MUMBAI IMPROV

 I just cranked out a Mumbai-improvisation of Bow-tie pasta boiled in vegetable stock with Bay Leaves, then tossed with Pav Bhaji; pan roasted red potatoes with crunchy rosemary, black beans, lemon rind and mojo; okra and flat beans with Mexican husk tomatoes, ground orange peppers, Vindaloo curry and hot lime pickle......My nose is a fiery snotfall, and my tongue is pulsing between the edge of pain and fiery ecstasy, already......A Cointreau/raspberry vodka/cognac cocktail will both ignite the hunger fuse and solace my throbbing palate!.....All I've done today.....is cook! and cook!....macadamia nut frozen custard was to be the dessert, but there's no milk!.......there must be a 'workaround'....golden beet sherbet? beets, walnuts and ginger in aspic?

I asked "Are your chicken wings as good as the ones at Thaicoon...down the street? "...... So, minutes later a plate of greasy, underseasoned 'wings' appeared, accompanied by some wilted, tasteless 'celery sticks' and rubbery 'carrot sticks' and a bowl of el cheapo ranch dressing.....the 'commercial' kind that comes in those huge plastic jars..........ugh!......then come the desserts.......my dinner companion had a sugary chocolate brownie...made, of course, from a commercial mix.....(add water and, maybe, an egg and a cup of saturated liquid fat......probably corn oil), dump on some
