For those of you who
have read my earlier post on "My experiments with cooking" will be
surprised to hear that I have been making inroads with my cooking.
For the past almost
three months I have actually been cooking or at least experimenting with
cooking. I don't do too much other than make lunch for Gowtham and me to take
to office. Of course the occasional laziness does set in and we scrape by.
My cooking skills
were put to test just two weeks ago when his parents had other agendas and left
the house to just the two of us. Within no time, we made plans and that too
huge plans. Without another thought in mind, we made a few calls and were set…
We were having dinner at home and had invited a few friends over.
One Monday evening,
we sat and decided on the menu and went out to buy the required ingredients. As
Tuesday evening came forth, I began to
panic, "What had I gotten myself into!!!" My panic spread and within
no time both of us were taking turns in panicking and comforting and reassuring
the other not to panic. After a bout of panic, we sat down and listed whatever
needed to be done and sat down to cut the vegetables required for the 'big
event'.
On Wednesday
morning, instead of cooking for office, I made the preparations for the evening
and decided to give cooking for lunch a skip.
We rushed home that
day and were in by 4.45 pm. By 5.00 I began the marathon with Gowtham cheering
me from the sides and also stepping in between to relieve me of my duties or to
give me a break. So focused were we on finishing it all in time that we were
done, ready and all set for everything in less than two hours.
So there we were,
with two big bowls of Tomato Rice, Raita, some Munchy Friames, and a casserole
of White Sauce Pasta. We then decided to order a plate of chicken gravy to
satisfy those of carnivorous appetites.
The meal went well
and the food, even though, it is only me putting it down here, was liked by
everyone. The fault being only that in my haste to ensure that the food lasts
for everyone, I ended up making double of what was actually required and we
ended up eating the same things two day in a row.
