    Ha ha that was a wonderful writing. I loved every single detail that you had captured bubbles in water boiling for decoction, milk frothing over and dripping, Spouse tapping 4 fingers on her forehead... oh my the list goes on. You and your spouse are a good team and you have been trained so well to follow all the instructions! Enjoyed reading sir. Thanks for sharing another wonderful (Upma) story!

    :hello:Thanks madam sister from bottom of my heart for your comments which I shall cherish. I may not deserve to be eqated to PADMASRI RKji - the Guide.
    2. Your presence in our kitchen would receive welcome with open arms.
    3. Your comments did my day.
    4. I notice you drop “h” in your name while signing off. Similarly in salutation you dropped “h” from my name. Any special reason?
    5. Elsewhere in this thread I had mentioned some more scenes.
    Regards.
    God Bless

    :hello::hello:My dear madam sister,
    I feel overwhelmed with your wonderful description of your enjoyment of reading the simple episode of making the uppuma with better half. Thanks from bottom of my heart for such a lovely feedback cherishable for long. You might have noticed that I did not mention about adding salt and thestage duringwhich it is being added! I am sure you guessed it right. Uppuma was made for a septuagenarian diabetic and undergone by pass surgery!
    Regards.
    God bless.

    Dear Sri Thyagarajan:

    What a gripping narration of a combined effort by the spouses in preparing Upma and Coffee! If aroma of Upma and filter coffee could be given a grade of A, the narration should be given A+.

    I will not consider that as a disappointment of not being able to feed Sambandhi before the maid could make Dosas. The important part is your combined effort and love for the Sambandhi in providing a delicious tiffin and a cup of coffee. The processes are much more important than the end result. I am glad Sambandhi agreed to taste coffee immediately and Upma with dinner.

    I mean no offense, the Sambandhi gargling with denture in hand made me laugh so much. It made me think Upma may be easier for him to chew than Dosa. :)

    Thyagarajan sir I must be toooo young to be a Sister maybe old enough (or bit older) as your daughter:) I get overwhelmed too in such situations.

    Ha ha no salt Uppuma - Uppu ...ha ha maybe sambanthi guessed that he could get special food from your house and choose to have dosa w/salt. All that effort.... oh my :facepalm:
