Release

This prompt raked up a lot. My brother-in-law (husband’s eldest brother, who has been treated as a demi-God in the family) visited us recently.

Flavors

Sage needs to be added before or during the cooking process to flavour a meat. A person becomes a sage, after life has flavoured his/her thinking process. I don’t know who decided that the flavour matters, not the time of addition or impact. Language hides a lot of humor and pain. It has been created … Continue reading Flavors
