OH my God! I posted I went to leave my link at wordless Wednesday, I turned around and two comments already! Thank you! These are pictures of food I cooked. Last is a picture of my kitchen. We eat here everyday.
Raaga: My children say this prayer too
Ritu: It is a sweet,short prayer yet deep and all encompassing
One small, a very small piece will do too, of a juicy, hot gulab jamun after all that. We used to often joke as children...:Dear God, Give us this day our daily bread...with Amul Butter" :D
Food is my weakness.. now that its month end.. living away from your homes.. food is one thing i try to eat less :( but fail miserably... :D
BTW why do u eat sooooo less...
The second pic reminds of what i use to have @ home, rice (lot more than this though) , chutney, pickles, upkari!! mostly potato(no wonder am so fat!!)..
Count your blessings, name them one by one, Count your blessings, see what God hath done! Count your blessings, name them one by one, *Count your many blessings, see what God hath done. [*And it will surprise you what the Lord hath done.]
Lovely Post and awesome clicks.... I thought looking at your post......yaayy.... Preeti has turned a food blogger too..... btw.....any chance of you posting some wonderful recipes? The pictures are good and food is looking delicious....you must be a great cook.....Your kitchen is very cute and cosy...... the prayer is the one which we said in school... though at home we say "anna he puranbrahm" And can i say its one of my fav posts bcos its related to food???(or would that be partiality :))
Oh u bet! I was always someone who feels grateful and takes pleasure in an ordinary day. I realized this even more when I watched the movie "open water". Its one sad terrifying movie if you look at it from the loneliness aspect.
Hi Preeti, I don’t remember how and when I came across your blog but I do remember that the couple of posts I read made me feel fresh and happy. felt like leaving a comment now, just to tell you that you write in wonderful and simple ways.
Fay: I keep changing the table cloth. But beige kinda looks nicer! :) Will bear the movie in mind.
Ruch: I love flowers as is obvious:)
Rujuta: :-) Thank you! Recipes for these dishes?--very simple cooking really. They can most probably be found on the net. Somehow lazy to write recipes!
lovely prayer, the thing is we cannot be Grateful and unhappy :) for greatfulness brings happiness. Appreciation of life brings Appreciation .. of Life :)

Yummy Post :) Made me Hungry :) Typical south Indian Meal. Pickles are one thing i cant let go off :) Lovely Pictures Preeti.

And nice dinning area :) You enjoy food more only when you sit together & eat. The looks of it says that all of you sit together & have food , who would want to leave such a nice dinning area :)
Thankful for YOU! Love your pictures. Small gratitudes are best. Only this morning my husband said to me, we could eat macaroni & cheese every night for dinner and I wouldn't care, if I had you. Oh man he is a charmer. xoxoxo
