Hi Sia, I realized how much I have missed being away from blogging for one month after seeing your pictures. I so love them! The lemon rice is tempting, I make it often, but your picture is just perfect, though I don't like the fork next to it:D Lovely post with great memories from your childhood.

Yum as ever - the picture:) I have always liked lemon rice, and it is a staple with me.

Can you help me with putting bigger pictures in my blog? Not as big as yours, but bigger that the largest size blogger offers. I tried out some tips and they did not work out for me.

Hi Sia,
Nice writing! I always love to read ur writing. This Chitranna dish is similar to my Gujju dish "Vagarela Bhaat". My mom used to make it often eventhough a small bowl of left-over rice,coz my dad loved it. Your writing made me nostalgic:)

2008-09-18T23:27:00.000+01:00

I make a version of this sometimes, but your post is making me crave this like never before. A lovely post..I'm smiling at the thought of pig tailed girls eating this and drinking bournvita! Very sweet..the best foods are the ones that have memories associated with them.
And thanks for taking the time to visit me.
