalry of Miles Bridgerton and Charles Bridgerton

by @orangepeelshortbreadcookies

Chapter 2 - 4.4 / 3.9

Ratings: General

Word count: 2,155

Chapter summary: In which the warring tension between our two warring factions, how do they say, intensifies. There will be fighting. There will be fire.

Miles hates his cousin Charlie. He hates his stupid face, his smiley eyes, his dumb crooked grin. He hates that Charlie can say things that he doesn’t understand. He hates that Charlie’s Eomma and Dad are just as cool as his own (it should not be possible because his parents are the coolest.) He hates that Charlie must naturally have a room on Auntie Sophie’s spaceship and he doesn’t. He hates that nobody, not even Edmund (his brother and sidekick!) allows him to kick the younger boy. Even when Miles promises that it will be the smallest, tiniest kick possible. He hates him. Hates him. Hates him.

It doesn’t take long for the feelings to be mutual.

Charlie knows Miles hates him, and instead of cowering from it, he faces Miles head on. Constantly one-upping and contradicting Miles, much to the aggravation of the older boy. Their altercations usually unfold as such:

“My Amma makes the best dosa. I get all five of the chutneys.” Miles declared, arms crossed, rather smugly. They are still getting to know each other. There is no way Auntie Sophie can be as good of a cook as his Amma. Amma makes the best food.

Charlie pushes the truck Cousin Auggie let him borrow, back and forth, on the ground, and calmly responds:

“Eomma makes the best rice cakes, seongpyeon. She makes them with seven colours. They also have honey inside.”

Belinda perks up at Miles.

“Miles! You like honey!”

“No I don’t.” He denies. He is actually very curious. “My Amma makes the best matar paneer. It is very creamy.”

“Eomma makes me lunch boxes with all the stuff.” Charlie says, still the picture of perfect nonchalance. “She makes the rice look like a bunny and the eggs look like a bow and my Dad cuts the carrots into stars.”

Belinda claps her hands together.

“Oh that is so cute! I want to see it!” A little lisp escapes from her.

“No you don’t!” Miles exclaims. Then he glares at Charlie in disbelief. “You’re lying.”

Belinda furrows her eyebrows at Miles.

“Don’t tell me what to do.”

“I’m not lying.” Charlie looks offended.

“Yes you are.” Miles insists. “I’ll tell. You are lying liar.”

“No I’m not!” Charlie’s face is slowly turning red. “You’re just jealous!” He points at Miles accusingly.

The other boy blinks at the acutely accurate accusation.

Belinda gasps and chimes in.

“He’s right! You are jealous.”

“No I’m not!”

“Are too!” 

“I’m not!!!”

Then Charlie says something in Korean or French, and not understanding what it means irritates Miles to no end. He retaliates by calling the other boy stupid. Then the two launch into each other, fists flying, until the adults separate and put them both in time-out. By that point, both of them have been crying for a few minutes and completely forgotten what it is they were arguing about.

*********

At night, dramatically, Miles swivels and sulks in his throne, which just happens to be his Dad’s big desk chair, the fireplace crackles behind him, the glow of the flame against the darkness of the room reflects his mood. If there has been thunder as well, it would have been perfect. Eyes squinting, he reconsiders his strategy. And his opponent. Charlie. His archnemesis.

What can one do with such an adversary? How can this child show up one day and manage to garner everybody at his feet, monopolising all the attention that has taken Miles years, decades, centuries to cultivate? It cannot just be because he is cute. Fine, Miles will concede that Charlie is pretty dang cute. But he is just as cute as Charlie! No, that cannot just be it. It must be some kind of magic. Yes, this theory makes more sense. Maybe when Charlie mumbles those intelligible languages, he is actually conjuring an evil spell. Miles comes to the realisation with a start. What if his cousin Charlie is a dark sorcerer?

But no, that can’t be. Because Auntie Sophie is a scientist. Scientists and sorcerers are different, everyone knows that.

Maybe Charlie is something more.

Something more dangerous.

A scientist-sorcerer, perhaps.

A sciencerer!

A dark, mad sciencerer!

When the light turns on, Miles is snapped out of his scheming. His Amma stands by the door, one hand on her hips. She pins him with an inquiring look.

“There you are, Miles. Time for bed. What are you doing there in the dark, in your Father’s chair?”

Miles gives her his most innocent smile.

“I am, um, scheming.” Balloons! He slips. He hopes she doesn’t notice it. “I mean, I am just watching the fire.”

“Are you now?” Miles thinks Amma is trying to bite back a laugh. “I’m afraid the time of fire watching is over. You should go put your jim-jams on now.”

Before he departs for the nursery, Miles stops by Kate and gives her a great big hug.

“I love you, Amma.” His voice is muffled in her clothes as he takes in lungfuls of her soap and lily scent.

Kate blinks back tears from her eyes. Pregnancy has sent her emotions running in every direction. And her second boy is being so sweet.

“I love you, too, sweetheart. I’ll tuck you two in in a few minutes. Don’t forget to brush your teeth.”

 As cliched as it is, when Kate watches the form of Miles disappearing down the hallway, she has the thought all parents have at some points regarding their children.

They grow up so fast.

There is another thing that Miles cannot tell Amma, unfortunately, as it is a matter of utmost secrecy. It is an oath that he swears to himself, rather heroically so.

Don’t worry, Amma. I will save you. I will save everybody from Cousin Charlie’s evil scimagic!

At the same time, in another household, Benedict puts back P'tit Loup aime sa petite soeur back where it belongs on the bookshelf before quietly leaving the nursery. Charlie is already sound asleep.

*******

Miles’s plan begins with the obvious.The biggest weapon in his enemy’s arsenal. Charlie Bridgerton’s cuteness.

You take away the glamour, you expose the source of the enemy’s power. You open the cover of any instrument, any machine, you reveal the workings of the mechanism within. It is true for magic, it is true for science. It must be true for Charlie, who is both. Taking away his cuteness will weaken him, or at least temporarily hamper the force of his science-spell long enough for everyone to wake up from it.

So when Charlie comes to visit Aubrey Hall with his parents that weekend, Miles gets ready. 

As they are laid down next to each other for their afternoon nap that day in the nursery, Miles tries his hardest not to doze off. Instead, he holds onto his markers under his pillow for dear life.

When he is sure Charlie is not awake anymore, he quietly approaches the boy, careful not to wake up his brother, Auggie, Belinda and Caroline. Brown for earth. Blue for water. Orange for fire. White for wind but Edmund has used up all the white one so grey is for wind. Black is for space but Miles can’t find it so purple is for space. Keeping quiet, completely focused, he squiggles this way and that on Charlie’s sleeping face, in an exorcising ritual that only makes sense to Miles alone.

Satisfied with his work, he returns to his pillow and finally allows himself to take his well-earned nap. When we wake up, he thinks drowsily, hopefully, the science-spell will be broken. Things will return to how it is meant to be.

Miles drifts off to unconsciousness, smiling to himself. A vague thrill buzzes in the back of his mind and an unclassified fear settles in the pit of his stomach.

All hecks break loose after the nap.

Caroline is the first one to wake. She looks around, sees what happens to Charlie, and immediately starts screaming. Her loud voice starts the rest of the children out of their slumber. Edmund comes to, looks at her to see what the fuss is, and starts screaming too when he looks at Charlie, who is still drowsy from sleep and does not understand what is going on. Still maintaining some sort of composure are Belinda and Auggie. Belinda quickly finds a mirror so Charlie can look at his face before she too screams. A suddenly very nervous Miles sneakily hides himself behind the drapes, while Auggie runs down the hall and cries out for the adults with all the strength his little lungs can produce.

Still-groggy, overstimulated, confused, and frightened at his own reflection, little Charlie bursts into tears as the adults storm in, fully expecting a home invasion in broad daylight, but find a crying colourful boy instead.

Miles can hear from his spot behind the drape, Uncle Benedict and Auntie Sophie attempting to sooth a distraught Charlie, as well as Auntie Daphne and Uncle Simon comforting their own children. He can hear Amma talking to Edmund. But the loudest of all, is a menacing, foreboding sound that Miles hates most in the world. Cheese and rice, he thinks, I've done it now.

“MILES!!!” 

It is the sound of his Dad's angry voice, the one he only uses when Edmund and he are in big, big trouble.

The boy in question feels a chill run down his spine.

Guilt and fear mix up together all confusingly. But buried underneath it all, at the centre, is a mystery Miles can’t quite solve.

How did they find out it was me?

As the only parent present not occupied with armfuls of upset children who need to be pacified, Anthony Bridgerton takes a quick investigative sweep about the nursery. At the empty spot on the mat where his second son has inhabited earlier, the pillow has been kicked away, probably by Miles himself during the panic. The shuffle reveals two markers, orange and grey, both uncapped, their ink bleeds onto the mat and into the fabric of the pillow. Curiously, Miles is not among the crying children. And when Anthony’s eyes catch two little socked feet peeking out from under the blackout curtains, there is no doubt in his mind who the culprit of this madness is. 

There is no answer, however, after he has called his name.

"Come out here this instant, Miles." Anthony's tone is low, warning. "I can see you."

Silence. Then he sees some movement underneath the velvet. It looks like Miles is wiping his hand over his face. Oh shit, Anthony wonders, Is he crying? And his anger immediately melts away at the thought. Did I raise my voice too much? Did I scare him? Anthony is reminded how it must have been like for his own father, going through this six times over, before his untimely death. 

He shakes himself out of the sentiment. He forces himself to harden his resolve once more. He has been through this with his brother Gregory. He is still going through it with Edmund. He can do the same with Miles. Children need discipline as well as affection. They need to learn. No matter how sweet and sad they look. And Anthony knows as well as Miles does, that the four-year-old can be very persuasive.

“Step away from the curtain, son.” Anthony tries again, his voice has become softer. They can try to solve this as gently as possible.

Any planned attempt on that front, however, is dead from its conception in Anthony’s brain, as Miles steps out from behind the curtains and reveals himself.

The entire room turns dead silent as they look at Miles. Even the victim, little Charlie, stops his sobbing momentarily.

Across his son’s face, disappearing under the tufts of dark hair over his forehead, are marker drawings. Blue, purple and brown. Long, disorganised lines, a lot of them paralleling as if Miles has used two or all three markers at the same time. Unlike the number he has done on his cousin’s face, which consists of deliberate flourishes and meditated use of colours, this is the product of pure panic thinking. Anthony can spy the markers peering out of his pocket.

“It was a thief!” Miles says. His arms spread out in exclamation. There is even more ink on his hands. “A thief got in and drew on our faces when we were sleeping. He said he wanted to mark the children before he kidnapped them. I lured him away before he could get to the others!”

For a moment, Anthony is speechless. His head drops to his chest, mentally counting to 10 as he tries to regulate his breathing.

From behind him, Anthony hears Simon let out a snort.

“Don’t, Basset.” Miserably, he turns to his best friend and mutters under his breath. “Don’t you dare.” 

It is the closest Anthony will ever come to begging outside of his bedroom.

Paneer Butter Masala and Pinot Noir: A Classic Indian Dish with an Elegant Red

Whether you’re hosting an event for your family, a holiday dinner, or a potluck, it’s important to choose the right snacks or ingredients that pair beautifully with your wine and enhance the flavor of your food. Paneer is highly versatile and besides being nutritious, it can be used in a range of snacks, dishes, desserts, and more as well as pair seamlessly with your glass of bubbly.

Here are some of the most popular paneer dishes that are perfect for your next soiree.

Matar paneer

When looking for paneer in Sydney,one of the most popular Indian dishes is matar (sweet peas) paneer which is well-known for its delicious and flavorful gravy that can be enjoyed with rice or chapatis. When paired with fruit-flavored wines or even dry sparkling wines such as Chandon Rose or Shiraz, it gives off a burst of flavors which makes it the ideal combination.

Palak paneer

Paneer in Melbourne and spinach pair well. This combination is fresh, rich, and creamy. Palak paneer pairs well with a beautiful Chandon Brut as the acidity of the wine helps to cut through the richness of the paneer giving it a smooth and delicious finish that complements the dish.

Paneer tikka

While most curries tend to be on the milder side and have a creamy taste, Indian paneer tikka boasts a richness and spices that tend to add a burst of flavor and heat. Pairing this dish with a fresh and fruity wine like Brut sparkling wine helps to soften the spiciness and bring out the creaminess.

In Conclusion

When it comes to pairing Indian food with wine, you don’t need to follow the rules, judge the richness of the dish, the spice, and the ingredients and try out a couple of wines until you find one that balances your dish and matches your palate. Paneer is rich and versatile and this allows you to experiment with a range of dishes, desserts, and snacks for your dinner.

The city’s street food reflects its cultural diversity and historical depth, offering a variety of flavors and textures that are a treat to the senses. Varanasi’s street food scene is a vibrant mix of flavors, textures, and traditions. From the spicy and tangy Tamatar Chaat to the creamy, dreamy Malaiyo, the city offers a culinary journey that is as rich and diverse as its history. Each dish tells a story of the city’s cultural heritage, making every bite a unique experience. Whether you are a food connoisseur or a curious traveler, the street foods of Varanasi promise a gastronomic adventure that is both satisfying and unforgettable.

Kachori Sabzi: Kachori Sabzi is a quintessential Varanasi breakfast, loved by locals and tourists alike. This dish consists of round, flaky pastries called kachoris, stuffed with a spicy mixture of lentils or urad dal. These are deep-fried until golden and crispy. The kachoris are served with a piping hot, tangy, and spicy potato curry (sabzi) that perfectly complements the rich, flaky pastry. A variant called choti kachori, smaller in size, is also popular. The dish is often garnished with green chilies and coriander, making it a perfect blend of flavors and textures.

Chena Dahi Vada: A unique twist on the traditional dahi vada, the Chena Dahi Vada of Varanasi is made from chena (paneer or fresh cottage cheese). These soft, fluffy vadas are soaked in chilled, creamy yogurt and topped with a drizzle of sweet tamarind chutney, spicy green chutney, and a sprinkle of chaat masala and roasted cumin powder. The result is a delightful balance of sweet, spicy, and tangy flavors, combined with the melt-in-the-mouth texture of the vadas.

Tamatar Chaat: Tamatar Chaat is a spicy and tangy street food unique to Varanasi. Made from mashed tomatoes cooked with boiled potatoes, spices, and green chilies, this chaat is a burst of flavors. The mixture is garnished with sev (crunchy chickpea noodles), chopped onions, fresh coriander, and sometimes pomegranate seeds. It's served hot, making it a perfect snack for any time of the day. The combination of soft tomatoes, crispy sev, and aromatic spices makes Tamatar Chaat an irresistible treat.

Baati Chokha: Baati Chokha is a traditional dish from the region, often associated with rustic, village-style cooking. Baati are round wheat flour dough balls, baked or roasted until they are crisp on the outside and soft inside. They are typically served with chokha, a mashed vegetable preparation made from roasted eggplant (baingan), tomatoes, and potatoes, flavored with mustard oil, garlic, and green chilies. This dish is usually enjoyed with a dollop of ghee (clarified butter) on the baati, enhancing its rich flavor and making it a wholesome meal.

Malaiyo: A seasonal delicacy available only during the winter months, Malaiyo is a light and airy dessert that captures the essence of Varanasi. It is made by churning milk and cream overnight and letting it sit under the open sky to collect dew. The next morning, it is flavored with saffron, cardamom, and a hint of sugar, resulting in a frothy, creamy concoction that melts in the mouth. Often garnished with pistachios and almonds, Malaiyo is a testament to the culinary artistry and tradition of the city.

Chura Matar: Chura Matar is a simple yet flavorful dish made from flattened rice (poha) and fresh green peas. The poha is lightly sautéed with peas, mustard seeds, cumin, green chilies, ginger, and a dash of lemon juice. This dish is often enjoyed during the winter season when fresh peas are abundant. It's garnished with coriander leaves and sometimes grated coconut, offering a refreshing, light, and healthy snack that's both filling and delicious.

Banarasi Paan: While not a food in the traditional sense, Banarasi Paan is an integral part of Varanasi's street food culture. A betel leaf filled with a mixture of areca nut, slaked lime, and various sweet and savory condiments, Banarasi Paan is a post-meal treat that aids digestion and leaves a refreshing taste in the mouth. There are many variations, including meetha (sweet) and sada (plain), each offering a unique experience. The art of making and serving paan is a skill passed down through generations, making it a cultural as well as a culinary delight.

Thandai: Thandai is a traditional cooling beverage that holds a special place in Varanasi’s food culture, especially during festivals like Holi and Mahashivratri. This drink is made from a mixture of milk, sugar, almonds, fennel seeds, watermelon seeds, rose petals, pepper, cardamom, saffron, and poppy seeds. The ingredients are ground into a fine paste and mixed with milk to create a rich, aromatic drink. Sometimes, bhang (cannabis) is added during certain festivals, making it a unique and celebratory beverage. Served chilled, Thandai is both refreshing and nourishing.

Lassi: Varanasi's lassi is a rich, creamy yogurt-based drink, often enjoyed as a refreshment on hot days. This thick, frothy beverage is sweetened with sugar and flavored with rose water or cardamom. It’s usually topped with a generous dollop of malai (cream) and sometimes garnished with dry fruits like almonds and pistachios. Served in traditional earthenware cups, lassi in Varanasi is not just a drink but an experience that reflects the city’s culinary heritage.

Jalebi: No exploration of Varanasi’s street food is complete without indulging in the syrupy sweetness of Jalebi. Made from a batter of fermented flour, these spirals are deep-fried until crispy and then soaked in sugar syrup flavored with saffron or cardamom. Jalebis are best enjoyed hot and fresh, offering a delightful contrast of textures with a crispy exterior and a juicy, syrupy interior. Often paired with Rabri (thickened sweetened milk) for an extra indulgence, Jalebis are a popular treat enjoyed by people of all ages.

In order to explore culinary variety and taste popular dishes, opt for Varanasi Food Tour by Optima Travels. Culinary tours of Varanasi are conducted either in the morning or in the evening. Both the time, different dishes are prepared for the foodies. For example, Malayyio is available only in the morning, that too in wee hours of the winter season.

Kulcha Trends What’s Hot in the Culinary World

Introduction

Amritsar, the city of Googly eyes – food lovers often relate this place with some of the most lip-smacking kulchas. Currently, numerous restaurants across the globe offer this delectable bread in varying styles but none can beat the original taste of the best kulcha in Amritsar.

This includes Umang Veg Restaurant – a place famous for offering the following service; The Best Kulcha. This blog takes a closer look at kulcha and traces its origins and the unique, exciting contemporary adaptations of this delicious food item that has swept food enthusiasts across the world off their feet.

Traditional Kulcha A Timeless Classic

Tandoori kulcha, on the other hand, is a classic part of Punjabi Food Items and is best savored with Chole or spiced chickpea curry. I like this old style where the bun is quite moist on the inside and the crust is slightly crunchy.

The dough initially involves refined flour, yogurt, and baking powder to be fermented until the right texture is obtained. The savory version of kulcha requires baking in a tandoor and results in black speckles and a smoky flavor profile.

While I was in Amritsar and tasting lots of local food, I came across the Umang Veg Restaurant which serves a traditional and excellent Butter Chicken.

Many times, the locals refer to Kulcha as the Best Kulcha in Amritsar attributing it to local spices and ghee, butter that is often used in preparing them.

Stuffed Kulcha A Flavor Explosion

Another significant innovation that has emerged in the kulcha bread is in the stuffing’s used to prepare the kulchas. From hot potatoes to paneer or Indian cottage cheese chirping mince meat filling gives it an entirely different taste and texture altogether.

This is because, apart from the different types of fillings available, every bite has that element of surprise, making stuffed kulchas a favorite among aficionados.

Picking up from the preceding subsection, let us focus on one of their specialties namely the stuffed kulchas.

Being assorted in kinds and flavors, they provide you with the items that can be called The Best Kulcha in Amritsar that are filled with things that are familiar to Indian tastes and novelties.

Filling options can range from spicy aloo matar to the creaminess of paneer, making it an eater’s delight.

Fusion Kulcha A Modern Twist

The versatility and creativity are evident in this flatbread and as trends around the world progress so does the kulcha that starts as a simple ingredient or base product.

Today, fusion kulchas are on the headlines due to adding tricks and tips from both traditional Indian cuisine and commercials.

Say Mexican-style culches with refried beans and cheese or Italian-style kulches with stuffing of sun-dried tomatoes, olives, and mozzarella cheese.

The above-mentioned variations are ideal for those people who wish to try out new faces while at the same time embracing the normal kulcha taste.

Restaurant Standard Modernization Nowadays there is fusion kulcha served in restaurants located in various metropolitan areas has gained popularity in society, especially among the youth who are innovative in exploring different food.

This trend also helps will help to keep kulcha as a relevant food product in the increasingly integrated global economy.

Health-Conscious Kulcha A Guilt-Free Indulgence

The main idea of the article is the search for healthier versions of popular food and drinks in the context of the growing health concern. Enter the health-conscious kulcha.

Depending on the ingredients used, and can be made using whole wheat flour, multigrain, or even for gluten-intolerant individuals, these kulchas are for everyone looking to have their meal made healthy.

Designed as a small vegetarian restaurant under the name Umang Veg Restaurant, located in Amritsar, this place has been serving some of the tastiest and healthiest kulchas in this area.

By processing food that is made of different types of flour and adding nutrient-rich stuff such as mixed vegetables and lean meat, they offer options that are tasty as well as healthy.

This consideration for health, yet not at the cost of taste, makes them stand out among the other eateries to offer the Best Kulcha in Amritsar.

Gourmet Kulcha Elevating Street Food to Fine Dining

Kulcha, which was earlier an election campaign food item or a fast food item, is slowly hitting the gourmet restaurants. Many top chefs have also found ways to enhance the flavors of this bread using quality ingredients and cooking procedures.

This dish goes a long way to prove that kulchas are a versatile food that can be eaten in a gourmet style especially when customized with truffle oil, microgreens, and exotic spices.

It is for this reason that in fine dining restaurants, these luxurious kulchas are often accompanied by wines and special accompaniments, and thus a simple meal is usually turned into a luxury meal.

This trend poses a concern about the culinary uses of kulcha, as evidenced by the ability of this food to place well even in the highest classes of dining.

Umang Veg Restaurant A Kulcha Haven

Located in one of Amritsar’s most vibrant and crowded areas, Umang Veg Restaurant truly is a paradise for anyone looking forward to indulging in a delicious kulcha.

This restaurant claims to have the best kulcha in Amritsar and it has a unique combination of the traditional preparation methods and delicious recipes for many types of meals. Every kulcha that is produced passes the necessary tests and provides satisfaction with the result for every client.

Street Food Revival Back to the Roots

However, in the world of food, has not strayed far from its Indian roots. From simple food stalls to small restaurants, street food is slowly coming back to the spotlight and there is nothing better than munching on a delicious kulcha while walking on the streets.

These spots are generally more raw, offering an insight into what the local kulcha started as.

The small food joints and the StreetSide food sellers in Amritsar fight tooth and nail for supremacy to present you with the Best Kulcha in Amritsar that you could ever lay your hands upon.

This versatility and constant evolution are directly connected to the fact that kulcha is a part of street food culture, and it is rooted in India’s history.

Toss in the boiled green peas (matar) and let the gravy simmer for a couple of minutes.

Introduce the Paneer:

Gently add the paneer cubes to the simmering gravy. Be careful not to break them.

Sprinkle crushed Kasuri Methi over the paneer. This adds a delightful aroma and flavor to the dish.

Give everything a gentle stir, ensuring the paneer and peas are coated in the creamy Shahi goodness.

Finishing Touches:

If the gravy seems too thick, adjust the consistency by adding a splash of water.

Let the Shahi Matar Paneer simmer for another 3-4 minutes on low heat, allowing the flavors to meld together beautifully.

Serve and Enjoy:

Your Punjabi Style Shahi Matar Paneer is now ready to be savored!

Garnish with a drizzle of fresh cream and a sprinkle of chopped coriander leaves for that extra dash of freshness.

Serve hot with fluffy naan, steamed rice, or your favorite Indian bread.
