Really, even a polite smile? Not a wide-mouthed smile, but a brief contortion of your lower face to acknowledge the eye-gazing? (And then you can go back to doing whatever it is you do on the subway.)

I wish I was that awesome.

Smile politely.

CATS.

ok, so I have a few minutes in front of a computer. Recipe #1: lentil soup like Burt's, but not the same. This is also not typically found in Indian restaurants and not particularly spicy or rich.

This is indeed the best part. The rest, I'm not so surprised by.

I am experiencing exactly the opposite situation. As a former stodgy person, I am sorry. It is something of a difference between coasts, I think.

Skin and head are usually edible. Some Indian stores have fish, and might clean them for you but I know nothing about grilling fish, just frying them.

I am cooking at the moment, but I will get back to you when I've got a little break. They are a bit long, not complicated, just long.

I can give you a few recipes for Indian food, but unless you have access to spices*, it really won't help. I've been cooking for less than a year, so they're probably easy.

Playing with babies is fun! I am at a stage where many of my peers are getting married (although no children...yet), but I know I'm not ready for that. It's okay. I'd rather not rush things for myself.

Anyone have a good recipe for coriander chutney? I have coriander, ginger, garlic, green chillies, and the standard complement of spices. Thanks!

That is a beautiful response. I just try to bore people to death with my paragraphs-long response.

That gif.
