Driving Hungry



I came across Layne Mosler's work in Best womens travel writing vol 8  by Lavinia Spalding
Mango butter

The idea of taking dining tips from cabbies is interesting. The Cabbies in all the three different places that the author has been display a good understanding of how their nations/cities work. The author has a way of expressing herself with sentences like my emergency contact is millions of miles away.
The Buenos Aires section is well put together. But after her disenchantment with that place, it never again reaches that peak with her subsequent adventures in new places. If Buenos Aires was her astronomical moon flight, then every other attempt dims out in comparision.
Perfect as travel anthology essays.

 "The future never has the nerve to be the present completely without first trying things out, and that trying things out is hope" - Borges, "The Full extent of Hope" essay.

Egg Malai Masala

Many times I have felt the onions grainy, but this time I got it right. Patience.

Cuban Bread

So you should already know the sweet and breadrolls book if you have already read of the popovers. I have planned on making bread for a long time. A detour of popovers and finally I'm aqui. From the same book, I tried this Cuban bread and enjoyed making the slits in the bread. Like a surgeon. I still have to get the proofing right. The actual recipe reading takes place in real time. I was reading about the bread on the web and when I came across the lines about how it is different from a French bread in that it is left to rise after shaping the loaf, I was worried that my Cuban bread would lose its nationality. Turns out that I hadnt progressed that far into the recipe. The Best American travel writing 2008 Khubz al arabi
