2010 has given a good start for us! We found out that we are expecting the newest addition in our family! The happy dancing didnt last long with me down with a severe disliking of food and being tired all the time. I couldn’t stand any ‘white’ foods like chicken or milk or bread LOL! and didn’t have much energy to cook and yes i hated my refrigerator as well!  The joys of first trimester!

Then soon i had to fly to Calicut/Kozhikode because my father was sick and i wanted to be with him. I hate flying but may be Allah made it all easy this time – this was the smoothest journey i ever had from Singapore to Calicut. My father passed away in March (innaillahi wa innaillahi rajioon May his soul rest in peace and May Almighty Allah grant him Jannat e Firdous) which was a big blow to me.

After spending few weeks in Calicut beating the heat my kids started showing signs that they could no more tolerate the heat. So here we are again back home! My daughter still talks aboutCalicut and wants to go back as soon as possible!! Its really difficult to forget the Malabar experiences – the people, the food, the shopping, the heat, the rickshaws!!! the list goes on…

Now with the second trimester on i’m feeling much better and was browsing thru many websites thinking of what to cook – desserts or main dishes or sides.. im really bored of my own cooking (yes that another thing you have to deal when your back from Calicut) My mood varies from sweet to sour to spicy so im really afraid to cook something special and i may end  messing it and not able to eat it.

Well as of now i don’t have any thing interesting to post here though my drafts are full! i’ll be back soon with of recipes and with Ramzan coming on im hoping i’ll feast your eyes!

Today we saw a rainbow right in front of my home!!! it was sure beautiful! Now atleast my kids will know its a real thing!! LOL!!

Happy Fathers Day to all the dads and dads-to-be!!!! We had a quiet family time yesterday and spend almost all the time at home. We went to buy some groceries after dinner and treated the kids at KFC! Though they wanted to go to the all time fav place McD we somehow tricked them to go to KFC because they had released a new item Toaster Twister and we wanted to try it out.. heehee! Anyways the kids were happy and so no worries! Ohh and ye it was really yuummmmyy!

I got this in my email today i was like OMG!!! so big??? LOL!!!! this might be the worlds largest Banana Stalk!!
