Dinner last nite!

Dinners have a way of starting out early in the morning and then lasting till the morning after...at least mine do!

Its not easy to feed and make happy some half a dozen 20 something boys...especially when they are looking forward to a home cooked meal after days away from family! But its also the most satisfying...coz they make it all worth it by lapping it all up...happy me!

Rajma Chawal, masala gobi, egg masala, jeera raita and roti...finished making it all just in time...the rain almost got our dinner cancelled but am glad they made it. so like i said, started preparing in the morning and my returned the favour once i crawled into bed well past midnight by punishing me for spending the entire day and the better half of the nite on them.

Thank God for a darling husband...who woke me up with some hot steaming tea that took away whatever tiredness the sleep could not. 

All in all...happy and yeah...no cooking dinner today, coz the left overs will work just fine...besides, i donno about you but i cant eat when i do all that cooking in a day

More soon!

Phew!! Am back

What a life its been...I came back to this blog of mine today after more than 3 years...and actually a bit surprised it still exists!
Had the urge to write to myself again :-) so the first thing i did was read what i wrote in 2008...whatever it is that I had planned, wanted, asked for came to me...even though I had long forgotten all about it. So full of gratitude...

I have had countless moments of joy with my niece who is now almost 5, a nephew whose 2.5...My darling friend is back in India with both her babies and husband...and life has been nothing short of perfect for me! Hell...I even got married last year...LOL!

I think that's mostly why I chose to rename my blog to "The Second Life"...it does seem like another life...so much is so different between then and now! Hopefully, I wont be taking 3 year breaks between writing my posts like I did then and will be sharing my love for baking, all things food, what its like to be married to your best friend, travel and dogs as often as I can...

Cheers to the beginning of The Second Life!!!!
