Burnt Sambar

When someone with a fairly great track record with making sambar, screws up very badly, you know nothing is going right. Things could probably get worse, though I can't imagine what could be worse! This is a nightmare from hell. A miserable birthday and a week that's ending with a morning that feels like shit is not good. I need to talk to my hanif.
I wish this was not happening.
Whatever happened to being happy?!
