I never directly use recipes because they often disallow the introduction of creativity into a meal. Tonight, I found four recipes for raita on the web, and I didn't like any of them, but after reading them, I had an idea of what to do. So, I present to you a fifth raita recipe.

N cups yogurt
N cucumbers, chopped (shredded, if you like) into really tiny bits
N/2 tsp. salt
N/2 tsp. sugar
N tsp. cumin
N tsp. chili powder

1. Mix everything together in a bowl of appropriate dimensions.

2. Let cool in refrigerator for 3 * [ln(N) + 1] hours.

That should do it. :)

Also, I think I like red wine so much because the histamines induce some sort of feel-good allergic reaction. Tonight's selection: McWilliam's Hanwood Estate Shiraz 2004. It's my fail-safe Shiraz because you can order it by the glass and drink it while you wait at the bar for someone to show up at Sambuca in Dallas. It's not the best, and it's a bit dry. It's Australian. It pairs well with a glass of water and good conversation.
