Hola...
The first week of September is almost getting over and gently we can see and feel the glimpse of autumn. This morning it was mildly cold but started to heat up once the sun showed up. If anyone has gone through any of my previous posts, you will know that this is time when Bengalis gear up to welcome their esteemed Maa Durga. Its been years away from my native place yet the excitability and sensitivity towards this festival is so strong that only the heart can fathom because words miss the boat.
The morning rush was less this morning due to the easiness of the nature of the lunch. There was less preparation hence got a couple of extra minutes to have a quick breakfast which is sometimes the last thing of the morning. I met a couple of other moms at the bus stop who were also discussing about weather and autumn and the grievous winters. I deliberately asked two of my friends to join me over a cup of tea or coffee to elucidate a bit more about their autumn plans. They happily came and we had a nice discussion about different activities our kids are doing or the ambit of something more.
Now the food part. Since the last weekend was a long weekend i made gulabjamuns and dahivada. For those who are unaware of these gulabjamuns are made from milk solids, kneaded and made ball size, fried and dipped into a sugar syrup. Well, its yum if served mildly warm. Dahivada is a bit of uphill battle and needs a few steps to be followed. ( if someone is interested i can share the recipe). I had a fair share of both the items and served them. The convivial was evident on their faces. As all (mostly) women ask the recipe and procedure they did too, i couldn't be happier.
As i said lunch was easy peasy today it was my S favorite pasta. Even though he would adopt and promote store made pasta over mine yet an extra help of cheese makes him cheesier and he happily obliges. I just boiled, drained and a pan added some oil white onions, added the boiled pasta along with the sauce. Ah don't forget the cheese.Well i win the day....
So lunch was Pasta marinara sauce and loads grated mozzarella cheese and snack box carried apples, strawberries and a small pack of yogurt.
Catch you tomorrow
