Vegetable Cutlet

I sometimes wonder where the time went by when I see/hear Jordan. He is growing up fast and I wish I could just stop time from flying away. I hardly have any time for myself after having taken him to the park or library or other activities and the household chores. So I had been missing from the blogging world for a while now, untill last week and I loved the break. I hope to update it frequently everytime I return from a break, but I fail. Lazy me, I say. Anyways, this time I hope to update frequently.

Myself and Big J used to speak in english, when we wanted to talk something that we didn't want Lil J to hear. Now the stage has come that Lil J has started to pick up on english(overhearing our conversation and grasping it). So if you come visit us, you will see both of us spelling the words out so that Jordan can't get it. I don't see those days far when he will pick the spellings as well.

Achinga payar pattichu ularthiyathu / Long beans stir Fry (Kerala style)

The other day when I called home, my father said he did a round of cooking and said a list of things he made which included Achinga payar pattichu ularthiyathu.  My mom had been away for a couple of days and he was waiting for her return. And since the stocked up food in the fridge got over, he cooked up few curries. Oh, do not underestimate my father's cooking skills. Some of the curries that he cooks are delicious than what mummy makes :).

When I was in 10th standard, everyone kept telling the matra that 10th results decide our future. All scared of wasting any minute, I sacrificed my trip to Kerala to attend my uncle's wedding. So my mom went to Kerala to attend the wedding and I ended up staying with my father. Thats when I realized my father can cook. When mom was back she started enquiring about the food quality, I said "Papa makes awesome Aloo Bhajiya. Can you learn it from Papa and make it ?" Mom was all disappointed as she didn't see that coming. Instead, she might have expected me of giving a bad review and making fun of Papa's cooking :).
