It has been 3 years plus since I started this food blog. As you age you tend to forget your birthdays. This blog is getting into that comfort zone. In these few years of existence the blog has not caused any major upheavals in the home front, but it has definitely has had cause for mild concern from the other adult in the house. The possibility of different delicacies and cuisines making its way on to the table generally kept everything under control.
Then I go off on vacation ofcourse stocking as much as I could in the freezer. When alone stuff from the freezer has a way of vanishing quickly. Then pretty soon DH finds himself in the kitchen by himself and in a few days I receive this comment. I was plesantly surprised and very happy. The primary aim in starting this blog was to record simple, easy ,everyday recipes primarily for someone like DH and I am glad it has helped him tide the few weeks he had to cook for himself. I have also heard from few other readers who have found these everyday recipes useful.
Guessing game
I had asked you to guess the place and flower on this post. The place is indeed Nayakar Mahal in Madurai, Tamil Nadu. Few of you had guessed this correct.
The flower is a cactus flower.
DD enjoyed eating in the banana leaf. According to her food tastes better when eaten on a banana leaf.
Congratulations on completing 3 years ISG, it has been a pleasure knowing you through your blog.
ReplyDeleteThe comment from your DH was very thoughtful.
DH feels the same way about banana leaf and feels very happy to eat on it.
Happy 3rd to DM! Agree with your daughter on food tasting better served on a plantain leaf. How cool (and satisfying for u) that your DH cooked and commented :) Good to see u back,ISG
ReplyDeleteFood truly does taste better when eaten on a banana leaf....I love how the food takes on a special aroma from the leaf.
