A morning of horror

It isn’t like, I don’t like taking bath. Nor that I have anything against cleanliness.

But a cold water bath on a cloudy morning in Bangalore ???? And wait, what about all that ‘Go Green’ stuff. I am trying to actually save water here. Is that too much to ask ?

So I cried. Tried hiding under dirty clothes. Stuck myself with bed corner.
Nevertheless it was scheduled time of bath and the lady of the house won’t let me go away without it.




I could have tried giving, 'it-hurts' look, huh. Guess its too complex expression for my face.

Weekend Special

What is the best timepass for the weekend after crushing ur head with tons of software code??


-Sleep till 11 in the morning.
-Go jogging.
-Watch a Movie.
-Go shopping.
No, get inspiration and then,
ladies and gentleman , here introducing the weekend special chef!

Item No:1 "Bhakhari Pizaa" (ભાખરી પિઝા)

Step 1
Prepare chopped tomatoes, capsicum, onion.

Step 2

Prepare bhakhari, a little thicker than normal.

Step 3

Fry the onion+tomatoes+capsicum+sauce(optional) with butter/oil.

Step 4

Spread the fried material on the bhakhari. u can spread cheese and other topping if required.

Step 5

Relish !



Item No:2"Dabeli"
Step1
Get dabeli masala(kuchh fame, available at many places). When u next time goto Gujarat remember this!

Step2
Go for shopping. But 2* packets of pav. (*conditions apply).

Step3

Boil potatoes in cooker. Peel them. Mesh them. Add dabeli masala. Add chilly. Again mesh them. The height of dabeli taste is directly proportional to ur ability of meshing ! If u can mesh it properly, u have won half the war.


Step4

Cut the pav. Put the aloo mixture in between. Now the remaining half battle starts. Put oil/butter on the pan and fry the prepared pav. Don't forget to "push" the pav, that's how it becomes dabeli !! make sure it doesnt get burnt.

Step5

Get ur self sauce(best enjoyed with khajur-amli ki chatney) and enjoy the hot dabeli. Toppings(sev, anaar, onion) will increase the taste.

Precaution: Keep the digestion tablets handy.

And after all this, u will get a more activity to bust the blues, write a blog about ur kitchen adventure!!

Family That Strikes Together

It was the vacation time and we were all together in the afternoon at our family "hinchaka". Dad were giving advise on something and my sister was arguing pointlessly.
Dad got irritated and said at last, "listen, i have seen more diwalis than you."

Sister struk, "Papa, you may have seen more diwalis than me, but i have put on more firecrackers than you!"

poor papa!

==============================

Unlike me, my sis hates plain milk. so when she gets up early in the morning to study her medical epics, mom prepares her a big glass full of milk.
irritated enough, one day my sis said, "Mom, i dont want it. nobody is going to be benefited from that milk."

Mom said, "Bachubhai will get benefited! now drink it all."
Bachubhai is our milk-supplier.

poor my sis!

==============================

it was the saturday afternoon and i prepared the tea, with the tea powder we got from OOTY some times back.
i prepared and got some afternoon snacks and set it all for purvi.
while she was having the first sip, i said "that tea is from OOTY", expecting some good feedback for this once-in-a-week-tea-maker-hubby.

"Oh, its still hot"

poor me!
