Essays for laughs

While reading David Sedaris's When you are engulfed in flames, I came across Scandinavian buffet. Tomorrow is a soup day in Sweden.

Four of us on the edge of a tiny ice ledge
A small hedgehog like animal
is close to our feet
We cant dislodge it down as it
will stick to the feet
We are happy when it falls down
on its own accord

In the morning, mountains seems
so safe like stong ice that never melts

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.

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.

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
