Of your posts this far, this piece strikes me as the most humorous. Just to name a few places: your lengthy disclaimer. The descriptions of sad curry leaves & bagged grocery shop shredded coconut. It truly is a wonder, especially since you threw profound pearls (such as "presence is not partnership") into the mix as well. In my opinion, it's got everything. This post is a delicious stew!
VPep, this made me giggle so much 🤗 I have always believed kitchens are allowed their theatrics, provided dinner eventually materialises. A little humour, a little philosophy, a little affectionate exasperation, and hopefully something nourishing underneath it all. I am so glad you found both the silliness and the substance.
Very thoughtful process
Thank you Elia!

I like the idea that my ingredients have personality.
Oh, they absolutely do 😄 Which perhaps explains why you and I both have strong opinions about who belongs in the pan first.
