food for thought

“ Kalyana Samayal Saadham
kaigarigalum Pramaadham!
Indha Gourava Prasadham
Idhuve enakku podhum
Ha ha ha ha ha ha haa…”

It is simply great to eat! Yes… that too in a marriage! Such varieties that you get! Man… someone was totally right when they said the best way to reach a man’s… or rather, a woman’s heart is through the stomach.

I love to eat tasty food.Well, who doesn’t? And though the world’s best food is still cooked in my grand mother’s pots and pans, I do love kalyana saapadu.

It’s a pleasure to even look at the menu- paal payasam, paruppu chaadam, urlakazhangu, koottu, applam, pappadam, chips, yummy rasam and sambhar, vadai, fruit pachchadi, beans poriyal and jangree!

Iespecially like to mix the rasam and sambhar in a unique proportion to obtain that delicious concoction, which can never be prepared at home; even if the same measurements are used. One-as it can be prepared only from the kalyana rasa-sambhar. Two- my mom wont hear of it!!!

Evenings- sample the north Indian specialities- biriyani, poori,roti, channa, rasmalai,rasagulla, badam kheer, gulab jamun, bisibelabath( ok not N.I special!), Cauliflower Manchurian, etc! And digest it with a paan.
Er: I don’t eat the paan. I shamelessly eat the inner stuffing and throw off the vethalai!

Yumm… I could go on and on… And tho I just had my milk, strangely, my stomach seems to grumble! This is what I call ‘food for thought’- the more you talk about it, the more you need food, for thought! :D
