Saturday's highlights were the sumptuous dishes A and I cooked along with the usual lunch. The Jacket potato was his own recipe, creatively cut and presented to our dear neighbours who dropped in for a while. I made kheer with some leftover rice added to coconut cream and jaggery (gur in Hindi). The heavy lunch made me sleepy...but I woke up in time for our weekly Mythological story-telling session for kids, at a dear friend's place. Had a long walk home after socializing over potluck dinner.

The helper's day off on Sunday gives us freedom to uninhibitedly sing, yoodle, prance, dance all over the house and just be ourselves...
Sunday evenings have been reserved for cycling with the younger one. My teen is happy with the fact that we have only three bicycles, which means she cannot be forced to go biking with us...
We sped past the sparkling river lined with shady trees, halted when tired and gorged on some parathas, popcorn, sweet-corn and fruit juice.
Dinner was egg omelette, Maggi noodles with peas and carrots. A also concocted some yummy vegetable soup which I am sure he will not be able to tell the recipe of. Instantly created and instantly forgotten is what he claims...It always thrills the kids when they come to know they are having Maggi for dinner and not the usual fare of rice, roti, sabzi and dal.
Sigh! Monday again but isn't everyday to be enjoyed...
