If anyone ever thought themes blogging was easy try blogging with alphabets and themes!!
Everytime I think of a dish it’s like ha this is with the alphabet say “D” then it has to fit within the limits that have been set for the themes.
I do believe I have never pored over, yes pored over my recipes books and clippings as much I have in the last few months it’s like I am answering an exam!!
Here are my exam papers till now…
And now D
In some of the alphabet, it’s easy but in some it’s… like you have reached a brick wall!!
One such wall was for the alphabet “D”!
I kept on changing my mind again and again, nothing new here, but then I annoyed myself and felt like a dunce! Finally, I decided to make “Drunkard’s Noodles.” No, I have not d(r)unked them in alcohol!!
Drunkard’s noodles need rice noodles but since I could not get them I used ordinary noodles, then again I used veggies because I wanted a 1 pot meal. The girls managed to twist my hand and get me to make Hot and Sour veggies to go with it! But that’s beside the point! I have marked the veggies I have used as optional you may omit them. Next time we will have some Wonton Soup too!

Well Valli that was exactly my girls reaction when they heard me. The exact comment was," Mamma gayi kaam se. She is watching too many foreign cooking channels." They came and check my list and the ingredients that went it.:)
