Hi all, this year we are not celebrating any festival due to fil's passing away in Dec. 08. I got pongal etc. yesterday from neighbours and today I again tasted all that and also Kanu dishes in the virtual feast which you have all spread. Also with Chithra's traditional wishes, kanu is complete. I appreciate all of you for you wonderful spread. Many of you are career women and have taken so much effort to make so many things. Hats off to you all!
Dearest Chithra That was so beautiful a poem I enjoyed reading each and every word and line. Wish you also a great pongal. Your presentation and dishes are out of this world. Super .. I felt it was kept for me especially since I am seeing it first thing in the morning ..hehe.. Wonderful Wonderful Wonderful
Kamla Wow now a days hardly people offer kumkum and haldi. It is so nice to see this plate, we call this as sawasan nu plate(plate for married ladies). thanks for this picture and the prasadam with hakdi and kumkum. Krithika Antoher table ful wow thanks for the spead all the dishes are so yummy. Usha You got sugarcane in US. Your spead looks like the way they do it in India As we don't get somethings outside I only celebrate dasera and Diwali but now looking at all this even i am tempted to give a try again, start doing all this again which I have stopped since a few years. Gowri Day by day with such lovely dishes you are tempting me to book my tickets soon. Latha Thanks for the ready plate.

Thanks Oviya Thanks Gowri Vaidehi Thanks dear. Chop onion, tomato, chilli, capscium and coriander and mix it with corn and pomegranate, before serving add chat masala, salt and lemon juice. Kamla Thanks dear I too do this many time during this season of pomegranate. Even curd rice with pomegranate is just yummy. These 2 recipes always repeated during this season. Thanks Supriya Habibi Thanks Krithika, but in front of your lovely spread mine is very simple. Thanks Ammukutty Thanks AC ...........It is becoz of Saras I am putting them here... She use to be behind me every time you to put in something here...... Now I am clued here............hahaha
Thank you Supriya and Ammu(welcome to this thread)... Malathy, So divine a spread. Being a kuzambu priyai I feel like eating rice now with your kuzambu. Kuthuvilakku jolikkiradhu. Shan, Your spread is looking amazingly great. Achari potatoes; this is what I remember - an old ad, 'peyar ondre podhum, varnikka thevaiyillai edhum'... So much of work continuously. Rest yourself, dear.
Dear C, That was an awesome spread along with Kanu wishes. Padayalum pottu, oru azhagana vazhthu pattum pottu kalakeeteenga I loved the way you wished everyone with that poem. What else can the young IL'ites here ask from a senior citizen like you? Thank you very much. Malathy PS: I wanted to grab those vadagams. :hiya(Not able to reach out my hands from Austin to Chennai-Mylapore).
Shanvy, Thanks for your Kanu wishes. Why not pack some achari potatoes and my all-time favorite Avial and Fedex it, please? See I am not greedy to ask everything Malathy
