goods n bads of the week


I did it!!! Chilly chicken and Green chilly chicken curry....
I made that all pretty good.
And a variety one, an experiment... Ladies and gentlemen, Presenting before you,
"Bread Oothappam"
That was a heavy snack I must say.

This week had some strange moments also for me...
I went to Cochin on Thursday. One Mr.Clean misbehaved to me in the bus. I slapped him...

Woman is insecure everywhere in India, where she has been given a very special position in her home and the society since the period of epics. But see what is happening... According to my knowledge majority of the ladies face this kind of problems.

During this week, I encountered with a confusing moment also. The trust I had for a very long time has been lost... The comfort in a friendship is lost because of some strange expressions...

And now that I am leaving from home after break...
Amma feels bad that I wont be there with tea and my experiments when she comes after work. Even I feel worse this time since I stayed for nearly a month this time.

I am gonna miss my home like anything. Fights with my brother and gardening with my appa. But I have to go to fulfill the dreams we weaved together

My experiments in cooking

I never had a passion of cooking and all. There was no need of me to cook at home unless my mom is not there. And always I get concession since I have been staying in hostels and comes home for a break alone.
But this time I wanted to do something other than the usual items to surprise my family.

Thus started my cooking experiments.
Every evenings I have something special for them.

'Idiyappam surprise' was the first special item (with the idiyappam that my mom made in the morning). Everyone thought I made a fried rice so soon.. Yummy it was... Promise

Then Bajji's, onion, brinjal and banana.

And a great samosa. But since I am not an expert in folding it like a cone (the usual shape samosa has), I fold it straight like 'Ada' and fried. Something wrong with the dough I made, guess a little more watery it was.

I made a Ripe plantain fry. My father laughed at it first(usually ripe bananas are used for this), but it was tasty (Thank God!).
Hurray!!!

And then a Cocoa-Bread Pudding. It was good but... sweet was a little lesser :-(
IDEA!!!
I served it with Ice-cream :-) Pudding became sweeter...

Now, every evening my father asks me, what you prepared? I feel so proud.
I am happy when my mom eats what I cooked after she comes from her work.
