Recipe is a side show

It's a hazy morning. Rain on the way in the afternoon. I am on my way to the coffee house. 

I have taken my red umbrella just in case. We have to be ready for anything.

It is better to be prepared to face anything. Not to ruin our trip. It is 9.30, I am crossing the intersection of the Whites Road and Kingston road. Kingston is a sort of highway. Very busy.

Today is a big day for me. One of my daughters is coming with her husband for a short trip to Toronto. I have to make some vegetarian dishes for them.

Her husband likes stir fried vegetables. I got zucchini and eggplant. I will make it with onions and tomatoes. I think it will be tasty. Let's see. I believe our love makes any dish tasty. Recipes are just a side show.

The same recipe will not give the same result. The person who is cooking makes all the difference. I think it matters who will be going to have our cooking.

Relationships are key for everything in our life. Feeling low and lonely is not going to make any dish tasty. We have to put some love into the recipe while making food.

Anyway, enough time for me. My daughter is coming at 4 pm. I am planning to go to the airport with my son to surprise her. For now I am enjoying my coffee at the Second Cup coffee house.

First we have to make ourselves happy to spread happiness. With our gloomy face we are not going to make others happy. Keep that in mind.

The sun not yet awake

  It's a cold cloudy morning. The sun is not awake yet. Drowsing under his grey blanket. He must be awake till late at night.  It was raining all night. It just stopped and will start again after a couple of hours at 10. That the weather channel is predicting. It is 7.30, I got up early today. The first thing I do is to check the weather of the day. Time is running out. I have to get ready for my walk. I will miss that otherwise. It will start at 10 and will be raining all day. I have to dress up in layers. It is 8 C. I have to pick my maroon umbrella just in case. That umbrella I got years ago from Dollarama store for three dollars. We have to be prepared while getting out of the house. Not good to get stuck on the way to spoil the trip. I have gloves, my woolen cap and my red woolen stole. This red stole one of my senior club friends gifted to me. Gifts are like souvenirs. Doesn't matter how much it costs. Price doesn't matter. I am all set ready to leave. M...

Time to take a break

  It is a cold bright morning of the 6th of January. Chances of freezing rain ice pallets later on.  My walk outside is on hold for a while. Safety is a priority for everyone. We have to be extra careful at the later stages of our life. It looks like a different scenario with snow all around. The trees are decorated with white powder and loaded with cottony flowers. It is so peaceful, calm and quiet. Winter is the time to take a break. To stay indoors. To focus on your inner self. Time to talk to yourself. To listen to your inner thoughts. Time to take a break from your busy schedules. Every season has its own beauty. Its own identity. We can plan accordingly, to get busy and enjoy our time. We humans are amazing. We can make adjustments with any of our surroundings. Winter is the time to skate to play ice hockey. To plan skiing and ice fishing. It's time to hit the water. It is the time to take a break from hitting roads and trails. We have a different scenario for now. Birds...

Take a break slow down

  Beautiful morning. Great scenic atmosphere. Pink Canadian roses are smiling. The grass is lush green.  A couple of birds are having a party in my backyard. Two squirrels are playing hide and seek under the Maple tree. The small brown rabbit is sitting quietly on the left side. I think he is enjoying his own company and is here to behold the scenery too. It is early morning 8.30, I am sitting on one of the red knitted steel garden chairs. I am having my breakfast on the deck, like to be a part of all these beautiful moments to cherish. The sky is like a clean slate. An untouched canvas with a couple of grayish abstract sketches. The entire atmosphere is so peaceful, we can sit quietly here to meditate. The atmosphere is loaded with the fragrance of flowers. My flower bed at the back is looking beautiful with golden yellow, blood red, white and purple seasonal flowers. The red garden chair my son got from the Canadian Tire store years ago is at the corner to lie down to relax....
