!!!! manu needhi kelvi patruken..ungaaathula menu neethi pola!!! ebaaaa...padikkavay kanna katuathay!!!
Ha Ha. All I can say is that the master of the house likes a lot of food and El Nino is taking in his footsteps :):)
Aaaaargh!!! So much of the precious morning times of most Indian women spent in deciding the menu for the day :D. And what do men do? Simply suggest, 'Do something different/easy//Your choice'!!! I really pity Senora, knowing how difficult it is to plan for 2, leave alone 4.
Psst,psst, I have succeeded in making some of my favorites that were the 'not likes' of the husband, his likes as well :D. :wicked grin:
@gils-:-) menu illayael saappaadu illai. kudukkara deivaththu maela kovichchukka mudiyaadhu, illayaa. :-) appuram kedaikkaradhum kedaikkaadhu. Innum konja naal irukku umakku. Adhu varai enjoy!!! Appuram kanna kattum.
@Ramesh-Hee Hee Hee. :-) Master (i.e. Señora, not me) of the house knows to handle a fair amount of dishes. I only as a humble consumer, know only to finish them and maybe only help with a very few. :-D Oh! and I handle the dishes too, by soaking them in the sink. :-) :-) El Niño knows how to get his favourites made, and is a highly picky eater. :-D Once in a while, I get a call at work complaining that yucky vegetables are being given to him for lunch. :-)
@RS-:-D :-D You hit the nail on the (my) head. Ouch!!! The 'what do men do?' is absolutely right. :-) :-) It is almost never a common breakfast on any day. :-( We are like the navagraham, all having fairly different tastes and likes. To be fair, I have almost changed completely from a vegetable hater at one time to a vegetable eater now. Otherwise, I can't say to the other three :-), Look!, I am eating all these, you better too. :-)
Sigh! There ws a time when Mom used to ask Dad, me and sis what we wanted to have. Our standard answer wud be 'anything' but she knew it consisted of many 'not this' and 'not that'
Sigh! Nw that I am in her place and even with only one taker, it's so damn difficult!
some people still get to eat breakfast :p how lucky ! !
enga veetla paathi naal deal.. hee hee.. irukkave irukku bread, cereal, apple ,idly, dosai..
actually idly dosai s no big deal.. its the side dish that matters most. hmm..!! nice topic u chose.. something I really didnt care for a long time but I should .
@Swaram-:-D Mothers typically know likes and dislikes of the family members. It is usually an overloaded 'anything' (anything, but x, y and z and including a, b, c). Is 'Su' difficult or is it you who makes it seem so? ;-)
@R-ambam-Yaenga, list ellam for the whole day meal, not just breakfast. Unga oorla cereal choice is pretty good, 20+ options, konja nalaikku ohttalaam. :-) Maybe innum konja naalla, you'll start to care for this. If the kids are not fussy, it is okay. Otherwise, neenga parallelism kaththukka vaendiyadhudhaan. :-)
