There are days when I wake up with a decisive menu in mind. The breakfast, lunch, and dinner all sorted out.
And then there are days when I go blank not knowing what to cook! It is not a cook’s block…hehe…laughing at my own lame joke 😃
It’s just that the decision of a recipe has not set well with the mind and heart.
Then I put an open question to the family – “What do you want for breakfast?”
Options given by family are aplenty – a toast/oats/dosa/anything you want ma / Pongal…
And they all look at me eagerly as to what am I going to cook. While the options were coming in, my mind was processing them and thinking about the availability of ingredients and stuff and time left for making the same.
And suddenly like a bright light, my mind gives me the idea of wheat Rava upma 😉
I don’t know how much tangential thinking is possible but it happens to me all the time. And I convince the family with my choice…hehe 🤓
There have been repeated episodes of this recipe-decision-making for lunch and dinner too and its been going on for years. Either we all like to play this menu-deciding game or they have all got used to this silly game of mine!
