Hey lovely people!
Hope and pray that all is good at your end.
Its been a while we have returned from Karachi. Though constant business keep mind and body occupied and short days make routine quite a task sometimes. Winter is season of mustard green here(sarson k saag, local term) which is very popular among all equally . image below is from google just to give you idea . i have made this dish twice until now which is quite time and energy consuming but turned out so well thankfully.
and i cooked this very favorite sweet dish of the season too and each time i sent it to all in law family members living 20 minutes away which praised it thankfully . making gajar ks halwa is also very tiring ,from washing carrots to pealing and slicing them into thin tiny pieces and then cooking which take one and half hour almost is quite a job but result is super delicious and rewarding indeed.
dear friends that is it for today. i am visiting you all and hope you are getting my comments too. looking for longer days when i can post the way i want to . health peace and happiness to all of you and to all you love!
Anum sounds like a wonderful young woman!
ReplyDeleteThere are a lot of courageous women in this world, raising families on their own and doing great jobs. Love that last photo!
ReplyDeleteThe mustard green dish looks amazing, as does the carrot dessert! It is definitely a labor of love, but so glad that everyone enjoyed it! So sad to hear about the difficult circumstances of your son's friend's family. But what a beautiful girl she is, indeed. Many blessings to you dear Baili! Wishing you a wonderful Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteFirst, I want to thank you, Baili, for your kind comments on my recent holiday posts. hey were very much appreciated. It looks like your son's friend, Anun, has a very special family and her mother is to be congratulated for bringing up her children so well despite her sadness.
ReplyDeleteYou are right in what you wrote that many of us have problems and difficulties, but the important thing is how we face them -- with despair and frustration or hope and faith. It seems that Anna's mother choose wisely.
Your dishes look delicious! What a lovely gathering, I am sorry to learn of their circumstances but you are right, have faith and never give up.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing these dishes, they do look and sound good :)
ReplyDeleteA fabulous family and friends group photograph, so nice to spend fun-time together.
Enjoy your January days.
All the best Jan
Anum's family is lovely. She has a very caring mother.
ReplyDeleteYou had a great family gathering that brought back many good memories.
ReplyDeleteSend to Macau :))
ReplyDeleteI pray her children will be protected from any harmful effects of his absence. He provides for them and that is a blessing. Perhaps in his heart there is love for them despite these choices. I pray for healing for their mother and joy. For you too, Baili, that this story would not leave heaviness in your heart, but that you would think of their smiles instead of their woes. Bless you. 💙
ReplyDeleteDear Sandi injustice is disturbing no matter on what level it happens. Anum, s, mom is strong mother no doubt yet she is a woman who wants to see her home as sweet home full of love and care. Though her self respect does not allow her to express her distress but her grief can be seen on her face and in her eyes. Therefore my respect for her strength is to avoid mentioning her pain here
DeleteThe Lord bless her and keep her; the Lord make His face to shine upon her and be gracious to her; the Lord lift up His countenance upon her and give her peace. This is Aaron's blessing for Israel from Numbers 6:24-26.
DeleteThanks for the moral support dear Sandi
DeleteThe food looks delicious... Good to see a family reunion

ReplyDeleteWonderful foodie post. Thanks for sharing about friends and family too. Happy Weekend! Oh, and thank you for your comment too!
ReplyDeleteIt was good to meet this lovely family through your blog, and what you said is right: life has to move on, however difficult the circumstances. The thing you say about the sweet dish sounds like making carrot halwa, which my aunt will do well. Keep writing and have a good weekend
ReplyDeleteÉ sempre bom manter bons relacionamentos, sejam de que natureza forem.
ReplyDeleteAbraço amigo.

ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing the delightful, joyful photo of Anum and her family with yours. Such kind and generous hospitality! Your dishes look delicious, Baili. I can certainly relate to the tediousness of washing, peeling, slicing, and dicing carrots into tiny pieces. I try to add more vegetables to a number of dishes by finely dicing carrots, and/or celery, peppers, and onions. Sometimes the chopping can be calming, and sometimes it can make me crazy. The task is the same. It's my mind and attitude that's different ~ lol! Hugs to you, my precious friend!
ReplyDeleteThe food looks delicious.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like you all had a fund get together with your sons friend.
