On the Plate
Polls are over and we still have to wait for another three days before any results are announced in Bharath. Parents with first hand elections experience from home are here with us now. Getting together at the dining table with a plate of decent meal can always be a good place for a lively discussion about current happenings. That’s what had happened this afternoon at home. We had a typical Andhra bhojanam (Annam, avakaya, tomato pappu, beerakaya kura and on the side cherry tomatoes and carrots from the garden, along with coriander rasam and curd) and a lively chat. What was on your plate today?

The plate looks inviting! We had roti, masoor dal, okra curry, rice and curd.
You have tomatoes and carrots already in your garden!!! Growing our own food gives such satisfaction. We live in Oregon and yet to get some real sunshine. It’ll be a month before we can harvest.
