Can you tell who I was thinking of when I prepared the pani for tomorrow’s pani puri night (little hint)?

Well, the cooking really starts tomorrow, but for a while, I was sweating in the kitchen, blending mint and cilantro with jalapenos and spices to create the dipping sauce (pani) for tomorrow’s feast. John will probably post a recipe and a better description of this delicious Indian dish at some later time. Meanwhile, thank you, John, for providing support and advice lovingly over the phone while I was worrying over every detail. Wish you were home!
