I had a weekend off and though I had planned my Saturday to the hilt, Sunday went off in a breeze. I had taken the kids to the latest Telugu Flick, Atharintiki Dharedhi. The movie was hilarious, I went in after much persuasion from the kids as hubby dear was busy on Sunday and I had to accompany them. Well, I was glad I did, as it has been a while since I have watched any movie and this was a welcome break.
Anyway, I managed to cook something on Saturday, trying very hard for the next BM to be done. With just a mega marathon just getting over today, all of us were feeling bereft already! Well, that doesn't mean I can ignore my weekend cooking and this is just the right thing to get done for a Saturday evening snack or a party starter.
