Happy cheirouba to all of you. We would be celebrating at night as my husband is at work. No fancy menu – just ooti thongba, gobi and papad on the side. Hope you all had a more elaborate spread.

..and have been cooking up a storm. If you ask me, where are the recipes, i have to say ‘wait’. Because i am getting myself all tied up in a knot searching for a new place as we would be shifting to another town because of a job offer i have got. And the thought of having to get up and go to work after a long maternity leave of eight months is making all my lazy bones go into shock.

And praise be the lord, says my husband because i have conquered my dislike for noodles and the like. So my recent cooking activities involve Chinese and Italian. Plus, my baking madness has given way to ‘roasting’ madness and any edible creature (dead, mind you) crossing my path ends up in the oven with vegetables for company.

Leaving you with some pictures of my latest mischief in the kitchen. Too lazy to post the recipes but i will..one of these days….
