Unique Times

Where I share my jewels of wisdom of life

Unexpected pleasures,

connections made,

hearts open in delight,

food shared,

words superfluous,

gifts of appreciation,

gratitude for each moment,

a serendipitous highlight.

Mice on the door step,

a gift from Star,

but that won’t make it to

my dinner plate, tonight!

Yesterday my mother invited me for lunch because she was having my sister in law over as they are planning a little event. I’m still not privy to share the news but I think I’ll be able to share it with all of you next week, I hope. I was hemming and hawing about going because it was off task in my schedule and I knew I would pay the price later. While it’s true I pulled an all nighter to make up for lost time, it was more that worth it.

My mom is renting to this adorable Indian woman and her mother currently and we had such a delightful time. You know how I feel like I’m half Indian since I have so many Indian followers, I adore. Plus, my dear friends Nila, Amit and Marcelo from home are like family too. Sushama is a scientist and is on a visa and is only here for 2 more weeks and then will return again after getting a longer visa. We hope it will work out to return to her house again again as they are a delight. She was so gracious and invited me to stay with them any time. It’s definitely on my bucket list to come visit and meet up with some of you.

In the meantime, you know me, my wheels are turning and I’m busy arranging a dinner to have them meet my friends and maybe an arranged marriage with my friend. 🤣 Sheereen from The Lightening Bug, can tell you I’m a complete failure setting people up but it doesn’t stop me. Shhh don’t say anything, I haven’t told them yet. 🤣They are both Indian but she says she doesn’t care what nationality he is, nor does her mom, as long as he’s a nice guy. Wow, how progressive is this! I’m not sure how they would manage their cooking styles since she uses lots of spices and he uses barely any spices at all. It will be fun. She has never been married because her father died early and she help her mom take care of her 3 siblings.

They surprised us and brought us this amazing food which I forget what it was now but you may recognize it. Their hospitality and warm spirit was just like being with all of you on the blog. I’m so blessed that we all share such warm connections from everyone on the globe and our friendship that truly is a gift to me each and everyday.

Thanks mom for a lovely introduction and lunch!

Star is in big trouble as she stayed out all night for the first time in quite awhile and ate mice which is her fav being a feral at heart. It was the first time I didn’t stay up all night waiting for her but was relieved to see her little face in the morning for some snuggles and love. But I’m giving her the cold shoulder but she’s so cute I can’t resist her purrs of affection.


Reminding you Today is the final day to vote for Author of the Month. How did April go so fast! Thank you to all of those who already cast your vote for me. I’m truly grateful. If you wanted to vote and haven’t gotten to yet, there’s still time and I would be most grateful. Again, Congratulations to the other nominee’s.

Here is the link and if you have to try more than 5 minutes, PLEASE DO NOT worry about it! I know it can be tricky.

Sounds like a delicious meal and delightful company. It is sometimes good to accept an invitation which pulls one away from the myriad of other priorities clamoring for one’s energy. Perhaps the universe has something to say in the brief respite/ change of environment.
Your cat Star sounds adorable! At least you did not need to prepare a meal for her!
Happy matchmaking…! Cheers and Happy Friday, my friend. Peace!!

Thank you so much, Cindy for this ‘India special’ post. Glad to know that you are half Indian. It’s heartening to note what you feel about Indians. I liked the picture of Indian family, especially one draped in saree, an Indian outfit. My love and regards to them. Dish looks quite familiar.
Poem in the beginning set the tone of this beautiful post. Star is the real star. I’m trying to vote for you. Wish you all the best for this and also for your role as a matchmaker. Have a lovely and enjoyable weekend 🎉

I hope to meet you Cindy whenever you visit India. I ll cook a vegan sweet dish called ‘gajar ka halwa’ for you. It is a yummy carrot pudding.

Yes, you said it correctly. I don’t know how to make Gulab Jamun. But we can buy Gulab Jamun from many wonderful sweet shops.

If it’s vegan, then I am sure you are replacing milk with something else.

I wonder How gajar ka halwa taste like with milk replacement.

DEVANG UPADHYAYA
Reply to  Cindy Georgakas

I’ve mentioned gajar ka halwa in a blog( a prompt by me).

Gajar means carrots
Halwa is like a porridge

It’s a sweet dish made with carrots, milk, cream, dry fruits

Ranjana

Oh, oh, yes. You are right, Devang. Sorry, not a vegan sweet dish. Gajar ka halwa will not taste yummy without milk and clarified butter.

DEVANG UPADHYAYA

Yes if you want to make it vegan
You have to use stuff like coconut milk, Cream or almond milk.
It will be expensive 😝

I saw the photo and thought you came to my country!
But its nice that you enjoyed our food and honestly, I would love to see you in an Indian attire someday!

Also, I have been meaning to ask you. Would you want to do an exchange on each of your blogs? Like guest posts, where I publish one of your works on my blog and vice versa?

I thought it’d be an enjoyable experience and when I send in something, I can learn from you as well:)
