a recipe passed on from my mother’s bhabi and the spirits she hears.<\/p>\n
which i’ve never seen and neither the bear that raised her when she<\/p>\n
was dropped head first into the forrest:\u00a0get a group of virginal orphans<\/p>\n
right before the new moon in the month of 11th, make them drink milk<\/p>\n
of an ox that has been brewed with the final hairs of baby monkeys,<\/p>\n
rubbed in turmeric, and make them recite all 99 and the last secret name<\/p>\n
of God in a full circle, and make no mistakes, nothing can be too ripe,<\/p>\n
and said fast. bring in fish that used to walk the planet before losing<\/p>\n
their feet to fins, and release them onto the saltiest waterfall with<\/p>\n
a survival kit of coconut pomade, indian gooseberry and a half kilo<\/p>\n
of your ancestral gold–or two matronly cows and a bearded goat.<\/p>\n
if you don’t get a spouse within day 40, change your name under a<\/p>\n
morning glory and pray for god to forgive everything you’ve shattered<\/p>\n
or about to do and even your existence and you’re sure<\/p>\n
to find someone that will pick you, and finally you, \u00a0to marry<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
