NOODLE HAS TO BE COOKED MORE IN OUR HOME!
I mean, I cooked a fish variety last weekend not of my choice, also the mutton got salty! I am in an irritative state for various reasons! I liked the lau ghonto sans the fish head! These days, I cannot take the smell of hilsa head, big Rui or Katla head! I can only have them fresh; crispy fried! The Rui Mach was fresh and the family is eating it. Because I did not like it while cooking, I did not touch the curry! In such a scenario, I enjoy a noodle bowl, sabu dana khichuri, chirer polao, also oats-dal khichuri, dal-begun bhaja, an egg fry, even pasta with freshly cut fruits & what I had today for lunch; dal er bora, dal, lau ghonto sans the fish head pieces! T is at home today, on asking told he has some work with the bank to settle. We do not like bothering each other! Moreover, I got too busy cooking for a client! The menu was vegetarian and well selected!
I started to cook around 9:30 am, finished around 4:45 pm with immense help from the Filipino who went for the delivery now. I would share the experience on Saturday! I am pretty tired, sat with Earl Grey tea accompanied by two ginger biscuits!
After a sip or two, I realise that bank work is not the only reason for the leave, it is the election result day in India. I not only guess but believe; not physics, not ship's safety & security; T should have studied psephology, do similar to what Pronoy Roy & team do! He not only watches but keep analysing the electoral result with people having similar interest! I belong to an world far from economics, finance, election, science; maths; academics as such! I admit my shortcomings openly, does it mean people can constantly belittle me, insult me years after years, taking advantage of my nature, my soft corner for them? Neither T, nor I trail each other at home, in the road, in social media! We have our own lives; so had our parents. Our father had friends, club, morning walks; for long I did not know a husband's job is only to serve his wife & vice-versa! What are some trying to prove & exhibit? That they are friends with every other person, that they would ignore me everywhere, in front of everyone just to prove how loyal they are to their own? At the cost of my self-respect? They should go to behavioural school, degrees are not good enough! I often ask T to behave right! Those people may have good understanding with their partner when they target a soft, weak, spot! I know only one way to resurrect, rejuvenate the self! On her way back, Cristine got her & this self; fruit pie!
Mumma's boy dislikes few things mumma is in love with; fruit pies, bean curries! Ghugni, rajma are not his things! I do not know why I crave for Rajma & rice often!
I AM OPEN TO DIFFERENCES OF OPINION, DIFFERENCES IN FOOD CHOICE!
What I dislike is misdemeanour! In my case; people have every right to speak free to me; that your this, that, those things need correction, that I need to work on them. That people are using human shield against me, triggering at me is a hurt I cannot overcome in this lifetime! I would not hurl similar abuses but never can get over it! I have not learnt to ignore & bypass an issue that is detrimental to my peace! I keep telling the son to behave well with others, also ask my brother the same! Our mother did not demand from us this feature in particular, but I keep telling T, Bhai, Beta about it's importance! I adjust to their needs, cook what we can eat together as a family! We are different individuals wanting good amount of space for us! The son is an extreme case, he was not born to listen! I was also not born to feed anyone's ego, except for mine! I would not betray you on the dining table! Let me serve you all in turns!
I WISHED TO SERVE NOODLES ON MY READERS' BOWLS! WHAT IS MIXED SAUCE NOODLES?
It is nothing special, of I mixed together a little from all the sauces that are there in the refrigerator! You should thank the Almighty, I did not add sriracha mayo in the mixture! I am feeling tired, hence planned to share an easy recipe. Also, after all the luchi-torkari, spicy chicken and fulkopi, polao; the beautiful people in this island do have the right to enjoy a noodle bowl sitting beside me! I do not have a happening face, nor great as a company; was thinking if I sell this vegan noodle bowl MIXED SAUCE NOODLES in Kolkata, it would be a hit or not! It has a little tangy sauce mix, the goodness of broccoli and a star called aloo / potato! The problem is the East and South East Asians would not allow potato in their noodles and Kolkata may ask for a lot of sauces atop their noodles! I totally dislike overbearing sauces in noodles; prefer to eat them frill free, preparing it my way!
