The kitchen is closed!

An Indian kitchen consists of a small two burner propane stove and a couple of pans. Our wonderful cook Bavani, about the size of a gnome, whipped up 5 star Indian cuisine for us every evening. Her English was only slightly better than my Tamil, but we managed some great conversations while cooking the evening meal. She tolerated my hovering and pointing and laughed a little too loudly at my attempt to roll out Paratha (mine looked like an amoeba)! My final memories of Bavani are of her shouting very clearly, "THE KITCHEN IS CLOSED!" which I apparently said more than once to intruders who didn't understand rules of a cook's kitchen.
My roomie Elena was a kitchen whiz in her own right! Pancakes and French toast in an Indian kitchen were no gimme...and never tasted better! Note: cinnamon bark...tastes like bark first, cinnamon second! Note: Domino's Pizza does indeed deliver :-)
