Sorry for the long leave of absence. I went to Hyderabad , my elder daughter's house to be with my handsome grandson, Adhrit. Being there for over a month, its not that I was on complete leave....I did some cooking too and will put up those recipes and pictures for all of you . Hyderabad was hot and dry but the heat couldn't deter me from making visits to the kitchen ever so often. Cooked, body cooling recipes as well as the" favourites".
Missed you all a lot. But now, I am back and will return to my daily notes. I'd like to take this opportunity to thank you for being with me n Bangali Ginnir Ranna Banna.Thank you for your support and encouragement. Many of you read regularly and I hope we have become friends by now.
While in Hyderabad, I had the opportunity to taste the local cuisine, biryani, continental as well as chinese.
Visited the local pearl market, both well known large shops and the whole sellers for beautiful pearl sets as well as others.
My grandson made me realize that preparing" Baby food " is a challenging task. All of ten months and he had us dancing on his fingertips. Unlike in India, I hear people outside our country get everything in packages. So, its easy on mothers who live abroad , but my daughter would not have her son have food out of packets, so we cooked different things and our little villan either accepted or outright rejected it. Sometimes, when we felt lazy, we had to camouflage some of the food under a lump of " Butter " and others under some" Cheese slices ", to pass off things that were not Adhrit's favourite....... but the lad is so smart !
Preparing food for adults is far easier I thought.
I made a few new friends and learnt a few hard truths of life. Bad or good.... life goes on, people change for the better or at least we hope they do. Those who don't wish to change, stagnate and make their own life a living hell and then, are left to lead a lonely life. I pity them. They know not what they are loosing.
For me life is about being open to changes and I love to accept people, their food and love to try out new things. Cheers to life !!!
