Beans Rasam with European Sourdough Bread

Refried bean soup but with rasam powder (friends home-made). absolute sea for the vehicle of European sourdough bread. You have to debate if you need more sipping/soaking sauce or the bread.
On the side is a curry of soaked chana dal with green onions. I have had it usually with onions but husband provided a green twist to it. Right from the first bite and taste, it was classic and original.This happens to be the ooh -aah want more food of the week.
Over the weekend, neighbours had us over for momos and the tomato sauce happened to be right in every aspect and it vanished faster than I could drink it. How does food get that perfect point where you know its right. Same recipe. Same person. Same technique and yet sometimes its the best than all the other times.

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

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… "
