I Think I’ll Pass

SweatyMan3His face sparkled with summer’s sweat as he leaned over the buffet. Reaching for another serving of the delectable strawberry and sour cream gelatin mold, droplets fell from his face, landing upon the quivering dessert.

  14. You know, there’s a myth that talks about how Indian streetfood is solely delicious because of the blood, sweat and tears of the vendors.
