Sweet that tips the day

Today I had lunch at Chompies. Last time when I had bruch at a different location, it was 'bagel with lox' after a hike.
They took too long to bring the food on the table. The Matzo ball soup. What some one ate 78 in 8 min. We were talking about  professional food eaters and how they do it. I didnt know that it was vegetarian.
I could go for a pecan test.
The Knish was good.  black and white cookies with its cake feel. We didnt have space for Babka. My own choice of Cajun Ecstasy of Chicken sandwich of Bialy instead of brioche was too low on spices.
I have ODed on cake with chocolate chip quick bread for dinner. Whos heard of normal days with such offences?
Recently I was looking at a kids homework book. the section with different kinds of seeds has the labels but the grains are missing. Living in a hostel, is one way to find heaven in a grain.

Mohanthal

Today I learnt of Mohanthal from a neighbor at community potluck. One of the dishes was a malai kofta made from mexican squash. Another neighbor spoke about how hard she found to make batura. 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… "
