Late last night, when I should have been sleeping, I saw a SIGN. Yes, A SIGN. On television.
It was a cooking show, and two chefs were facing off. (Insert dramatic music, and no I'm not kidding.)
Behold the flamboyant Japanese host on the raised platform! (All smiles and looking somewhat like the esteemed Japanese Prime Minister only with black hair.)
He begins talking.. and waving his arms.. The subtitles read approximately (or not even. I can't remember. This was the general meaning though:
"I must choose a FOCUS for this famous cookoff! One ingredient! That will you will have to bring out the TRUE potential of! And.. I have chosen it!" He waves his arms some more.
The camera moves above. There, from the floor of the raised platform, a table is coming forth! It is rising! THE MUSIC IS EVEN MORE DRAMATIC THAN BEFORE WITH DEEP UNDERTONES OF DRAMA! CAN YOU FEEL IT????
A few bowls of other ingredients sit around the table but.. oh, but the crowning glory, the TRUE INGREDIENT sits on a shiny, silver platter. A HUGE silver platter, with so much orange powder heaped on it that it looked a Japanese arm long, and elbow deep.
I gasped. No way! THat's.. that's a ton! No way, I thought!
And then.. he said it.. the flamboyant Japanese host...
DUN DUUUUUUNNN!!
"CURRY POWDER!!"
Surely we must appease the Curry Gods and have some sort of scene with the curry. There could be an Asian Night in the cafeteria or something! (Not the same thing as the show, of course, but SOMETHING.)
