Well, this one is different. It is often said that the way you perceive things is an inner reflection about you. I do believe this. I am positive.
This is about my mum. She is a true homely goddess.
I do share a warm cosy relationship with my mom.
Sticking to the familiar and old, her food tastes excellent.
She serves us daily and every time and ensures nobody remains empty stomach.
As for me, I feel I hold the quality of being an inner chef since I was a little girl.
My mum gasps calling out my name Shagun… Come and tell me.
This is cute…
Well, it is the story of “The Pancake”.
I am excited and shall call it the giggly giant fluffy Pancake.
Well, my mom is anxious. OO I am tired, I got work, how will the Pancake turn out to be.
The round shape, flip and the last plate up. Let us rap up fast…
My mommy is always in a hurry. Yet, I love her chubbiness, panic and cuteness.
Well, after the whisking, mixing, pouring came the time for serving.
The big mouth of my brother opened and there came the sourish words spelling out.
More than anyone else, I felt broken and disheartened.
Well, it’s ok. It happens.
I am a perfectionist being a Virgo. Though, I started to find happiness in these little stupid things.
Cooking for me is just like therapy
My mum and I connect best in the kitchen itself.
Well, this is my broken Pancake.
My heart was pondering for long and decided to take a final shot and write about it.
Well, I follow this mantra every time.
My favourite oxymoron is “act naturally”.
Well, I did bite a slice of Pancake. Ewww, the baking powder spilt over which made it taste a little bitter.
Never Mind. The beauty lies in the failed attempt.
Ironically, I would say pick it up and get the pun!
Well, show some goddamn respect. I am an empath and can vividly see the intention Behind your every move and action. I know what you say and what that means. Nah, you can’t bluff with me.
Avoid the loud firing shouts that may end up as a war. But my mum keeps quiet as she is fragile and dependent.
Love is the only pathway.
Approach the matter with love, affection and humour.
This is candid; I am trying to find inspiration in burnt food.
Well, I do try and capture such moments to make myself happy.
Moreover, sometimes, browned food, crusty and inky corners, bittersweet edges can be a new cooking style. Caution: Need to be kept in moderation.
Well, I am a rule-breaker and an optimist at the same time.
To be creative, you need to go beyond the textbook of golden cooking books.
Well, with little care and moderation, I will try a burnt meal next time. Will share the recipe with you for sure…
Don’t panic and mute the sound of others for a while.
Are you ready to travel to the darker terrain?
I do remember the sizzler palate with a curl of smoke coming out.
This is how it is meant to be and that is why it is a sizzler.
Next time, you hear a voice “something is burning”.
Just reply, yes, that is the whole point!
