Cooking Mania!!

Of late, Iam more content being full time house-wife. From second week of August iam at home, not that i have bid adieu to my office, but due to unexpected holidays for my son and other commitments. Soon should work out my time to go to office. Its both advantage and dis-advantage having your own business which is predominantly taken care by dear aathukkarar. One of the main advantage is the attendance. Yippee.. Iam enjoying this phase especially.

Mornings from 6.00-9.30 - fast paced life as my kid usually refers to me as the "super-fast machine". After that the machine slows down. And picks up again at 2.30 P.m.

Meantime, iam browsing for the recipes and experimenting with them. Since my kid refuses to acknowledge any vegetable other than potato iam into research mode in finding new ways of adding the veggies to his diet. One thing i have found of late is that he likes kurma ( that too after having tasted it once in Ginger, pondicherry while on the trip) , so it has made my job easy.
So, i have started adding the veggies to it and another method is to make the soup which he would take in any form if it is garnished with bread.
My next headache is with the fruits, somehow i force him to have it in the milk shake format. But, he refuses to eat raw ones. The very sight of the fruits and the smell especially drives him 100m apart. Any one please suggest... I have tried begging, thrashings , forcing and even bribery, but nothing works....

Coming to my experimentation, today iam going to try a new recipe with soya chunks . Since, my aathukkarar is on strict diet ( pls dont say "wow" - this is his nth time) to reduce his cholesterol and BP, (he is jus 30) he is also trying out new diet regimes. One of the new discovery is BLUEBERRY . He got this idea from google search. The name always strikes chord with DORA for me - remember "Blueberry malai" .

Today my menu is mullangi sambar, thakkali rasam, kothavaranga paruppu usili, and new recipe involving soya.
