Family get together have been quite impossible for the past couple of months, thanks to COVID. Even though it as not really possible for our loved and dear ones to come together but the bond of love was/is as usual the strong it was suppose to be. Keeping that in mind last week my Aunt and her family came to visit on a purpose (medical issue related) not COVID but some other issues. Took the appointment of the doctor and that was indeed a hassle. As most of doctors have limited their time schedule and appointments due to this issue. But at the end it went well and after all the tests that was given to the patient (my grandmother) the result came out normal. That was indeed a relief.
Since everything was normal, in the house we arranged a small feast. Nothing special but just some usual foods which I do fancy by the way. I did the shopping of all these ingredients as there were quite a lot of members and I do have lots of cousins, so there is that. While I was wondering what could be done in simple and easy way. My mother came up with making PULAO & Chicken roast and salad, along with yogurt. So after everything was done the cooking time started. It was fun to be around your family members. Reminded me of the good old days. This happened after quite some time. So it was indeed a nice refreshing memory to get away from the usual way of boring life style which we were leading for the past few months.
One funny incident took place by the way. My little cousin who is around 8 years old, I threw him a challenge, "If he could finish all the food in his plate, I would buy him a toy of his choice". Like the usual ways, kids of this days likes to have snacks of shops much more than home made foods. This was indeed a nice tactics to make him have some food. Even though after struggling hard he was able to finish the food on his plate. Although all of us already had the food, he was the last one to get away from the table lol. As promised, I gave my aunt the money to purchase him a toy of he wants.
Even though, I was not really part of the cooking (as I am a horrible cook), I did made the salads. Well, you may also call it my specialty lol. I am not sure why but I do like salads quite a lot. But if you tell me to have these vegetables alone, then I would gladly pass on them. But together they do looks quite nice and healthy to me to have them ;) I might sound a little weird down here but it is what it is lol.
Well, I really hope the situation gets under control. As far as I am seeing in news and online portals, the situation is getting worse and some of the person that I know of, they are also getting affected to this virus. I wish the antidote gets to the hand of those needed ones ASAP. Stay safe guys and when you go out, take necessary precautions, as if something happens to you, you are going to be responsible for it and your family will suffer due to that. See you soon, on the next blog!
