Oh Lovely!
Something about my Late Dad
We, I and my late sister
Kamala, were used to 180 day no repeat menus, all our childhood.
PS: My Late Dad, did not relish cooking
Fish, as we mostly lived in Brahman/Jain Jaipur between 1969 & 1984(My
memorable childhood (at 24 J ) ended when I left Jaipur to Join Customs/Syndicate Bank) My late
Dad, continued his cooking(including 38 item Ona Sadhya / Onam Lunch Feast)
till his Last Onam(2007) which I missed, as it was reporting Friday & I was
posted in Mathura, Dad was in Jaipur(Wife tells me, he waited for me &
cried L Mind you, I was 47, Dad 78!!! ) He kept cooking, till his last day
at Home, 31th March 2008 (from where, he went to ICU on 1st
April 2008 & passed away on 17th April 2008. By the way, he
prepared bed tea on 1st April, 2008!!! He loved 4 things, Reading
Voraciously, Cricket, Lata Mangeshkar & Food.
This is part one. Will
continue till Day #40 I will link all items with videos by Sanjeev Kapoor’s Khana
Khazana, Wah Re Wah & Manjula’s Kitchen. (These three YouTube Channels that
I refer to, to double check my cooking confusions)
