sho.......

Ché Comel or better known as Tek Tomel is the cutest stray in the household. Hence, the name. She loves outdoor activities and we often find her greeting us at the top of her lungs. Often by the master bedroom windows.

Sometimes I don't get to talk to her in days as our 'schedule' clashes. One night she came back as I was about to go to sleep and I took the opportunity to talk to her, telling her in a baby-ish voice that she has grown so big that she resembles a lioness. As I was saying "you're sho big girl, you're sho big!" while patting her head, I heard a mimic of what I had said. Only to find that it was Din saying it to me while patting my hair.
Yes, it's true.... even The Lion King is no match for my big hair.

Sho, tomoyyow I am having a hair cut that is shooooooooo overdue.... Thanks Din, for the reminder.... Tsk!

what to cook for ifthar?

When I saw the green can of ghee oil, I remembered the recipe that Seela Devi had patiently tutored me last year. It's called Chicken Varuval. I was excited to try the recipe that I had bought the ingredients almost immediately.

So, today I had decided to try the recipe before the ingredients expire. The first thing I did was fry the cashew nuts that I was supposed to pound into a paste with some poppy seeds. The nuts were changing colour fast and I already had doubts. Nevertheless, I was optimistic. I pounded the not so crunchy nuts with the poppy seeds. Opened up the ghee, fried the initial ingredients. The aroma of ghee against the star anise, cloves, cumin, cinnamon sticks were mesmerizing.... Then I added the chicken, the turmeric powder, the chili powder and the paste as I had written in my recipe book. Unnoticed, Trey the stray persian had eaten half of the unused ghee. Pressure mounted when the clock showed 640pm. Din had to come back during my making of the Chicken Varuval. Din's face changed as my Chicken Varuval blackened. "THIS IS HOW CHICKEN VARUVAL SUPPOSED TO LOOK LIKE" I lied true my teeth in a very high pitched voice.

Well, I don't think Chicken Varuval was supposed to look like it did. It did taste "blackened" if you concentrate enough. Fortunately we did finish up the chicken with the help of my many cats.

The verdict : I am gonna call Seela Devi tomorrow, pretty damn quick!

Plain White T's - You and me

You and me, we like the same kind of music
That's why we, make a good you and me
We got style, baby we know how to use it
That's why we, make a good you and me
You know what I'm going to say before my mouth even makes a sound
And that's why we make a good you and me
You and me, we couldn't stand being normal
That's why we, make a good you and me
We both laugh, at the most random situations
That's the key, baby don't you agree?
You know what I'm going to say before my mouth even makes a sound
And that's why we make a good you and me
I know from the sound of your breathing exactly what you are feeling
This is why we make a good you and me
Make a good you and me
Make a good you and me
You and me
Ah ah ah
You and me, all we need is each other
That's why we, make a good you and me
You know what I'm going to say before my mouth even makes a sound
And that's why we make a good you and me
I know from the sound of your breathing exactly what you are feeling
This is why we make a good you and me
Make a good you and me
Make a good you and me
You and me

THERE ARE SO MANY YOUs IN MY LIFE... AND THIS SONG IS SPECIALLY DEDICATED TO THE YOUs... you know who you are, right crazy people???
