Relishing My Own Cooked Recipes
I stay with Mom and brother. Recently Mom is out of town. So while my brother shops groceries, it is my duty to prepare breakfast and cook lunch and dinner.
Since Mom is not available at the moment, I tried out various cooking recipes and experimented on my brother. His approval or not of my cooked food was a kind of certificate for me.
I perfected my wrongs and mistakes and within a month I am cooking tasty recipes like carrot and potato curry, cauliflower curry with potatoes and tomatoes, lady’s finger dish, tomato and cucumber salad and sometimes fried fish, including parathasand rice.
It has been a great experience. I didn’t cook since 2012 and left the responsibility of cooking in my Mom’s hands. But now that I am shouldering it, I am rather enjoying it. These will be beautiful memories to reminisce in future, the brother-sister relationship getting stronger every day.
