Ever cooked up a dinner at home and loved it? I am not talking about the planned, perfect ones, but the unplanned, imperfectly-perfect ones. Putting the pan over the slow fire the moment you feel hunger tap at your stomach. Still wondering what to cook, while the empty pan slowly browns over the fire... suddenly you miss home and your mom's food.Out of nowhere you chop up this, and cut up that, and before you know it, you can smell the turmeric working it's way through the dal, and the hot oil making singeing love to the onions. The kitchen becomes an euphoria of smells, as the food commences it's foreplay with the active senses. Even the burnt potatoes smell good, because they smell of achievement.
Simple dinners are always the best, and hunger makes the most commonplace dinners immortal! You slowly lose yourself in a plethora of taste, as an impromptu dinner fills your stomach and your heart.

Those meals are probably the best because you'd make those only when you're super hungry and you'd eat just about anything you cook at that time. :) LOL.
Gotta *love* the impromptu meals. Plus I heard that you are a fab cook, so it gets betta.
Memma, I read all you writing. And am impressed by them. I also wrote you a nice article about your mother. But it is writen under the name Moon Aichbhaumik. But don't mistake me for the same Moon Mashi back in Kalyani. I am Memma Malay Dadu's daughter. So please read the article when you can. It is titled In Memmories of Jhuma. That was your mother name. Love, Memma
P.S. I created my own blog and became your folower. But I should have put Memma not as Moon Aichbhaumik. But any way if you get a chance to look at my blog under Moon Aichbhaumik and the name is Thought's and inspiration of Moon Aichbhaumik. Just don't mistake me as the same Moon back in Kalyani. I am nothing like her. I love you very much. So when you find time please look at my blog and see how you like the article I wrote about your mother. Memma
Memma, Aalta I have changed my fowller's name to Memma(Malay Dadu's daughter) So you can recognize me. I took off the name Moon Aichbhaumik. Perhaps that was confusing you to think that I was the other Moon Mashi back in Kalyani. I hope that I have now cleared off the confusion that you might have been having in regards to my name as Moon Aichbhaumik. So I hope that you will have time to go to my blog and read about the article I wrote about your mother. Love, Memma
