It's now a time when probably most of the people in Malta are asleep, or are at least winding down. But this bunch of people does not include me. It's night-time, a time for owls and bats. And I don't like owls and bats very much, but it seems I really am mimicking their lifestyle. Although my guess is that they don't like Minstrels and Mars as much as I do. But still, it makes us part of some mathematical Venn diagram which at least puts me into one sub circle. And I wonder if owls and bats like pancakes. I do, a whole lot. I'm not sure that there is a calorie which I don't like. Oh except for garlic and onions, they will never find their way to my house. They are calorie free and I hate them. Onions make me sick, garlic sends me straight to Mater Dei, both of them would have me dead in a short time. They ruin a good meal. But if all the food in the world came with garlic and onions, I'd be forced to crash diet so much as to ruin Arani Issa's reputation. It's that bad. I love chocolate, but I'd never even want to look at it if it came complete with these two ugly things like garlic and onions. They're ugly, they smell foul, they ruin what would otherwise be really good food. How do greengrocers manage to sell them at all? What marketing strategy do they use? No strategy would work on me, I'd probably turn to cat food, which incidentally smells like heaven. And no I have never tasted it.
So my other half, who has culinary skills as opposed to my non existent ones is making me a pancake downstairs. A pancake, of course without those two ugly things. And it will be good. so why are people so intent on including them? They have no place on my plate, no way. And it's not as if I have gone hungry without the ugly things. It really isn't as if I have suffered some stunted growth, not height-wise, and definitely not width-wise. My height is just fine, and I'll stop at that. So why do people keep including them and always ruining my time at dinner parties? It's almost as if thee two ugly things have something so wonderful that they make the food taste as wonderful. And people are convinced that the food tastes bland without them. Well, it doesn't. I want a fish to taste like a fish, a chicken to taste like a chicken and not like the two ugly things. So here's my prayer to God, please exterminate them from the world, make them extinct and fast. Please.
Off for my pancake.
