For the past almost two years Kid#1 has been one foot in Philllipines and one foot in home sweet home. To me who has not been out of town for years on end it sounds exciting.
To him who hates Phillipino food, it sucks bigg time. Apparently they add sugar to all the food. Every thing tastes sweet, which is a big no no for a true blood Punjabi vampire
Okay – lets ammend that to True Blood Punjabi Carnivore
I almost said “I love you Sookie!” in a gravelly vampire tone, OMG I love that series
So we have one hyper Kid#1 in the home, who wants to eat
1. Aloo Meat
2. Poshto
3. Baghare Baingan
4. Aloo Matar Vadi
5. Atta Halwa
6. Poori Halwa
7. Biriyani
and other things made with love by Mom. Standard refrain being “But I am going away Ma!” It is completely immaterial that the trip will hardly last three months!
I am flattered! I love the fact that my kid misses some stuff that I cook.
What escapes me is that Kid#2 has stopped going to college for the past couple of days “Because Bhai is going away Ma!”
Now that is what I call Chance Pey Dance Marna!
Editor’s note :
Since readers are wanting an update on what DIL is up to ….
Well, DIL is the first one to demand her choice of food … from both her Ma and her MIL, she makes hay – bigg time
As for cooking !
She set rice to cook in the rice cooker last night!
We got some characterless ricey melange today morning – it was not a particularly happy choice for breakfast – we all passed it 
Does anyone know some magic that can be done to overcooked rice?
hmmm.. I like Kid2′s excuse, v valid.. has the DIL taken off from work too?
that would be fun n good hungama at home then.
Nooo, they are into male bonding bigggg time. They wait until we females leave to have fun, both these brothers
Kid 2 is a smart guy
, like me. Some people don’t even need reasons to holiday.
But we did miss the catch up on DIL…
And finally, do all sons luv “Ma-food”… i think i’m gonna write smthing on this myself.
Waiting for your post
Hmmm…there is something magical about moms cooking isn’t it? Mine is visiting me in less than a month and seeing Kid 1s wishlist, I am inspired
Make your list
I so know where Kid1 is coming from. Only on Sunday I moved back home after 2 and a half years. Monday at lunch I was teary eyed cause of the lunch ma had packed. Acchar was in double wrapped and there was a small evening snack as well.. sniff… Nothing like mom-made
Awwww
PS. Add a bit of ghee in the spoiled rice, salt and lal mirchi and use it as stuffing for parathas… Its yummylicious!
Now that’s a good idea
I loved the simplicity of your blog.
Great going!
Would keep visiting more!
Regards,
J.
Thank you
The list reminds me of the ones I made when I came home from the hostel-and Mom wud try n feed me like a camel-”till the next trip”
I remember my brother calling me home-Didi ek mahine se chicken nahin bana
For overcooked rice-u can steam it further to make Dhoklas
Recipe please
i add ghee and melted jaggery and nuts to this. tastes heavenly
like ur style of writing and u r one brave lady
Thank you
Since I get to visit Philippines I know
that the Filipino food is a definite no-no
au contraire mother’s cooking adds a glow
but need to work out extra for the added kilo.
But Kid 1 is a fitness fanatic
Rich food he avoids it gives him acid
well for overcooked rice i mix milk and half fried eggs and feed it to my dog!
That is what we normally do
With all this food talk, i am feeling hungry… my stomach is growling…
Bon apetit
Over cooked rice..= take small portions = go out quietly.. then stop at your samosa wala… and gobble down 3-4 samosa’s !!!!!!!!
And feed that rice to stray dogs
hahaha
that is brilliant
trust you to see them chance pey dance marring
We were kids once …. and can see such attempts
Love your family posts… !!!
I am facing some computer problems, read this the day you published but couldn’t comment.:(
Thanks IHM
Kid #1 Here
Alright let me be the first one to say I did ask for those wonderful dishes to be cooked but before my mom goes and takes credit for cooking all of them let me just ask a question, Mom where did these dishes go???
2. Poshto
4. Aloo Matar Vadi
5. Atta Halwa
6. Poori Halwa
7. Biriyani
Cause I did not get to eat any of these. And mom you cant do any thing with overcooked rice which your lovely DIL cooked dont even try to talk me into it. It is a bad idea to let her do anything with food.
Stop being a crybaby! You cook as good as me and for continental dishes, I simply bow to your expertise! When you come home, you’ll get all these and more
Wow, I love it when your Kid #1 replies and then you reply to him. The blog gets all the more interesting!!
LoL! Your Kid #1 sounds like me. And Kid #2 sounds like my lil brother. And excuse for a holiday.
And I don’t believe you can can do anything with overcooked rice.
