Why are men so dishonest?

I cannot fire them. I cannot throw things at them because the things are mine, and if they break, I will be depleting my bank balance. I haven't come across anything that I could qualify as my wrath ...that would not cause me some loss. Maybe you can suggest.

@DaddyEvil I came, I saw, I am preparing for a war...

Oh, that's funny! (But if vanny sees this, I didn't write it. )

That is worth a serious thought. Maybe he is told it is bad manners? No...sugar is short by about 10 to 15 gms I think. This time I bought measured amount from the shop. Normally, I personally measure it on my measuring scale. I also think it could do with a little bit more of essence.

@Butterfingers It was also burnt a tad more.

@vandana7 maybe but let's give you benefit of the doubt lol so your cake was good

They would go to that extent? Blink. My father does like my cooking.

I had a strange feeling. You all are different species. We women are different species. I will read that later. Right now I have to give dad dinner. But ...a bit disappointed. I bought half kg sugar from shop. Normal shop does not give half kg. So I usually measure it. This shop gives to poor people. So I thought, I will buy exact quantities of flour and sugar. What happened? Sugar was about 10 to 15 grams maybe 20 grams less.

@vandana7 Oh, I'm sorry that happened. Unless they will let you measure it or let you watch them measure it, I wouldn't buy from them again. What did you have for dinner? I made a large batch of spaghetti with meat sauce. If you ate meat, I'd share it with you.

@DaddyEvil I had spinach with lentils. It is one of my favorite curries. Do you like sour tamarind taste? I like it. So here is the lentil (toor dal...look up to know if you get it in your world). We wash in put it in pressure cooker. Add, well washed, well chopped spinach, 5 medium sized tomatoes diced for a small bowl of lentil, small round sized (our limes are small, our tomatoes are small too, and all our vegetables are small compared to what you all get so I cannot give you measurements) lime sized tamarind, 2 onions chopped, about 10 chillies (our chillies are not as pungent as yours). Some asofotida (don't know the spelling), and one teaspoon cumin seeds, and half teaspoon turmeric powder, and some oil, two glasses of water. Close the pressure cooker, and place it on gas. Then, when it is done (6 whistles), open put salt and chillie powder, and then season it externally ..we have seasoning bowl. In that six tablespoons of oil, 9 pods or petals or garlic, three dried chillies, one teaspoon of cumin seeds one teaspoon of mustard...and again asofotida and turmeric. First goes mustard, then cumin seeds, then garlic, then dried red chillies, then turmeric and asofotida. Once done switch the gas off, add sweet curry leaves so that there is no fire. Now while it is still sizzling hot, pour in the lentil plus everything. So simple...I cook it like background curry. I usually have one background curry or liquid curry and one dry curry. In addition, some non veg for dad. Dry curry keeps changing everyday because it is lesser quantity. Wet curry ...every three or four days I prepare one. I like this one because there are no masalas in there. So hopefully nothing irritates my stomach lining.

Not delicious, but quite satisfactory. Yesterday I thought I scored 50 percent. Today, I increased my marks to 75 percent. That is ok, I think.

@vandana7 You're too hard on yourself! How are you doing? I hope you're well and happy.

I ate it today. It was quite tasty. I agree. Men have different tastes when compared to us. Honesty helps us too, right?

That ..is so true. We women are fussy. My aunt is very particular. My cousin eats whatever is served on his plate. Funny. They are mother and son. So different in nature.
