The Last Word

Hi satchi,

Laughed out loud on the above It sure is difficult to change tastes especially men who have got used to one style of eating and tastes i.e their mother's original tastes. Even after 35 yrs of married life, i can sense the irritation if and when i experiment with new recipes. I now accept the same goes for my DILs who complain of same thing to me about my sons! anything they try is not as good as Ammas. Ofcourse, i have many times told my sons in private, no girl likes such comparisons repeatedly( ILs relationship columns here) and they are managing!

 

Haha... nice one satchi. My muse is a very pet muse and the mid life crises has not struck on him. He eats what's served to him. The biggest problem is that he has not learned how to iron his clothes even after multiple attempts to teach him. So I end up ironing his clothes by ironing them in piles every 2 to 3 weeks depending on my mood. About cooking, he does make tea for me during the weekends and on weekdays if he gets up before me. I doubt if he ever can put a string in his pyjama, never got the opportunity to see him struggle with that.

I use a bobby hair pin to slip in the string in my underskirts.

 

Satchi!! Pajama strings helped you have your last word eh Long live the strings! You know me and cooking - the daily story is after even after so many years, my cooking is an experiment. That I know but when DH says that it annoys me to no end. I am not able to figure out as to why it annoys me. He claims that he eats to live and not the other way and I assure him when he complains that my food won't kill him - after all he is only eating to live. Quality of food should not matter at all Stomach is the way to a man's heart wouldn't have worked for either of us - he is fussy about food and I cannot cook well. Phew, now that I think about it, I am glad there were other things!

 

Mine qualifies too.... indeed goes so far as to say .... ' I'll let you know if it doesn't taste alright but will not say anything if everything is alright or even good!!!'
As far as my BH curiosity goes... it thought it was 'brahma-hatthi' which is generously used by my dad and loosely translates to dimwit!!

Best

Satchi, it is always good to cook enough sambar to last for four days because the sambar is such a dish that the longer you keep it in the fridge the staste improves as the flavour of the spices intensifies. Talking to the curd? He has my sympathies. I too talk to my fitness equipment. Everytime my wife hears my voice from my gym she wonders with whom I am talking. I tell her it is the treadmill or cycle. As four sour food too I love my sambar with an extra bit of tamarind.Yes the curd has to be sour too,
