Cooking with mithu

I think there was one and only one event when we all 5 together cooked! That was on Friendship day(Excuse me Chashmish for dates) when we got together at Chakli’s place when we all got together at night on Friday, talked, played dumb charade and cards and decided we all will cook something like full meal-roti, sabji, rice, dal and desert(sheera) but we ended up eating sandwiches!!! JJJ

We all woke up late that day. As usual, Chashmish woke up very very very early. I always tell her a cock-who sleeps early, wakes up early and starts shouting ‘kukdeeeeeee koooooookkkkk’ at others and make them wake up early too… J Then she woke up Lali and Chakli-2 good gals in our gang who never say no. Then they all dared to wake up me and my sis at 8am who usually wake up at 11am in holidays. After a lot of rebels and shouts we finally got up. We all had nice tea together and decided what should we do for cooking.

Chashmish: What else? We decided yesterday no…full meal and desert.

Chakudi(yawning): No yaar, lets cook something different, we all eat this every day.

Lali: Maybe sheero, puri and bhajiya(a full meal).

Chakudi(with her eyes wide open): Noooooooooooooooooo. I don’t want to do any hard work. Let’s not waste much time in cooking. Let’s cook something which is easily done so we can play or chat.

Chakli: Then we can cook sandwiches.

Me: We don’t need to particularly ‘cook’ sandwiches. And only sandwich will be boring and it will complete too fast, lets make cake alsoJ

We made ‘list-of-things-to-buy’. Chakli and Chashmish went out to buy them meanwhile we 3 did some other important work(like switching on computer and tv, eating etc J)

Now making a sandwich should be easy process especially with 5 people doing it, but its not when 5 people are doing 10 kinds of different sandwich :)

Lali wanted fat-free version of sandwich, Chakli wanted 'normal, practical' version, Chashmish wanted full-fat version, I wanted some out-of-the-world version and Chakudi also wanted some non-existing kind of sandwich. We cut different vegetables for different versions and Chakli's big kitchen soon became a mess with 5 of determined not to leave any corner clean!!! :)

Finally, the process of making raw material got over and process of making cake was started. Nobody was baking expert(actually nobody was cooking expert!!!) and we wanted to try Chakli's new microwave, so we prepared a basic batter and put it in microwave, but that first trial turned out to be a disaster as the cake was as good as a stone...ha ha ha..(we never got idea of checking on internet...). And in the process of making disastrous cake, we again messed up kitchen! Now Chakli took control of situation and prepared cake with her mom's tried and tested method and finally it turned out to be delicious.(Oh, we have someone who knows something about baking :) )

We had our lunch wholeheartedly as we did lot of hard-work(in cleaning the kitchen :D) We played for a while and left for home in evening. It was always fun when we were all together. Hope some day we can meet like this.
