DISASTER in the KITCHEN

Today I made an 'effort' to make chowmein... (For those saying, "what's so good about that"-> I FORBID you to read further!!!). Anyway! So, as I was saying, I tried to make gravy-chowmein and it turned into a dry, sticky lump of God-knows-what. I mean, making Maggi is just so easy. And even ACT II Popcorn (GOD SHOWER HIS BLESSINGS ON THAT COMPANY...AMEN!) And I really really adore those chutki-mein-taiyaar Knorr soups - tomato/ thick chicken/ sweet corn -----> YUMMY (Those saying "I hate Knorr, ota abar soup holo".... Listen, just don't KNOW how to prepare it. You're ignorant. Admit it.)
I feel, Knorr is a blessing-in-a-packet for kitchen first-timers. *clap* *clap* *clap*

Anyways, as I was saying, the chowmen went so berserk that even my sweet father {who's been ordered 'complete bed-rest'(watever tht means) because of his 30% burn} pulled up his nose and said..."HMM!!" [ He says 'hmm' whenever he's
a) sad
b) disappointed
c) confused
d) secretly ecstatic
e) etcetera
f) etcetera
g) etcetera.... WHATEVER!!!]
So he said 'HMM' and when I looked glumly at him, he thought I was about to cry (Note: I wasn't) and so my dear father said in his characteristic I-know-EXACTLY-what-went-wrong voice: "As a first timer, its commendable. Bhheeeeeshon bhalo. Ranna to pure chemistry. Porer baar thikthak proportion koro. Its FINE! just ektu goley gechhe. apart from that, its first-class!"

Now it was my turn to say "HMM"!!!! Coz Bapi's words did nothing to lift my sagging morale!

To make matters worse, the milk fermented inside the teapot while I was making tea.

"Hell is empty and all the devils are here"

Now who would call THIS thing TEA?????






Still apparently undefeated I went back to my first kitchen-love - Act II.
The result.... tantannnaaaaa....

*smile* *smile* *blush* *blush*

And thus I murderd my hunger and saved the day. *applause*
Now I munch popcorn and watch replays of Team Bangladesh defeating Team SouthAfrica. Now that India's not IN, I support bangladesh, then I'll support WestIndies... then I'll support SriLanka... then I'll support Australia....
not my philosophy.... that was as per general public opinion (polls not conducted)... I'm not much of a die-hard cricket-fan!

(N.B. : If you're thinkin that I'm ignorant BCoz I don't know how to cook... wait till I learn it. Ungliya chaat-te reh jaogey! *smile with twinkle in the eye* )
