lf that I am not going to be alone in this wild race of life… Sometimes, when I think how life is going to be during this month, with some big changes coming up in my schedule, I get really nervous. But then… I guess as you grow older, you are supposed to get wiser, so that means everything needs to be dealt with a level head and with as much little anxiety as possible. Fingers crossed to see how things are going to shape out, InShaAllah… 🙂
A vegetarian treat again for today… I love mushrooms though nobody else supports me for this vegetable. But then they have no other option to eat it when I cook it… hehe… My B would be more than happy to go get himself a takeaway when I cook anything that he doesn’t like, but then fearing the gnawing of his ears that he has to put up with, he normally avoids it. My poor HD has no other way out than to eat what is kept on the table when he comes home late. However, he is thankfully somebody who eats everything and has no qualms about trying new food. So slowly, I am trying to bring at home stuff that my umma used to never cook, and one is of course mushrooms. A nice cashew based gravy, that goes so well with some chapathis or white rice… one of my favorite vegetarian dishes to say the least… 🙂
