Hello Wonderful Souls
Hope facing the new turn of weather with amazingly positive attitude and deep sense of gratitude as moments in hands are worth living to their fullest :)
My eldest son was supposed to visit this winter but he won't be due to his thesis which will end in March hopefully . He dose not like extreme cold weather ,specially the gloomy grey one makes him homesick :(
Along with keeping in touch with us on weekly bases he joins his friends to make his holidays lighter. Such a blessing precious friends are :)
He was invited to his friend's house who moved there recently after having job .He and his wife became good friend of my son .Last sunday they decided to cook together ,they made traditional fast food "POOORIYAN WITH SWEET DISH AND SPICY CHICKPEA CURRY" Pooriyan are made with all purpose flour ,bit of sugar ,oil and salt ,they are deep fried and very tasty , in this image you can see Halwa or sweet dish (semolina and sugar,oil and dry fruits)
it is tricky to make soft pooriyan so they took help from youtube ,my son sent me few videos to share funful procedure , their effort was innocent and made me laugh specially when it came to put poori in pot for deep fry ,my son jumped away after putting it in as he though oil will spring or else lol
their sauce looks quite impressive to me ,i did not ask though what they used to make it
after long effort food was ready to eat :) i think such happy times together remain in memories for lifetime .each of them will take his road of life with treasure of such wonderful memories
chickpea curry looks absolutely delicious , they must have followed the recipe carefully and came up with such success :) my son said it was indeed
Wander in park is source to refresh energies as he says staying all the time indoor is depressing sometimes ,so he takes breaks to recharge and i can see it works :)
German name of park slipped easily from my mind ,huge park had crowed due to fine weather ,beautifully maintained
on holidays he shares glimpse of his food on my request ,this one to assure me that he take lots of fruits either :)
a holiday evening he went out with friend and her boy friend , same brave ,strong girl who's home i visited when we we stayed in Karachi to see off my son for Germany last year ,she went through the knee surgery lately as had fall from bike . He said she is perfectly fine now by the grace Of God!
with best friend :) both look in mischievous mood ,my son can never be tired of praising this friend ,he says he is one of FINEST human being he ever knew !
Today is Saturday evening . My son told last day in text that he might not able to call us today because he will go for hiking with friends probably .I am missing him yet i am happy for him that he is enjoying his gloomy weather with friends :)
wishing him and all other youngster who left nest and took flight to new skies a happy successful life each step ,amen!!!!
thank you for stopping by and reading dear friends !
blessings to all of you!
Thanks for sharing this nice post, the food looks delicious and it looks like your son is doing well.
ReplyDeleteWOW...these recipes look absolutely delicious...I wonder if I could try to cook them? I will give it a try!😊
ReplyDeleteOh I am so glad your son is getting outside with his friends in the gloomy weather. It isn't much fun staying indoors in Europe at this time of year.
We have such dull, cloudy weather here today (matching the current political state of our country!). It has never been fully daylight, more a sort of continual twilight! 😕
Still, I guess we all long for what we have little of...I would love some of your wonderful hot weather!
Should, of course, be grateful for what I have! 😉
Have a wonderful weekend!😊😊
Much love and hugs ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
It's wonderful that your son has such good friends while he is far from home. Looks like they had a delicious feast!
ReplyDeleteI liked seeing your son's photos and hearing about him and his friends. I have two sons who are grown and have left the nest, so I understand how you feel when you are missing your son who is far away.
ReplyDeleteThe food looks great!
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear that your son’s visit home will be put off. The cold gloomy weather is beginning to close in on us here in New York too!
Have a great day!
I know how much you miss your son. It must make you feel comforted that he has good friends to be with him while you can't.
ReplyDeleteIt is very good for young people or any people for that matter to get out and be exposed to other ways of life.
ReplyDeleteI can see why it would feel so good to you to know he has such good friends. i enjoyed the photos of the food they cooked. Love the photos of the city also.
ReplyDeleteThe food looks delicious and it sounds like your son has wondrous friends. I know you miss him. Congrats to him for almost being finished with his thesis. What a huge accomplishment.
ReplyDeleteAll the best,
Good friends are so precious. I'm glad that your son is in good company while he's away. All the food looks delicious!
ReplyDeleteHi, Baili! The food that your son and his friends made looks delicious! I'm sure preparing it and enjoying it was a good break from studying and working. The winter gloom is no fun, so it's great that your son gets out when he can. It can grind you down. I'm so glad that winter in Colorado brings lots of sunshine. I don't miss winters in eastern Canada, let me tell you! I'm sorry that your son won't make it home. I know that you and your husband will miss him so much. I don't envy him writing his thesis. It's a tough slog, but I have no doubt that he will do a great job. Sending you a big hug!!!
ReplyDeleteYour son has grown up indeed.
ReplyDeleteGood to see he's having a lovely time with his friends - always a blessing to see our children happy :)
Hello Baili,
ReplyDeleteYour son is doing well and is happy. The food looks delicious. I think we all want our children to do well and have a great life. Great photos. Enjoy your day, have a happy new week ahead.
There is nothing nicer than sharing a meal with friends or family. I am sure your son learned his cooking skills from you.
ReplyDeleteIf he is writing his thesis ... it is time well spent ... and he will reap the benefits later from this hard work. What a handsome lad he is!
Lovely photographs here.
ReplyDeleteI know you miss your son … it is so nice to see photographs of him with his friends.
The food looks delicious.
Take care, my good wishes.
All the best Jan
It sounds like your son is having a wonderful time, learning and growing. It is lovely to hear that he has met good friends.
ReplyDeleteThe curry looks delicious :-)
The curry made me hungry :))
ReplyDeleteHave a great week!
Your son appears to be doing very well, Baili, and that certainly eases your mind and makes you happy for him. i know you must be disappointed that he had to cancel a planned visit, but once his thesis is done there will be time for celebration and visits. Thanks for sharing the food photos which made me hungry.
ReplyDeleteQue pratos maravilhosos e como gostei de ver o seu filho alegre com os amigos… Que a tese dele corra bem. Gosto de sentir a felicidade familiar…
ReplyDeleteUma boa semana.
Um beijo.
Glad to hear about your son, and see him with friends. He must be very busy due to accomplish his thesis; he delayed his visit schedule to the perfect time.
ReplyDeleteWow, he is so good at cooking! The foods look yummy!
What a beautiful bond you have with your son, it is so very touching and lovely! Hope my bond with my baby boy will be the same after years☺ I didnt know he is studying in Germany, I live in Poland, so we are very close!The food looks amazing! They are surely great in cooking☺ Have a lovely week ahead☺
ReplyDeleteHello dear Baili, the dishes prepared by your son and his friends look fabulous and indeed sharing a meal with people you love is one of the best things in life.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your lovely comment on my post... I'm looking forward to your possible travel to Europe and how you would describe the tour with your magical words. :)
Hugs!
Delicious!

That's so nice Baili, everyone looks so happy though I'm sad for you that he won't be back for the holidays! A thesis is a big thing, good luck to him! That meal looks so tempting!! :)
ReplyDeleteIt looks a lovely meal laid out on the table.
ReplyDeleteI like how your son sends reassuring food photos through to you, that's considerate.
All is going well :D) xx
Everything looks so delicious. I remember trying to cook at first. Not everything went well, but practice helps :)
ReplyDeleteIt is so heartwarming that your son has made good friends and is getting out to see the area in which he is staying while at school. All we parents ever want is for our children to be happy, isn't it? He looks happy!
I always like to see the delicious foods that you and your family make. It all looks Yummy. It sounds like your son is doing well and spending quality time with friends. : )
