Whats on the menu today brother

What is there to do today, it is an older version of an event that happened some years back, there was this person who was a writer and very good one at that, he would write short stories and send them to the publisher, who would then vet the content and decide whether to go ahead with the publishing and if the answer was yes, would go ahead and give advances to the author.  The author by himself was a self sustaining person and a gentleman with remarkable aplomb, he would modify his preferences according to the need of the day, for instance yesterday, when he walked into a restaurant he want he wanted some fish fry and rice, looked around and saw a steaming pomfret curry being served to a family of 6 sitting on an adjacent table, who looked very much at ease with the whole situation.  Now he liked pomfret curry but he liked it fried and with a salsa dip with the fish body peppered with lemon juice.

It was just a matter of that one look at the family that changed his mind, quickly picked up his luggage, consisted of a diary,a book and a pen and walked to the nearest Cafe Coffee Day for a cuppa and a chicken tikka sandwich.  Funny how we are told to believe that an empty stomach is a devils workshop, works pretty much similar to the adage that there is a hole in my stomach so I must keep eating, actually quite to the contrary a recipe a day keeps the devil away.  A good recipe can make your day, it takes time and patience to come up with one that satisfies the taste buds of the majority , but then we aren't looking to please, we are in the business of finding out what keeps our souls moving, be it good food or good thoughts.
We never are alone, its just that maybe some of us are meant to be alone.
