    Well Ladies,

    I cooked up a storm last night and it turned ot fine, fell sound asleep straight after:) It's Friday today, no cooking, we're going to spend a weekend in Central London from tonight so heading to a Kerala Restaurant there that has apparently won a few awards, will let you know if it's any good! Time to get all dressed up....

    Damn I'm hungry as we speak, having my usual morning low fat cereal, yummy:wink:

    Selvi,

    I am with you...when I get to see Chitvish's recipe index, I get into it for long and end up with the confusion of which one to cook. Then I will go and make my usual stuff in a jiffy :evil: .

    Kamla,

    Don't tell me about mood swings. I am known for it since I delivered my kutti. I will keep thinking in the bed about what to cook, but next day morning when I get up and come I will feel like should I cook. Crazy, isn't it? :tongue

    You seem to make varieties - bath, pachadi, poriyal, rasam - all for oru velai? Unbelievable that you manage to do so much inspite of going out to work. If I were you, I would have just got tired with bath and pachadi. It happens only these days - I don't know what made me this lazy, believe me, I used to make varieties for Jey during my initial days here.

    Chitvish,

    I too request you to go ahead with Jiffy cooking thread like others. Definitely after your short break.

    I already have pressure pan, 2 litre cooker and 5 litre cooker. Yenna irundhu yenna, cook panna mood & energy vendumey. (What's the secret of your energy??? - your here refers to Chitvish, Vandhana & Kamla).

    I always end-up getting stuck with my laptop in the couch, as Selvi said, until Kavya gives me a call. She is my "Bossini" now.

    Atlast end-up adjusting with some left overs in the fridge :mrgreen:. Paavam poor Jey & now Appa too!

    So today's adjustments for Lunch for me and Appa...paruppu rasam, suraikai kootu & cauliflower poriyal. Of-course, curd rice with milagai vathal - life savers you see.

    Kavya kutti will have paruppu sadam with mashed potatoes.

    Jey escaped my lunch pack, for he is going off-site today with his colleagues.

    M.

    Dear M,

    " BOOST IS THE SECRET OF MY ENERGY"!! :biggrin2: :mrgreen:
    No but seriously, i think i can understand how you and Selvi and other new moms feel. I too go through this phase of just not knowing what to cook and then not wanting to cook also.

    Anyway, can't keep up with Sathya for allthe lovely yummy thogaiyal and kootu she is making. Today's dinner is TMP Sundal , Murungakai( frozen) sambhar,and rasam.

    Malathy,
    Handling a little one is a full time job. Other things can wait, surely. BTW, I am not working anymore, the short stint is over:( Now my little g'daughter comes to me three days a week. I actually prepare some items in advance so I don't have to do much cooking on those days. So I can imagine your predicament.
    The secret of bath, pachadi, poriyal, rasam - all for oru velai my daughter was here for dinner and she is not hot on rice and rasam. So made the bath to please her. Besides, I had a lunch invite today, so had cooked yesterday in advance for my hubby who is at home! See, everything has an elaborate plan:)
    Today....Nothing. No cooking.
    Happy days ( ok, day) are here again8)

    L, Kamla

    PS: Selvi...it happens to me too...after studying the R Index, I go cook the usual dhal chawal!
    PS: Vandhana....What is TMP, I sure seem to have forgotten or missed. Had a bad experience with my frozen M'kai last time:oops:

    Vandhana & Kamla,

    You both always make me feel good by your responses. When I am full of guilt for not planning and cooking something grand, you both say it happens with all new moms.

    Kamla, I guess TMP sundal is thengai, mangai, pattani sundal. Is it right, Vandhana? Achcho vaai oorudhey for TMP sundal :tongue. Let me take the flight to CA.

    I've started to think for the next velai - what's for dinner today? Original plan was to go out to an Indian restaurant
    nearby, but it's pouring here. I wish someone invites us for dinner too.

    I agree with you Vandhana, Sathya not only makes yummy kootu and thogayal, she makes it more yummy with her kavidhai-yum kalandhu!

    PS: Sathya - alli rajyamo, lilli rajyamo, ingu kavidhai yendral Sathya rajyam dhaan.

    Dear Malathy & Selvi,
    I am absolutely shattered!:oops:
    You both write that going through my recipe index leads you to indecision & you both end up cooking your "usuals" !:bangcomp:
    I wonder, if I am giving one too many !
    So as a mark of protest, I am not posting any new recipes for one full week. It may not be a punishment to you,but is a self-imposed one to me !!
    Happy, ladies?

    Anyway, shall close with today's dinner:
    Keeraithandu Soup
    Broccoli Salad
    Masoor Dhal dosai
    MW tomato Chutney
    Dessert for V;
    Pineapple Halwa.:tongue

    In depression & Sadness,
    Chitvish.

    அன்பு ஸத்யா,

    பட்டாணிக்குக் கால் முளைத்து விட்டது !
    புதுக்கோட்டையிலிருந்து கிளம்பி
    சென்னை வந்து சேர்ந்ததுவே !
    வந்து சேர்ந்தால் விடுவேனா ?
    காலையில் பீஸ் பால்கூட்டு
    இரவில் ஸூப்பின் அவதாரம் !
    நாளை காலை டிபனுக்கே
    பிரெட்-பீஸ்-மஸாலா ஆகிடுமே !
    இரவு பீஸ் பரோட்டாக்கும்
    அழகாய் உருவம் எடுத்திடுமே !

    நன்றி யாருக்கு ?
    பட்டாணிக்கா ?
    தெரியாமல் தேடும் உங்களுக்கா ?
    அல்ல, எனக்கு அதை அனுப்பிய
    உங்கள் புவனேசுவரிக்கும்
    என் தாய் மீனக்ஷிக்கும் !

    அன்புடன்
    சித்ரா.
