Vashti's Recipe for Disaster 

Vashti is always looking for new ways to avoid making her recipe …

100 lbs of deceit
100 lbs of lies
100 lbs of disrespect (to yourself and those around you)
100 lbs of dishonesty (to yourself and those around you)
and
A HELLUVA lot of denial

Place all the ingredients* in a very big bowl (or something big enough to hold all the shit) and stir vigorously. Let sit until it begins to fester. The disaster is ready to be served up. 

* The ingredients can be altered and substitutions can be made as appropriate to your "situation."

Serving size: If you follow the recipe closely, you'll probably have no one to "share" it with. Hopefully, this recipe will give you some foresight, so you won't have to rely on your hindsight being 20/20.

I hope you find this recipe as dis-tasteful as Vashti does (and did). 

Vashti is co-coordinator of Desh Pardesh, a South Asian organization based in Toronto, Canada, exploring art, culture and politics. For more info on the summer 1999 festival, call (416) 340-0485. When Vashti isn't co-coordinating, she also DJs.
