Odds and Ends


The past week was about making the best of odds and ends lying in the fridge. With work schedules bordering on crazy, 'visit supermarket' was just another unchecked item on the list. But happy to report that we have survived and, re-stocked!

I learnt how far a few boiled potatoes, 1/2 a cabbage, 1 brinjal, 1 tomato, 2 onions, rice, dal, crackers can actually go. And I learnt exactly how useful it is to have ready-to-eat dim sums stocked in the fridge.

With some help from the folks at Secret Ingredient, we ended up having a fancy meal as well!


Making it all on our own is the most rewarding feeling ever. Bumps on the road hurt while they last but as always, in hindsight, "what doesn't kill you makes you stronger" (Kelly Clarkson singing in my head)!
