For the last few months I have not been able to read, comment or post maybe it’s a writer’s block or because I have not been too well.
I had a scare that I would be getting carpel tunnel syndrome added to it was tremendous weight gain, general aches and pains that kept me away from the computer. Compounding my heartache was that one of my friends is suffering from cancer and another friend’s 5 year old is also down to the dreaded disease. Both have to undergo chemo and radiation
therapy. This is enough to depress me!!
therapy. This is enough to depress me!!
At the cost of repeating myself again, I have to say that I am enjoying myself. Where else are you going to meet new friends, and read through the blog in detail to search for a dish that you can make to suit your needs?
For the new version of Blog Hop Radhika has paired me with Anusha Parveen of Tomato Blues. Anusha has got some lovely recipes out there (I have copied and printed some of them to try out slowly in a bid to make my bookmarked list smaller. Now my daughter is telling me I am not environment-friendly). Also, Anusha has announced an event called Street Food at her place. Do send in your
entries. I will certainly send in mine only need to get myself in action. This is the kid’s favourite foods so I will have plenty of suggestions.

Coming to today’s entry for the blog hop this is an evergreen veggie that I chose Baby Potato fry.Anusha has used baby potatoes to make her veggie but I decided not to wait for the baby potato to visit us. You see I needed a veggie for our meal. There were no vegetables that were purchased from the
market except the 4 potatoes that had escaped my fry pan just before our

I have for once followed Anush’a recipe but the major change was that I used regular potatoes that I boiled (in the cooker), peeled and cubed.
Also, I wanted them fried crisp I did not have the patience as I very bad cold so this ended up in the bowl faster than what I had visualised but was never the less
tasty.

Thanks, Anusha for a jiffy vegetable that was satisfying and especially that does not need much of a preparation. I served it garnished with chillies
lovely pungent ones.

So sorry to hear about your physical discomfort and my eyes are tearing up to read about your friend's cancer, esp the little one - Sometimes I wonder if God is aware of what he is doing! Computer and typing are not good at all for carpel tunnel- Hope you are using a laptop that might give you the freedom to rest your wrists as you type - wishing you well my friend and hope that the new year takes a turn for the better from here on
Pongal greetings to you and yours - Here's a BIG hug coming your way - All you can be is a good friend and support system for your friends - keeping all of you in my prayers. Love Priya
