wwcitizenThis morning, one of my work buddies surprised me with a container of a homemade Asian subcontinent concoction that his mom and wife. It smelled heavenly. The scents were clove, curry (which I know ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
sparkygearhead would appreciate a lot), chicken broth, a little tumeric (?) maybe, peppercorns, and other stuff. My buddy is originally from Pakistan; his mother was here over the summer and made a whole bunch of the base flavoring for this dish. Yesterday he had some from home for his lunch. I had to comment on it because it smelled so rich and tasty; I was jealous.
But today, he brought me my own bowl! While savoring each bite, I discovered thumb-sized chunks of the most tender, scrumptuous chicken that had picked up all the flavors of the rice. It was hard to enter into my diet tracking, but it was soooo worth it.
After I finished the substantially portioned morsel of heaven, I gazed into the empty bowl with a boo-boo lip and a "no more?", "all gone?" whimper. I wanted to lick that bowl dry, but I washed it instead.
What a treat!
PS On the flip side, I was also excited about the hummus in the cafeteria this morning - I've never had a bad batch of it here, until today. So, doubly happy that I had something astronomically delicious to fill in that gap and this belly...
