| Bajra Roti |
A visit to the Salon ( Beauty parlour ) is so revitalising...both literally ( hair color takes 10 years off your age that you both look and feel younger ) and mentally ( it does relax you, a great de-stresser )....so my visit yesterday in the afternoon and all that buffing and polishing and pampering was very effective, it recharged me ....and got me going thru the list of things I had planned for this weekend...( currently I am half way thru, I think )...
Lots of baking - plan to carry some muffins to a cousin's place tomorrow ( for after dinner desert ), some cookies at my parent's place for visiting relatives, my biscotti ( baked a couple of days back ) at home, and some brownies for nephew and niece who will also be visiting...phew !!!
You would think with all of that going on, I would take a break and relax, but as the saying goes 'there is no rest for the weary'...though I wonder what does that mean ?!? ....why not ? guess if they are as crazy as me...it explains all...
I think what keeps me going is the pleasure I get when it turns out great and everyone enjoys what I have prepared...all the aches and pains vanishes...
Nyways so after all the above baking...(i.e at the halfway point of my list)...got sidetracked with lunch .... in mood for something different from our regular roti, went in for a more elaborate affair...bajra roti, and along with that a mixed dal (udad, tuvar, moong), baigan ka subzi ( brinjal vegetable ), and grated jaggery, chaas ( buttermilk ), mmmmhhhh....
That meal so hit the spot - pleasure in food ( preparing and eating ) also is a good revitaliser...the rotis were just so, chaas amazing ( courtesy T ), dal, subzi, jaggery the perfect additions ....only problem...after that substantial meal - had to go in for an afternoon siesta...so after all there is rest for the weary :-)....and list is still pending....
