KV, Do I know you??? Adyar Bakery? Grand Snacks? Seriously? Next you will be telling me you know the Aavin park and (ex)Pushpa Shoppe....Aaack!!! :crazy I love Grand's curd rice thonnai!!! Plum cake was also so yummy! My fav of thiers were the cakes/pastries that had the pista crumble on the sides...green color... Now, I am hungry!
new books, baby smells - very true. heavenly smells. by the way - forgive me my ignorance, what is balapam and how is it made?
:biglaugh:biglaugh:biglaugh thanks spidey. and i thought balapam was some culinary dish (how did i miss your picture spidey?!!!) - anu loving the smell of balapam, dnm loving the combination of balapam and chalk ( i did wonder at the combination of chalk and what i imagined to be some kind of kozhambu), coming as it did so soon after mention of onion kothsu (am going to check out on that - another mystery to me). i need to do something radical about my non-existent language skills :hide::hide::help:drowning. anyway, shall count on all of you to educate me.
Definitely manvasanai pulls me out from home.new born baby smell.ripened mango smell take me where ever it is hidden.while browsing in indusladies,burnt sabji will take me to the kitchen:rotflAC showrooms like pothys,chennai silks,kumaran....if u enter first it has a good smell with the combination of clothes and AC.
Sat - I had a good laugh at your vivid imagination - making a kozhambu out of chalk and onions....:rotflI can help you with coloquial tamizh but for the technically correct stuff, you need KV and Spidey! So what smells take you back?
Spidey - Remarkable that you knew balbam was slate pencil in translation!!! :bowdown I actually googled it as balbam and came up with nothing!!!
