Indie Cookout

There is not doubt that I am a avid fan of delicious food. Some people make their own cars and drive them, some make their own bats to play with, I make my own food and eat it. No kidding, it is a BIG hobby, considering I am in business school and it takes a fair amount of time to make a good meal. You get the idea, I am a good cook and I love to eat.

I had a few friends over for drinks and a fat Indian meal the other day. I had been dying to do this for ages, not because it gave me the incentive to clean the place, but I wanted my friends to try some traditional Indian food. Remember, food is what all homosapiens need, and it is an easy way to connect.

On the menu were Kashmiri Chicken, Keema, Nan (tandoori and garlic), rice and alcohol. The food turned out to be pretty good with good Danielle helping me cook and bad Brad helping me drink. The gathering was fun, Tim was at his funny best, Graham had his stories, Matt was happy he came, John looked relaxed and I looked cooked. The spices were perfect, the meats well done, the beer was chilled and the wine was red. I had a great time and will do this again soon. It can get boring to cook just for yourself all the time. Some company makes the effort worthwhile and brings the best out of a cook's potential. It is like cooking, need the right spices in the right quantities.
