Peel, wash, cut, chop,
Slice, dice, rinse, drop (oops)
Open, close, search, find (yyess)
Scrape, add, mix, grind…
Simmer boil cook shake,
Look smell feel taste (mmmmm?????)
Season splutter pour fry,
Cool store pat dry…
Wash clean wipe drain,
Sharpen open squeeze strain…
Peel wash cut some more
Slice dice till hands get sore
Open replace, don’t forget
Or you’ll waste time when you cook next….
Simmer boil cook wait
Speed up! you are getting late!

The kitchen floor is now a mess.

Faster! Faster! Don’t be slow…
Look, It’s gone half past six
Don’t succumb to hysterics.
The bus will come in ten minutes!
Must doll up in three minutes…
RING! RING!! RING!!! RING!!!!
Dash and grab the blasted thing
Greet, smile “Oh thank you,
And HAPPY VISHU to you too!” (pant pant…..)
Written last Vishu after keeping the Kani, and (surprising myself by)preparing a sadya of FOURTEEN items.... on a working day.....single handed!!
I did learn from that mistake.

Wow, that was brilliant.
You dont seem to like cooking very much though, i love it. Something about mixing ingredients to create something else delicious draws me to it.
14 itemssssss???? oh she.. i missed it.....
Jay
Yes, it does seem like magic.It is also like studies, enjoyable when there isn't any pressure to do it.
Ajmal
Yes, 14 - including the rice, papadam and buttermilk :)

Wow me likey :)
Very well done indeed. I hope cooking isnt as difficult as in sounds! But of course its different wen u do it for fun n when u HAVE to do it.....!
Well... think about it- now you can feed the family left overs and so abstain from cooking for a week :D

Actually cooking isn't all that bad, it just isn't one of my passions; and I don't like doing things without passion.It can be fun, why don't you try?

Yes, and pretend to not hear the groans or see the scowls. I believe in 'REDUCE(distribute to anyone that will take) REUSE (fridge to micowave to dining table) and RECYCLE'(pona machaan thirumbi vanthaan)
How apt! Yesterday was Earth Day :D
Wow! *awed silence*
I applaud you!
i feel like a 4 year old after reading ur poem :) and tats the beauty of ur writings...
do u run a creche? maybe u cud do tat after work? :P
and hey, i wanted to ask u: dont teachers get bored teaching the same stuff to batch after batch of students?
Anush
Either you UNDER-stand or you understand!
A CRECHE!!! God forbid!
Thankfully the syllabus gets revised. Besides you don't teach the same thing many times, you try different approaches according to the group and new ideas you get. Actually the teacher also keeps learning.I think other jobs could be worse. Oh i could go on and on.
But yes,one could get tired of the
sameness which is when a teacher should stop and which is one reason why I quit.

Bow! *modest smile*
carumba!!!!
