First baby steps...

I've been a silent spectator for way too long...

Started following the blogosphere more than a year ago, and was inspired to start a blog. But work, family, school, pregnancy and childbirth kept me away from posting, and I have been a silent spectator. I claimed this blog title a long time back, and resolved to start posting during my maternity leave, but that was not to be.

I started taking several foodie pictures, much to the glee of my ever-watchful 5-year old. He also knows about food-blogs, and keeps asking if I've started blogging...

I have been a foodie since my childhood days, thanks to the excellent cooks in my family - mom, dad(???), grandmoms, aunts etc.. Most of my earliest memories revolve around food. When afternoon transmission started on tv, one of my favorite serials was the one in which they showcased recipes.

I got introduced to the wonderful world of cooking, partly due to the tradition followed (now long-gone) at home - of the mandatory 3 days of rest for mom. Earlier my dad or our governess used to cook, but when dad realized that I was old enough to cook(I was probably 8-9 then), he happily relinquished the role to me:). There were three things that I had to do before retiring for the day
- make sure that the gas cylinder was switched off
- ora-kuttify curd (set yogurt for next day)
- keep out milk vessel for milkman in the morning

This is just a start...More memories(and recipes too:)) to follow...
