I am a food freak. I try every cuisine. I love all kinds of food (ahem properly cooked food). I hate the dosa cooked in our mess but I relish eating a properly cooked dosa in a restaurant. Of all the dishes I have eaten, my mom's dishes are the best. She is a magician. When I was at home, I never used to value her culinary skills much. It was an everyday thing. And so I would take it all in stride when my friends used to gush about her cooking. One of my friend still remembers her gaajar ka halwaa. He says he can't forget that taste. He ate it some 5 years back!!! After 6 years of hostel life, I now realise her worth. It's a skill to mix everything and make it even edible. And if you add lots of love and affection to it, mannah can never even compete with it. She outperforms herself every other meal. When I am at home, I eat every meal as if its my last meal ever.
I know cooking. Agreed that I have a theoretical knowledge of most of the non-veg dishes but then I am a theoretician (psst.. I know what goes into biriyani :-D). And I have cooked too. These were on the few occasions when mom was out of station or she was not well. I love to see the hopeless miserable looks on my sibs' face then :-D I have been told that I cook well. But thats the crux you see. When I cook once in a blue moon, I enjoy it but if I have to do this day in and day out, I think Ill go crazy. My father has already given up on me. He looks at me with that tera-kya-hoga expression :-D U know when I told my pa that my life partner should be free-thinking, intelligent, and cheerful, he laughed !!!! Really. Do tell me. Are free-thinking-intelligent-cheerful men an endangered species ?? I hope not :-D
Anyway, my food-gushing originated here.
If you are a food freak you have to check it out. You can find recipes and delicious pictures there. In the last few minutes, I imagined myself feasting on all that :-D
Someday, Ill have my own kitchen where I will cook my own dishes for my own pleasure. Ill try these dishes out then :-D

In fact pundit, I hog when there's good food around. Its just that Im lucky that I dont put on weight in the wrong places. My bro used to tease me about my cheeks. He would puff up his face, slant the eyes with his fingers chinese style and say thats me :-D
yeah so true. everyone has to stay in a hostel once in their lifetime! it gets on my nerves when my pa or sis complain abt no salt or some such thing in the food. Mom loves feeding me and my bro these days :-D And I cash.
