It’s mid-morning here, in a middle of the week. I am at home, alone, surrounded by the pin drop silence broken by the ticking of the small clock on the table. Tick-tock, tick-tock… The scene today can’t be much different to the one exactly a week ago! Our home was anything but silent, with one energetic 5 year old raising the ruckus and me willingly joining him. He is back in school, after a week-long half term vacation and I miss him terribly. ~sigh~

The silence is unbearable… Making me want to scream! Instead, I decide to focus that energy into writing this post. I always write from my heart; memories of my childhood, stories of my life, my failures and frustrations, joy and success and even my ramblings and rants which may not make much sense to most of you! Writing brings me joy, calms my mind and mostly, helped me in building bonds with like-minded people, even with a complete stranger.

I know it’s been few weeks already since this space breathed a new post… As the days are getting longer and nights are getting shorter, my desire to take a break from usual daily grind grew stronger… Summer, well, it is officially here in my neck of wood with soaring high temperature of 27 deg C.

Grilled Vegetables with Guacamole

All this month my good friend Trupti of “The Spice Who Loved Me” is hosting Winter Food Swing where we are invited to cook with our family or friends. I found it very interesting and delightful as my hubby K is a big help in kitchen. For us cooking is not just chopping vegetables and boiling them. It is carefully picking the vegetables, cutting them lovingly (with all due respect for their sacrifice;), cooking them gently and serving them with pride and joy. So everyday cooking is a joint venture for us. First we rummage our fridge to check what’s available. And then we have our brainstorming session for another five minutes or so, arguing which lucky vegetable is going to satisfy our hungry and growling tummy. Once the vegetable is chosen, we discuss (yeah just discuss) on what to cook which takes another few minutes of our time (usually). Once all these are decided, we assign tasks of cutting, grinding, boiling, washing (it’s a long list. Isn’t it?).

Well… Cooking is not just about cooking, is it? I love cooking when my better half is around. He is my food critic, assistant chef, motivator and much more.

So this time I am moving away from all lime lights and leaving my much loved kitchen to my hubby:) He made wonderful Grilled Vegetables with Cream of Tomato Soup and Guacamole. He didn’t ask any help from me and cooked everything from scratch. So this time, all spot lights are on him. So are you ready? Lights, Camera and Action….
