[Vision2020] Mark, Chas and Dan, of Xtains

[Sunil Ramalingam]

I'll ask my mom.  She'll tell me, "Some eggs and brandy and chopped fruit, 
put it in the oven at X degrees."  She can be imprecise; when giving me one 
of her Indian recipes, she'll invariably say, "...and then some 
ginger-garlic," which she always says as one word.  That's what the lovely 
Anne-Marie now calls it, 'ginger-garlic.'  My mom won't tell you how much, 
you just have to figure out what seems right.  Same with 'some onions.'

But if I actually get any, I'll try to remember to trot across the street 
with a slice.
