10 things I miss of Mom’s cooking - Meme
Thank you Sudhav,Pushpa and Aparna for tagging me for this very first meme that I get to play!
The other day while chatting with my mother online,she told me that she just ate a ripe mango and while she was eating it she was thinking about how much I loved to eat mangoes!I told her... Oh my favourite!I miss those mangoes and the mangoes we get here are not good,after this she started to weep uncontrollably...sitting here miles away from her,I could see her cry through the webcam,I then told her,Amma no the mangoes we get here are not so bad,I get to eat so many fruits here,that we havent had in India,I am coming to India in 2 months time.......nothing could console her.It took a while for her to get back to normal.Thats how my dear mum is, so I just hope my mum does not read this!
1.Pudina Chicken Biryani - my mum definetly knows that this dish will rank first in my favourite list!I love this dish not only for its wonderful taste but also for a whole lot of happy memories that it brings to me.
2.I miss eating food from my mums hand:( Even after my wedding my mother still used to feed me with her hand at times.Everyone at home,makes fun of me, my father especially gets so angry when he sees this he tells me not to be childish,but mum hides from him and all those who make fun of me and gives it to me.But for me it is not that I am lazy to eat food using my hand or something else,it is one such memory that reminds me of my childhood,above all my mums love and care for me at all times including the times I was sick and that special bond that we share with each other and I dont mind being childish for that!
3.Here breakfast for me means either chapathi,appam or dosa and on a lazy morning,I settle with a sandwich.I miss the variety in the dishes we used to have for breakfast
4.I miss all the yummy non veg dishes that my mum makes out of chicken,mutton and fish
5.I miss her packing lunch for me and all those yummy dishes with pickles,thoran,chips...
6.I miss my mum serving food for me in the plate and calling me a 100 times to come and have it.Now for all that I had done,I am in my mums shoes and I call my husband not a 100 times maybe around 1000 times and he still sits in front of the comp turning a deaf ear to me!
7.I miss all those yummy snacks she used to make in the evening
8.Inspite of my fathers very strict instructions of not having food from the roadside and my mum too not very happy with it,if I pester her a little more,she used to increase that pocket money so that I could at times go out with friends to have yummy street food like Pani puri,Bhel puri etc that we get in the streets of Bangalore!
9.My mum is a very good hostess and any unexpected guest arrives,she does not fret or get tensed and quickly prepares a scrumptious meal for all.
10.The way she cleans her kitchen.....Oh my God!If she is cooking with one hand ,she is cleaning with the other!I am so lazy to clean the mess and that gets on my mums nerves and we have small arguments about it.All arguments that we had between us,I think most had its roots in the kitchen:)!
I used to tell her no two women can rule a single kitchen:)!
Thank you once again Sudhav,Pushpa and Aparna for tagging me,I have enjoyed this meme and I would like to tag Starry nights of Across the miles,and Annita of My treasure my pleasure to continue this meme!

Thats a lovely post sumitha..Very true mom's are always mom..i always remeber these lines" U can hid everything from someone, something from everyone,but cant hid anything from your mother". I read these lines about 12 yrs back..and belive me they are so fresh in mind..Moms are the best and truly a magical creation of GOD..
Very touching...
That was a lovely post sumitha. and thanks for tagging me , I will write something.
Very nice write up Sumitha...I am sure your mum will be happy to know these sentiments
Invariably today all posts of this meme are bringing out some droplets of tears - Dont know why . Read shankari's post and now yours. Its so touching - Got to call amma once I reach home - Thanks for sharing !!!
Ammanna chumma illanga.. Everybody have their own feelings of mum..I thot of my mom after seeing your post-
Oh! that was sweet! So sad your mom cried when you talked about not getting good mangoes. I am pretty sure she is going to abstain from eating any more mangoes...moms!
Thanks for tagging me Sumitha..
Gr8 blog...Keep up your good work
Thanks Sumitha for dropping in my blog. Hope you need to configure your IE to see tamil. I am not using any fonts for that. That is just a unicode
Your Meme has brought in a lot of memories back home...a lot of similarities...Amma feeding both me and my brother with hand...My brother unashamedly, even now,after marriage too, eats from her hand...the only difference now is that along with him his wife(a cutiepie) also opens mouth!!My mom too is a cleaning maniac...I am more or less of your category...I clean it towards the end...She too was always a good host...loved to display her culinary skills when guests came...perhaps all mothers are alike...endless oceans of love...
Simply beautiful!!!!
I used to be fed by my Mom too, especailly before I left for school. But now she doesn't anymore cos she doesn't have the time cos of work. :(
Sudhav,Archant,Star,Ashwini ,Revathi,Karthik,lg,Annita,doc,Pushpa & strictly for my friends - Guys,thank you all for your comments and kind words!
