Kya Khaaya, Kya Paaya : Meal Disasters

I always believed : To cook a disastrous meal, one has to work too hard. I proved it yesterday. ;) I am otherwise a good cook and people swear by the food I cook and my recipes, but last nite I crossed all limits of cooking a disaster...lol I cooked Hard wheat -Pasta with a sauce made of onions,tomatoes,coriander and garlic. Damn! it was terrible. My bad-luck, I was so hungry after the walk that I had to eat something and I avoid carbs after 8:30 at nite so I had to finish this experiment up in good time. Rabba! I am never going to try this thing out ever...hahaha... I had tears in my eyes, it was so terrible. Last time a dish drove me to tears was when I was in California, I bought Thai Noodles from an Asian Market and it had a special sauce it had to be cooked with, some sesame and peanuts sauce. Oh! shit... It was the most terrible thing I have ever tasted, my suite smelt of the sauce even when I threw it all in the closed dustbin in the kitchen. It was so bitter and it smelt so bad that I rushed for my nasal spray so I could catch up on some breath. lol... it was funny. I slept empty-stomach with the smell of the sauce lingering for long. Yucks!! This reminds me of one more incident, I never knew I was allergic to asparagus, I mean the sight of it or the taste of it. My office in CA served only one thing that was veg in lunch, a mushroom-asparagus sandwich. I wished I never ordered it after indulging in one. It was so bad that I never dared to eat lunch in office ever. If this was not enough, one day while I was using the office microwave to heat-up my lunch, it came out of it with a smell of fish and crabs. Donno wat. I turned to my right-side and a Chinese guy smiled at me. I am sure he saw me making those faces, he said in a very fast lingo,"Oh! it was my friend's beef sandwich". "Okay! enuff is enuff", I thought. We in India, pray cows and beef is a big NO for us. I have nothing against people who love it but being a veggie it was difficult for me to cope up with that smell and it was entirely my fault that I ignored the fact that I am not the only one using that microwave. I did not eat that day and survived on my favourite Latte. So, I have had my share of food disasters and now, when I think about them... I do nothing but laugh...haha... I am sure you are thinking about yours too, right now. ;) Pics : http://www.cartoonstock.com/newscartoons/cartoonists/pju/lowres/pjun216l.jpg
