Venue: Herb n flavors

One thing different from restaurant and home dining is the music played. For the effect, he music has to be something unknown to you. If you try to play it at home, you wouldnt buy it without knowing its good. With Shazam you can find what is that music that is cohesing your food experience into a multi sensory filigree.

All my life seemed slower and lower. Lebanese Blonde (happens to be one from the soundtrack of Garden State. A DVD that I had looked at the covers of.)

From the menu we picked Pesto chicken pizza with jalapeno pesto, Chicken Shawarma wrap and Chicken Fantasia.

The Shawarma was short and stocky. The pickles, I have never had Shawarma with pickles.You really stop to put all the flavours of until then aside and use this as a break. Something to be said about the meat. When the ''organ'icity' of the vegetarian dishes is touted in green, that of the meat has no flash lights.
A bit of orchestration was going on. First a slice of pizza, my half with no cheese(The chef with the toque is nothing if not accomodating). A thin crust one. A slight bitter taste of the pesto sauce, from the pinenuts?
Then chicken Fantasia with too much red sauce around a cup of brown rice. Chicken strips all around the sauce.  With boxed up pizza, no space for dessert or coffee. What

If you are around, father's can have their entree at 1/2 price on Fathers Day.

Egg Malai Masala

  Egg Malai Masala  Its fun when things turn out as they should. I pureed the onions and then cooked them well. I added the milk for the egg Malai Masala and made chicken curry with other half of the onion base. I used kasoori methi in both. Many times I have felt the onions grainy, but this time I got it right. Patience.

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… "
