I'm a self-absorbed Bengali-Torontonian; Fish comes to me raw, wrappend in seaweed, not cooked in curry; I love watching thunderstorms and rain; Sad endings make more sense to me than happy ones; I hate empty walls.

1 rainy day 1 old friend in town 1 cup rice 4 cups cooked spaghetti 3 slabs of chicken breasts 1 small pkg of minced meat 3 eggs 1 can cream of mushroom soup 1/2 tomato 2 small onions 1 small green chili 2 tsp garlic/ginger 1 tbl grated Parmesan 1 incompetent cook on a time crunch 1 clogged sink Salt and black pepper to taste
Method - Don't plan the menu - Randomly start with the pasta dish - Cut up chicken breast into pieces and saute in oil. Add tomatoes and soup. Keep stirring, mix in the grated cheese - While planning to pour the chicken Parmesan sauce over the cooked spaghetti, pour the spaghetti in the sauce and make a gooey mess - Abandon pasta and start on the brilliant plan of changing the menu to Rice, Egg curry and Kabab - Shamelessly cook rice in the rice cooker - Let the mince meat defrost as you let two eggs boil in water - Foolishly think eggs are hard boiled and remove from heat - Peel the eggs in haphazard fashion so that it starts to resemble a cauliflower and you can see that the egg is DEFINITELY not hard boiled - Think 21st century and break an egg in the microwave egg cooker and cook for 40 seconds - Realize that the traitorous egg has scrambled - Don't Panic - Place the other soft boiled egg in a dish and microwave for 10 seconds - Take the egg out and poke to check firmness - Wait for the EGG to EXPLODE in your face and all over the kitchen - Accept all future stereotypical comments of "Oh gawd you can't even boil an egg or rice for that matter. What else can you expect for a desi girl in the west!" - Rejoice in the cooperation of the minced meat mixed with chopped onions and green chilies - Bring out the packaged kebob spices and mix well with the meat - Make flat round shapes of kabab and deep fry - In the midst of realizing that the kitchen sink has clogged, try to spice up the bland dish of rice into a Biryani - With 5 minutes left till the arrival of your guest, quickly caramelize the rest of the chopped onions and add the bland rice. Stir to further mush-up the rice. - While no one is watching, add a dash of Shan Biryani Spice to the rice. Mix. - Garnish with one really understanding friend who has not only brought diet coke but yummy-better-than-sex-chocolate-decedent-cake (Thanks Sadiya) - Enjoy the left-overs from your Disaster because you know the dessert always makes up for everything.
