Yesterday was an especially nice and sunny day which enthused me to cook some thing nice…My Everyday menu was:

Vendekkai / Ladysfinger Sambar.

Kovakkai Fry.

Tomato Rasam.

Sweet N Sour Lemon Pickle to go with my curd rice.

Today I was especially enthused to cook my bitter gourd and hence the menu for lunch was

Venthaya Kuzhambu,

Pavakkai Fry and spicy

Manga Curry for curd rice.

It was one of those rare days when I wanted to finish up cooking quickly and spend some time with myself – doing some thing, anything that I enjoy – reading a favourite book, listening to a favourite song, praying, or curling up my toes and looking out at the lake outside….
