Time management - cooking, cleaning, and exercise

Kamala dear get well soon and all the best

Happy Mother's day to all of you

My day was excellent today. Was surprised to receive a call from my son that he is coming for lunch as yesterday he had told that he has some meeting today. When I spoke to him I had already made Pongal for breakfast, then onion sambhar and ennai kathrikai. Since son and dil were coming for lunch. Made Pulao, Dahi raita, onion,tomato and coriander chutney and Papad. My dh had gone to a friend's house to give Chakai varatty and his wife in turn gave green leaves morkuzambu. So we enjoyed everything and both son and dil said they enjoyed all the items.

Since balance Pulao was there we went to my brother in law's house and I gave them Pulao and chutney. Bil;s dil said that both are yummy and was asking how in this age you are so active. That made my day. In the evening his friend's wife came home bringing elai adai for us. So Mother's day was a yummy day

 

Dear Kamala,

Hope you got better.

Dear Anitha,

Good to hear your mil arrived there safely. She will be giving good support to take care of the child. When she is there to share you will be able to accomplish more things.

Thanks for your liking latharam

Hello Viji aunty how were you able to do so much of cooking. That's mother's love isn't it?

Today morning I did a typical tirunelveli samaiyal. Poricha kuzhambu with carrot, potato, chow chow, kothavarangai, vazhakai and chenai (yam). pulivitta keerai (did with tomatoes instead of tamarind), tomato rasam, varieties of pappads (maracheeni, ilai vadam, ulundhu).

As my friends were coming, I did masal vadai, got some mixture and cake from shop. Made elaichi tea.
Then went to hotel (only 4 of us could meet) had tandoori items and desserts. DD came with us. Had a very good time. All of us are friends from our middle school. Every year when one of our friends come from Mumbai we meet. My costing batch mates didn't come (one of the guys is my DH's auditor now). My self and friend from Mumbai will be meeting them next week.

Didn't do any special cleaning as it is maintained.

Regards

Wow Kamala Mam... Just found this thread. Your schedule is packed. I just read 2 pages and realised how lousy I am. Laundry/Folding/Ironing clothes is one which I don't do often. Recently I learned that Dish washing need not be a big separate task. I wash the vessels when I keep milk to boil for coffee, or when the curry is in final stage. At the same time I will also try to clean the kitchen floor.

When I went through your tasks for the day, I wondered when do you find time to rest, to read books, or write those beautiful snippets in IL?? Even with this relaxed time I hardly find inspiration to write a post.

Thanks for starting this thread, will keep an eye on it to gather tips from you alll..

Hello friends,

Sorry lost touch with you all for the last 4 days. My schedule for the last 4 days was nothing different, as usual lot of cooking and cleaning and my baby The best day out of these 4 days was y'day...did some shopping...all groceries and eatables only but still all yummy stuff that i love and dinner ar a restaurant.

Today it was very relaxed with cooking and just playing with my DD .Being mothers day, I wished my mom who thinks mothers day is for westerners only and not us Indians. I watched Desperate housewives season finale...got to watch the last 30 mins only will catch the rest online..but i felt so jealous that they were so nice friends who shared everything in their lives...I have not had such friends in my life...might be that's true in drama only

Anyway, I am done with cleaning the kitchen and remaining house is again all messy..I have realised that it's hard to keep my house clean with my DD who loves to explore every object in the house and DH who is least bothered about putting things back in the place. So, I have planned to take it very slow and whatever my energy levels can afford.

Too tired for the day !!!! Hope u all have a wonderful week ahead !
