Sticks and Stars

Is there such a thing as a curry tooth? A garam masala tooth? Because I think I have one. I have been craving Indian food like you wouldn’t believe. Every day I am so happy to go to work because I know I can go to a nearby Indian restaurant for lunch and every day after lunch I think, “Ahh, finally I am sated!” but then an hour later I’m trying to scheme what I’d feed my kids if I stopped at an Indian place near my house to pick up dinner (sadly, my boys don’t do spicy…yet). I don’t know that I’ve ever craved something so intensely in my life. And really, to say that I crave it is to put it mildly. I think about it all the time, I yearn for it. I do not know what is up with me.

I have eaten curry every day for a week and I see no end in sight. In fact, I feel deprived, like I’m not getting nearly enough. Thankfully my lunchtime place has a $4 special that includes rice, an ever changing variety of veggie curries, a piece of naan (that is really just a tortilla) and a drink, so at least I’m not killing my budget too badly.

I think that this weekend I might forgo my weekly soup (that has been forgone for a few weeks now) and make chicken saag and aloo matar and some yummy, yummy samosas and then plan to take that for lunch for the whole week. If I don’t eat it all by Sunday, that is. And really, if I have it in my house, I’m pretty sure I will eat it for breakfast, lunch and dinner until it’s gone.
