Shrimp Salad for Suspect X

Women’s Day beckons a different take on Shrimp Salad for Suspect X. Why can’t we just follow a simple recipe from any book? A book that clearly states that some people are allergic to shellfish. Are shrimps in that particular group at all? It’s an insect or so I hear. Biology books have been long discarded. My cupboard has been emptied out several times already.

Children are waiving the white flag of Theory X and Theory Y giving different hypotheses to people. If we have written this clearly, that there is a possibility of allergies, for a large gathering, without any specific guest list- just leave it on the table. Those who like it, will eat it. Those who don’t will not eat it. And yet, there’s some concern about food shortages and wastages.

Shrimp Salad quantity vs quality debate

Measurement quantities are not clear. How much will one person consume and how much will the other person consume? Trawling or trolling is not helping matters further. This is still debatable what kind of shrimps are required here to make this point clear.

Are we being too picky? Are we not being very picky. Why are we not giving any specifications? And if we give specs, and the others don’t follow, is that a sign of deeper respect? I’m looking at my manuscript that doesn’t exist and imagining a universe without any earthing or earthling. Clearly the wires in the brain have been disconnected.

If there’s only 1 or 2 people coming, we are able to check. Up to a few thousands, maybe. Billions! Then the situation is very tricky. We have to do projectile vomiting all over the place. Tokenism is ok in certain cases. So, I leave this as a token of my mark of respect for all those who enjoyed or shared this particular creature.

Shrimp Salad or Ceviche

In fact, if you don’t eat it, its ok. There are others who can have it.

Which is why, we had food allergy tests done for kids who ate almost anything and everything. They checked whether the chemical composition of the body was getting significantly changed through the ingestion of certain kinds of foods.

These markers were tracked over a period of time. Some of them changed significantly while others did not. Now, when the story was narrated- children may have grown up with the preconceived notion or idea about what is good or bad for them.

When they went out and tried something else, they may have found a different way of being.

Flyaway Peter, Flyaway Mary. William Golding was very concerned about Lord of the Flies long ago. I am trying to remember why there’s no particular food item that stands out in my mind with regards to Lord of the Rings.

Shrimp Salad and Lobster Roll?

Someone stole that book from me very long ago. However, we have not sat down to do that accounting ever. Who took which book and why. Now there’s been a lot of stress on me lately to read a few more books which I may have missed earlier.

I felt so tired I forgot to put the laundry up to dry. Got up at an unearthly hour and then put it up. And from that balcony I saw a dazzling spectacular moon up in the sky. Didn’t strike me then that it was a full moon. Checked later- some kids called it Blood Red Moon. Looked a bit Orange to me.

Every day, I am looking at the bookshelf and wondering which one should I pick up next. There’s already a half-finished book lying somewhere else. And yet, I am not reading anything. There are a few half-finished home projects of upcycling/recycling that are pending. I am not doing those either.

Someone told me, get your bloodwork done. Looks like a deficiency of a few vital minerals or vitamins. I took several doses; it may have led to more confusion with self-doctoring. I don’t actually have the ability to do so.

In fact, doctors are not allowed to operate on their own relatives it seems. Something like you can’t be a witness in case someone in your family is being charged with murder.

Shrimp Salad in lieu of Tiger’s Milk

I thought that’s how the story began…. However, we are going to end it now soon. Because of no particular reason- it’s becoming more and more boring. With very little imparted as some wiser folks narrated.

Seeing, doing, trusting, experiencing, reflecting and then some more- takes a lot. We live in “uninteresting times” or so I thought. I may have spoken too much too soon. Or not said enough.

Doesn’t matter now if there’s a pack of shrimps/prawns somewhere and you are not allergic to it- do your own thing with it. I’m just tired of creating something new with a very common and easily available ingredient in many parts of this world.

I have some other ingredients that I wish to add. Again- no particular reason. They are available nearby and they are fresh for now. If I don’t use them up- they might go bad.

Sometimes we do things like this. If nobody is tasting it other than me, myself and I, then how do we know whether it was actually good or bad. We don’t know. But we still got to eat. And sometimes, we surprise ourselves.

Shrimp Salad cannot be divided any further

Would I test it with a child? Maybe not. If I tested it and found that I am allergic to shrimps- does that mean the child will be too? I don’t know.

So, beyond a point, we are trying to figure out the label of “no animal testing” or “not tested on animals”- what does it mean?

We may have tested it on humans before. When we label it as “animal cruelty free“, perhaps we are trying to narrate that these humans were not forced to consume these ingredients.

Let’s say you left it on the table, and someone mistakenly eats it without the proper knowledge or understanding.

Who is to be liable for the medical bills? Do you think a mother seeing her child in that condition will be able to make any kind of rational decisions or choices? You just handle that question later at a more appropriate period.

Here’s my perspective- if it’s an adult, definitely he or she is responsible for the choices. If it’s a child, the guardian is responsible.

If it’s an orphan child, then there is nobody taking ownership. Poisoning this person left alone-adult or child is easier. However, continuous supervision is also not possible in today’s day and times.

Useless Children fighting over Shrimp Salad

When simple egg would have done, why did we go for Shrimp Salad. This is the question nobody is able to answer.

Now we will bring in other elements like injection of doubts through more suggestions.

Is this suitable for breakfast?

Was that meant for lunch?

As a starter for dinner?

Raw foods are not ok for many people.

This kind of risky business is the work of a devious inebriated mind. On top of that- we are planning not to cook the shrimps. Who is checking for the proper deveining of the shrimps?

This is a bigger battle than shucking oysters. Trust me. And you have to cut your nails for that. Really short. Pain points of different orders exist in this universe.

Should you shake or shave your head as well before you embark upon this culinary exercise?

Shared Shrimp Salad Recipe before

We normally do not give so many suggestions. There’s a deep problem in the recruitment of this particular so-called creative cook. However, for the time being we are unable to dismiss her. She has to repay a few loans to the universe.

Have you been in a position where neither your family nor your in-laws accepted you. Instead threw you out to the wolves. It wasn’t a Roman Holiday. And that poster was ironical.

A Ganesha idol was stolen from in front of my door and then two curtains that I gave for ironing.

Let’s try our level best to make women feel unsafe/insecure. Perhaps I should just be thankful I’m still alive. Isn’t that the whole point of making “cringe videos”. Woman, you are such a big burden to this universe- we men are so wonderful to have saved your ass. After raping you, looting you and then paying others hush money- let’s all gloat in the wonder of how we did “teamwork”.

I am beyond mortified to share this again on so called International Women’s Day. I am really ashamed of the women who raised such sons/daughters.

Infinite Shrimp Salads exist for Storytellers

No matter what I did or how much I did- I was still blamed. The joke was on me several times before because people said, I couldn’t negotiate for myself. I’m trying to negotiate a deal with the devil. I was born evil- shouldn’t I remain in hell?

In fact, I added much more fuel to the fire than necessary- which means I am certainly a deserving candidate. Rosemary’s Baby died. And yet, there were people who watched from the sidelines and came to rescue me from time to time. Why?

Such angels need to be gifted something good. Don’t ask me what that is- do your own research. I donated some desserts for Holi– a festival of colours in India to be shared with others. And I got some feedback that it was too thick. I should have added more Milk. I’m not sure whether that was the reason for the backlash of missing curtains.

Daniel comes to Justice- children can’t have this Shrimp Salad

Anyways, I’m a little perplexed about this unusual turn of events. It isn’t about the price/cost of the curtains. Just that they were part of a set.

Parents are trying to share- how painful it is to let go of their children or loved ones. And here I am lamenting the loss of 2 curtains. I think my point was about the loss of trust and vindictive attacks on an innocent here. Leaving it on this table for those who are able to reflect.

Usual way to reframe this is- see you have 4 left out of 6. Do not obsess over the 2 lost.

I return with my metaphorical analogy- it depends on what you have lost. And stealing is not ok. Lying and denying that is not ok.

Footnote

The fight between Sushi & Sashimi

We watched from the sidelines

As Teppanyaki blues took over

Wasn’t our table, wasn’t our rules

And yet somehow, we got the

Empty bags and not the Jules

It’s been a while dear bro

You made countless mistakes

And yet we continued with bland milkshakes

We have given up on fakes

And have taken a bare minimum steps

To remain seated on the bench

Forevermore indebted to those who were fetted

This salad could have been with Feta Cheese

But somebody already finished

The watermelon before we got the news

That nobody was paid their dues.
