We had sudden thunderstorm and rain for a while night before tomorrow .This was bonus indeed which privileged us to make quick tour to Sukkur next morning .Quick because despite of mother Nature's kindness we knew summers days are not for long comfortable market stroll .So we left at 12: 20 little after breakfast and returned at 5:15 almost.We could have return earlier if we would have found the microwave safe cooking pot soon as we expected . I mentioned in previous post about gas problem we are having due to some road construction work near our colony.This problem is still here so we decided to bring microwave safe cooking pan so we can eat homemade food. When my eldest son gifted me oven and microwave an year ago i was like what would i do with them as i hardly used them though i saw my mother heating food in microwave when she lived in Islamabad but i never used this stuff personally. But my eldest son trusted me with this as he knew i can google about anything i want so i did. I used to bake cake once in while before but only using stove and using sand filled pots .I was happy when i could bake my first cake in electric oven successfully and joy doubled when it was appreciated and eaten away instantly.
Baking became normal and joyous for me after that but when we encountered with gas issue i had to use oven for making traditional food .As i mentioned living in hot part of land make us use less cheese so having pizza often is out of question for me and hubby particularly .We both had stomach issues in past and try to keep our meals as simple as possible. When i googled about cooking traditional food in oven there was no such great help.So i pondered little bit about how it can work and i was happily surprised to see when i saw my first dish of Biryani was out of oven and front of my eyes and looked perfectly fine.My younger son who is really hard to make happy and hardly praise any thing mostly prefers market food.When he appreciated that biryani was most delicious dish he ever had i sighed with gratitude.
I had no microwave safe cooker so i thought it would be nice to have one so i can learn cooking in microwave too.I asked hubby to buy one but he did not find here in Khairpur city of ours.Rain gave us chance to buy it from Sukkur but i was so disappointed that among so many shops i can found this ware in one shop only.According to owner he had many from other places but one from Turkey is success because ladies who bought others returned with complain that they cracked during cooking. He said he has only one piece left but he asked 2500 rupees for this one pan.Hubby thought he was taking advantage so we visited other shops again who had such pans but with no guarantee that they won't crack which should be mentioned with word printed on their back ,but nothing like this so we went back to that shop and bought this pan .I was scared despite of it had guarantee mentioned on it but it worked today thankfully. When my both sons expressed their likening it was great satisfaction to my heart.
We took advantage of day chilled with rainy after effects and did some due shopping too. We bought some dresses for both boys for Eid al adha which is a month away almost.We also bought some dishes for personal use as we were lacking them but waiting for cooler weather to shop.
