A day when nothing was so special at the start and everythin seemed to be special at the end.
Got off the bed at a time when demons would take their breakfast 12.00 PM. Finished off all the day's calls and then wrote a blog on my journey from Chennai-San Antonio.
Did some orkutting stuff and got stuck on a phone hunt. But my phone hunt went in vain. Thanks to my always unstable mind!!! Convinced that I shall go for a post paid connection. Hmmm...
As already planned, went to Walmart for purchase. I don't know what struck my roomie, that suddenly he started to move towards the opposite end.
I said, 'Hey Walmart is this way man"
He said, "I need fish" I was awestruck.
I replied, "Where will you get fish here? On the road. Come on Lets go to Walmart and pick the fish there"
He then said,"H-E-B has fresh fish".
Now I got to know why he went the other side. H-E-B was on there.
We went inside after almost getting hit by a car . Thank god there was no damage. A cute looking lady welcomed and guided us to the fish market. And to my wonder, I saw fresh fishes. The guy browsed us thru the variety and we just had one question.
"Which is the fresh piece"
He showed some Tilapia fillets and we got half a pound of it thinking that would be less for us.. But that was not to be!!
Walmart after that. We had a list and started filling our cart with the listed items. We were done in another one hour and came back home.
We had a hard time taking those bags to our home from the stop (it was less than half-a-mile). That was because the bags had contents that are to be used in the next two weeks. Thanks a lot to a lady who offered help in carrying those bags. Even Otherwise we would have managed to carry those bags to our apartment, but we would fallen flat on our bed, straight after that.
Settled the things in the refri. All this time the fish was waiting there to be cooked.
Took the fish out and cut it with the mutton cutting knife. Meanwhile my roomie prepared the seasoning. And this one is for the novice cooks. Seasoning should have 2 tsp of chilli powder, 2tsp of pepper powder, 2 tsp of salt, a little bit of turmeric powder.
We then dressed the cut pieces with the seasoning. Fried them. And wah, the first piece I tasted was really great!! No words to explain. And to add to that fish fry, Rasam was prepared. Hot Fish and Hot and Spicy rasam. Laajawab Combo!!
We sat for the dinner thinking we should finish the fish in no time. But the hot rasam just prevented us from having the entire of the fish. Moreover the joy of preparing a good fish fry had already filled our stomach. Finally we had to put some in the refri for the next day.
I feel that'swhy there is a proverb, A good cook is a bad eater!!!
