Today was marked to be 'Burnt Offering' Day.
Of all days, Today Rice doesnt get over cooked- it gets burnt ! The Alternate quick fix solution - Noodles - follows suit !! With smoke in my nostrils i decide to stay away from the kitchen.. but couldnt resisting heating some banana (of all things !) in the microwave - A fresh whiff of smoke not long after .. i rush to switch off mains and dump the charred mess where it belongs..You would think I was done but No...Not finished yet. Had some marinated fish I needed to prepare for next day"biryani" lunch..I'm sauting onions and before I know it I'm off to keep daughter entertained (some lessons are hard to learn !!)..I casually glance at the kitchen while passing by ...flash memory..I dive desperately like the cricket replays.. Fortunately, in time to save the dish one second before charring! This time the lesson of the day stuck..and Lo behold within half an hour I had a delightful fish 'biryani'(it didnt make it to a cookbook..but Joanna yummied it.. and thats that !!)
They say there is a cause for every effect... an aching head, sleep deprivation, pre-occupation, multi-tasking...whatever could be the reason !!
As for the Moral - Alls well that ends well.. Try , try till you succeed ...Title it whatever u wish :-)
Oh I know those days all too well. For me, its almost an everyday thing!
