Aroma Interrupted

I usually stay away from pulav afraid of the power it had on me, most part of my life. My friends are braver. Lima beans pulao caught my attention fr the simple reason that when I asked my refrigerator, I heard
" I dont have spring onions on me".
Veg pulao out.
It got me a good grade from my roomate.

Strangely, the market had an empty bin of 'Indian eggplant'. I wasnt as disappointed cause I employed 'Chinese eggplant' for the fix, despite recalling lack of any nutrients in it. Wait does colacacia fall under tis category!!

brinjal potato stir fry bagged 2 thumbs up cause my roomate had it both for lunch and after lunch. And did I patiently do a stir fry already.

I had to stop making okra pulusu so that it can be mae exactly when needed, which is tomorrow.

She said that as she would shape the dough, it would spring back to its original shape. That makes me appreciate the complexity of dishes and the act of cooking. My neighbor impressed with my interest in he sweet, shared some Mohanthal with us. It is truly a sweet from heaven. I was reminded of a sweet from my marriage. Another neighbor quipped about the satisfactoin of eating when very hungry and not as much when you eat on time everyday, which resonated in the following lines of Charles Bukowski in  Wandering in the cage. "the best thing about near-starvation and hunger is that when you finally eat it is such a beautiful and delicious and magical thing. people who eat 3 meals a day throughout life have never really tasted food… "
