Re: Lunch -Thread 2

[Seva Lamberdar]

Seva ji - seriously consider consulting with the FDA:-) otherwise, how have you been?

Nevada - wait for my pics on friday. it will be better than yours:-)

Good point Impedi-ji, about consulting with the FDA ... although I wonder how many FDA employees / officials had a first hand banana growing experience themselves, like I do personally!
Anyway, I am doing fine  ... how are you?

By the time it runs into 4 pages, ANY thread has to hit one or more of the five pillars of SUCH: castu / sub-castu, NI-SI, Magnificent Mughals / Nizams, Sonia MT/Garibi Hatao and iSlam / Dr PBUH.

LOL. you ought to post pics too. you have a good taste in food -- this observation is in contrast with my observation of PN who feels "chinese food does not taste as good as it looks." she is a certified basket case condemned to only perugu annam for life. do you cook non veg at home?

nothing but. I make fine chicken/mutton/fish/shrimp/liver dishes and good at grilling various meats but no good at biryanis etc. no desire to try and cook other foods at home except spaghetti for the kid. my wife cooks good chinese and messican & one or two greek/italian when she puts in the effort.

we are in agreement about PN and her basket

Actually I have been on a self imposed exile from this thread for a while. But today's lunch menu is Indian and I had to share

[Guest]

Smeared peanut butter on 2 roties and doubled each of them to make half-moon slices. That's the most one can do when it's 4 minutes remaining for kids' school bus. Also, accidently 3 jars of peanut butter were bought and opened before I could get a chance to return them. One was got from shoprite, that's smaller. Other two came as a pair from costco. Happens when ma-beti both go to do groceries separately on the same day. Means, it's gonna be a lot of peanut butter in next one year.
