Chicken pasta from the kitchen of ...

At a Potluck while eating the chicken pasta, I looked at the cream clinging to the penne and wondered what kind of cheese is it or how was it done so that the cheese/sauce stuck to it so well. After few bites, hmm which deli did they get the chicken from in these strip forms that matched the long shape of the pasta. here's the hollow penne paired with chicken strips.
I praised the chicken and asked the lady who brought it about it. she said she didnt make it and said its from Costco.
Whats going on in the minds of people when they eat what you make. They are wondering about the journey of the ingredients and how it was made. They are making it perfect in their mind like you did in your mind and kitchen like a time fractal.

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… "
