but I think I’ve finally managed to eat enough in one sitting that surely my heart will stop within the hour. 

I popped into the Indian Bakery that makes everything but the faded Multi tier fake wedding cake in it’s front window on the way home to have a nice plate of Goat Korma (this place is my only Flavor salvation in town…they have more than 2 spice shakers in the kitchen). 

While waiting for my food the owner made the customary “I’m brown, your brown there are 3 of us in this town yet I don’t know you” conversation with me. When he found out I was from NYC and then Queens he shouted “Jackson Heights” at me (he lived there for years before meeting his wife and moving here and I spent alot time there growing up) and we are now BFF. We discussed things such as buying mangoes by the case at Patel Bros. being the best deal in the world and the amazingness of the Arepa Lady. 

So I am currently full of Goat, Rice, Naan, Chai and multiple dessert/candy type items containing Jaggery which is the actual recipe for Diabetes. I have also been given the green light to request a “large” chai from now on which they technically don’t sell but I will be able to Brown Light Special.
