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? I can hint to J that *men* also cook. He only boils milk for cornflakes. That is his definition of cooking.

Mind sharing the recipe??

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

I would suspect the week-old-rasam and not the cruchy-spicy potatoes. Mind sharing some of that Rasam, brother?

Moral: Drink week-old fermented rasam, and get dreams where i advise you to design domes for magic carpets? I thought i heard it all!!

Hey,
I noticed you'd added me to your friends list. So I'm adding you back.

The french have wine and we have fermented rasam, it seems!

Rasam is my ultimate comfort food. It's a good thing it's so easy to make :)
