The streets are quiet as I slide slowly through the decaying, cold blocks in my rumbling white beast of flame and fury. The cold penetrates through the glass of my windows like the feathery touches of a fading ghost. An occasional hood, so huge it appears empty, shuffles down the sidewalk on a pair of trousers flapping lazily in the chilly breeze.
Spring is not here yet. Oh, but you already knew that. I’m spending the evening enjoying the warm smells of multi-bean soup, the gentle riffs of Isaac Shepard’s Deep Joy, and the happy fuzzies of studying a few too many numbers after a long day of accomplishment.
Tonight’s recipe-of-the-moment consists of bean medley soaked for 20+ hours (oopsie), onion, garlic, carrot, cayenne, garam masala, with more spices to-be-announced.
