My wonderful kitchen

[cheeni]

I was at home this (sunday) evening, and I decided to make myself some dinner a little early. So I started working on some potatoes, and ended up making a super tasting dish. I think I have a new award winning recipe for crunchy spicy potatoes :-) Anyway, I had this along with some thing from the refrigerator (rasam) that was a week old - but it tasted good anyway, so I finished off a significant portion of it.

Somehow this culinary combination left me unnaturally comatose. I dozed on the couch for a little while with the TV playing, and then I came to, and had enough energy to turn off the lights and crawl into bed at 8:00 PM!!

And that wasn't all, I had these dreams. My, my such dreams - they were the wildest, weirdest ever. For example, I was flying over rural forested(??) Kansas plains(I've never been to Kansas) in a magic carpet with my Dad by my side, and I was spotting wild elephants(!!) below us. I would point out these out-of-place pachyderms to my Dad in a very matter of fact way, and then I'd throw the carpet into a tight turn, and I could actually feel the G forces as I tried to stay on the damn thing without falling off (my dad had no problems with G forces for some reason)!

((In a later version of this dream, I solved the problem of falling off the carpet during turns by installing a bulbous dome, not unlike what's found on a helicopter. Naturally, this dream being so weird, I had to take pointers on building this dome from a live, full size helicopter that sriramb had conveniently parked on his rooftop ))

After a few more dreams that were super surreal, I began to wake up with a realization that I had just cooked something precious in my kitchen. Who needs magic mushrooms anymore? What? :-)

P.S. Anyway, now I'm wide awake and up at 2AM with nothing to do except post on LJ!

Ahem!!! Would you invite J and me when me move there?

You are moving here? That'll be nice, when? And, yes, of course you can come home. I can't promise that I'll cook up something equally fantastic, but then I'd have to charge for that, wouldn't I ? ;-)

Mind sharing the recipe??

For the week old rasam? I bet you are asking about the potatoes: Well, it more or less goes like this. [...] On second thoughts, I will email it to you - it's probably too long to put in a comment.

And your dreams are so much saner than the ones I have!!

Of course, without knowing what your dreams are like, I'd have no way to compare, but I did mention that I had a few more that were super surreal. Maybe we should compare those dreams sometime!

Yes, I meant the potatoes. I love rasam, but J does not! he calls it bolied tomato water!! So I am quite lazy to make raam just for myself. :(

We are planning to move there, sometime soon yes! You can surely charge, when you invite us...not a problem at all :D I will enure J is there with a loaded wallet. And of course, looking forward to meeting you! :)

Maybe we should compare those dreams sometime!

Errr.. I am not sure if you will like to do that. Like in the morning I dreamt I was at a beach and there was something eerie about the place. Maybe it was something to do with the Marine Drive I visited yesterday.

My dreams are quite weird. Quite strange.
