Every year I make வடாம் (vadaam). A rice snack that is sun dried and can be stored boxes to be deep fried later. This year I have not found time to do the same. I did travel and also the weather was not perfect. More rainy days than normal. I heard someone talking today that…

What do you listen to while you work? I do not have a desk job. My job is around the house and with my special young man. My young man loves music so he has his tablet and headphones and keeps listening to something. With his OCD it maybe the same thing and I do…

What’s your go-to comfort food? It was National Ice cream 🍨 day today. We went to an ice cream shop to see if there were any specials but nothing unless you order in their app. I really do not have a sweet tooth but off late I am craving strawberry ice cream as my comfort…

We checked off our 8th National Park yesterday. We have been there twice before when the kids were young. Since we started the quest of visiting all 63 parks we needed to visit it again. But this time it was more of walking a trail instead of just riding a train and of course getting…

What’s your favorite game (card, board, video, etc.)? Why? My special one loves carrying cards. Anything from flash cards to credit cards we had a whole box full of them. That was his (or still?) a sensory thing. Yup, we soon found out any card game or board game would not work for us. All…

What foods would you like to make? Food posts get a lot of views. I cook and I teach my young man to cook. So a different answer to the same prompt.😀 I love to cook one pot easy meals. My better half encourages since there is not much in the sink to clean at…

Dogs or cats? It is cats 🐈 of course. Is it because I grew up with cats or I saw Garfield movie yesterday? 🤔 It was a free summer movie at Phoenix Theater yesterday but we did spend money for snacks. I thought me and my young man would burn some calories we added after…

Which activities make you lose track of time? An activity that I do not look at my watch? My day is filled with alarm and timers for one thing or another. My young man is on a schedule and he is good on it. So life does not give me a choice. But I would…

What bothers you and why? It really bothers me when people say “in those olden days or in my childhood we didn’t have this or that”. Of course I too try to remember those days when we didn’t have internet nor a phone that would do all. I force my kids to use pen and…

Since 2021 I have been organizing our trip pictures as a movie. Most of them are on Youtube for our family view only or in a private setting. This is my self interest and the rest of my family shows no interest in looking back at them. I keep thinking will a time come when…

List 10 things you know to be absolutely certain. Anything with nature is certain. Death is certain. Sunrise and sunset along with moon rise and moon set is certain. We have astronomical calculations for eclipse that are going to happen in future and they seem to be certain. Why is that the weather has become…

Are you seeking security or adventure? I am not a person who enjoys adventurous actvities. Yes, that includes financial decisions and adrenaline rush physical activities. But I am in awe with people who train to endure for some physical activities. I have been watching people trekking and hiking mountains and one that really caught my…

We left the house for our trip July 4th morning around 5 am and until 10 pm July 11th I would say my life was driven just by my karma. We came back from our trip July 9th, yet things get moving here in Pittsburgh. When I planned the trip, I knew there was a…

What do you think gets better with age? I had written for the prompt last time around and I had said there would be a part two or a sequel 😀! Part 1 Old age brings in loss of hearing or loss of sight and of course our bones are not strong. But we do…

Today I was in a great mood to cook. I even went grocery shopping (which I rarely do in the middle of the week), and got groceries to make a tasty meal. My family applauded my rasam (tomato and tamarind soup). After a week of travel home cooked food tastes so yummy and feels healthy.…

I took a week off blogging break because of a travel over the long weekend and it was hot and busy. We wanted to make a personal offering (me and my husband) to our Guru and a trip to Dallas was planned . This was our offering and not our kids’ and I wanted to…

What are you most worried about for the future? I have ton of things to worry about the future! Don’t we all! But the one that I most worry about is menu planning for the next day 🙂! With different taste buds in my family that is not an easy task and sometimes I may…

I got this plant during St Patricks Day Bingo at my son’s program. Oh boy! It was so hard to bring the plant to this level and not kill it. Touchwood! Last time my bunnies ate it and this time the cold frost and rain made it sick. Finally it is trying to survive. Now…

It’s the last day of June. Summer is officially here. Early morning walk in my backyard always brings me memories of my childhood vacation. The air smells so similar to the one during my vacation and memories keep flowing. Every year, April and May our summer vacation would be spent at my maternal grandparents’ home…

My cappuccino cup had another purpose this week! It was super hot and my cold carrot kheer (milk), tasted so good in it! Who knew a cube of ice would give so much taste! Yes, not a coffee week. I did write during my week of a puzzle project that was messed up by my…
