Is this kozhikatta? Flour wrapped coconut and brown sugar goodness?

YES!

Thank you to you and UberMetroMallu for showing me the right way to spell it. I love those. Yum.

Anna:

korketa = There is nothing else like it, so I can't translate it. Hell, I can't even spell it.

Anna,

Really nice 55s — touching and thought-provoking. You’re showing the rest of us how it’s done, huh ?

I did manage to think of one which fits this week’s theme. Dedicated to a certain someone I used to know.

Thank you…..

for personifying the first real sunrise in my life for showing me that “one light in two bodies” can be real for proving the truth of Guru Gobind Singh’s words “Only he who loves can experience God” for the tenderness, passion and laughter for inspiring some of my best 55s on Sepia Mutiny

for the moments of paradise, when so much was said with no words at all for the miracle of true love, transcendent, transforming for the scent of your perfume, lingering on my hair and hands after I left for making me wonder how many lifetimes I had loved you before and will love you again.

Anna - those are great. This is so me:

Since she was a baby, this is how it had been; after dinner, she sat with men, though it was unorthodox to do so.

Sated with side dishes, she settled on the couch, in front of the 52Â” plasma, which was mounted over a rollicking fire. Since she was a baby, this is how it had been; after dinner, she sat with men, though it was unorthodox to do so. They yelled about the NFL, she made a listÂ…

She helped herself to mac-n-cheese, mashed potatoes and asparagus. ThatÂ’s all, vegetarian folks! No matter, it was delicious. Uncertain of where to sit, she made her way to the nook. A 10-year old followed, as did two adult cousins.

She looked around, amused. Â“SoÂ…the single people sit at the kidÂ’s table?Â”

Everyone laughed, some nervously.

She walked through that familiar garage door, into the bustle of the kitchen. She saw her cousin and his newish wife. Hug, hug, air-kiss. He introduced her: Â“These are RÂ’s parentsÂ…thisÂ’s my cousin Anna.Â”

Â“Hmmm. How come we have never met you?Â”

Frozen, I lamely replied, Â“Auntie...I...was at the weddingÂ…Â”

Â“Everyone was,Â” the woman sniffed.

She hadnÂ’t been in Maryland for Thanksgiving in four years; since then, people had married and procreated. She knew what everyone was going to ask and she cringed. Almost 32 years old, newly single and unfortunately laid-off, her answers would only trigger more questions, questions she couldnÂ’t bearÂ…she gritted her teeth behind curving lipsÂ…

Miss A N N A (#6) – thanks

Jai Singh - thanks as well. I’m not sure why or how I left in the first place but it’s good to be back.

Dudes, I love the food-talk but can we get back to the 55s?
