Ratatouille... maybe it is time to think a little seriously :P
So work today went on for the rest of the day pretty uneventful... well actually, I got feedback on the proposal I sent and we'll be meeting the dudes next week and lets see if I can do something :)
Well... the news of the day is that it rained like mad again. Imagine... sunny morning and it rains for about 3 hours this evening. From like 3 to 6:30 or so. Ofcourse the roads were more like lakes and we had to wade through the waters to get out of the office! Almost 2 feet of water... or maybe a foot and a half in most places. Good rains! I hope this gets enough in the reservoirs to sail us through the next year. Anyhow.. got home kinda early at 7 and made me some amazing rava upmaav. unfortunately I didnt enjoy it as much cos the damn dvds I tried to watch were not working. So I finished dinner and figured I'd watch a nice cartoon and ratatouille was right there!
It's not a secret that I love cooking... and love ffod even more! My tummy would provide sufficient proof of that :P And I think maybe I should have the plans of a joint somewhere in the future. For some odd reason, I wont put the details of it online.. you know privacy and piracy. But the plans are grand and I think an all veggie place would be nice. Just cos I'm a veggie and I think my mom will butcher me if I even thought about making and serving meat. lol.... well I guess also cos I dont know too much about it and since I cant taste the stuff, I doubt I can do it much justice. With the veggies, I'm pretty sure I can blow ur mind! So veggie place... maybe a small one to start off with. A swank place with some nice ambient music. Like a lot of people say that wines are paired with food, I'd like to think that there is a nice connection between music and food. for example, with a burger, you wouldnt want something mellow like kings of convenience (yes harini, that's what I'm listening to :)))). Some good classic rock like purple or queen would be nice. And maybe some very nice carnatic music with some traditional dosa, idly, idiyaapam and upma. Maybe kings of convenience with a meal of some mild food like kashmiri pulao and navratan kurma. Mild music for a mild taste.... probably koothu music for kotthu parota and the greasy local favorites. hmm... italian with something like classic concerto stuff. There's just some magic to enjoying a nice portobello mushroom ravioli in an alfredo sauce and a classical violin duo (Ask kart and shuba... they'll tell u.. hehe).... ooh... or a tomato bisque with some swiss chesse accompanied by some nice light music.. I cant seem to put my finger on it, but I can hear it. You get the point tho... Every dish comes alive with the right ambience.... which is what I will achieve!
With every time that I think about this seriously, I end up adding a few zeroes to end of my budget! Man, at this rate, I'll only be a chef when I'm 60! Maybe it wont be so bad... I want to do this perfect and if that's how long it takes, so be it! To the rest of you who want the specifics of my plans, hit me up :P I'm such a food junkie that I cant think of much else hehe.
Well, the night's just started but I'm gonna ned it by going to bed early... well earlier than I usually do... with a vision of the perfect dish, accompanied by the perfect drink in the kind of ambience that makes you lose yourself! If I havent freaked you out yet, I guess you are immune to my nonsense by now :) Good night and I will see ya tomorrow!
