i love khitchdi

for the past week, ive had a fairly steady diet of grilled cheese toasties, yogurt, bland biscuits, rice, and tea. and for the past week, ive not retained much of it. im not exactly sure whats going on, but its obvious that my system is lacking in nutrients, even with the fortified biscuits and probiotic yogurt. i am wary of moshe’s cafĂ©, runny nutella, and close-talkers.
think its also safe to stay away from my beloved round-the-corner grocery, as i suspect their refrigeration system is partly to blame. dear friends have given me some grapefruit seed extract, which is foul, but promised to be a great anti-microbial. so is alcohol, so will someone please be sure to bring a bottle of scotch? maybe it’s the heat? the ‘real-feel’ temps quoted for the next two weeks are well in the 100’s.
because its been a week, and ive also been a little fevered, i have a field trip to bombay hospital later today.
until things get better though, this is the magic food:

khitchdi + kadhi

if this truly is the indian penicillin, i will eat it everyday because it is comforting, delicious, and most importantly, it stays.
