It often happens to me that I am not in the mood to make dinner though I love to cook. If my husband gets knowledge about that he certainly will opt for pizza or burger take out. But yesterday was different, our bachelor friend who lives nearby was coming for dinner. He doesn't get time to make dinner every day and satisfy his tummy with fast food, he was especially coming to eat some homemade food. Last time he visited I promised him to make Chinese dishes. So I sit quietly sipping a cup of chamomile herbal tea to soothe my mind and thought what should I make fast which will be tasty. Chamomile tea did it best I end up with making Fried rice, Thai Shrimp curry and Chicken and Mushroom stir fry. After dinner when he was very happy with food told me "Bhabi(sister in law) your cooking is lajawabab(awesome)". Once I thought to confess that I am not in the mood for cooking but cherish his praising and smiled.
