Memorable meals

Of all the food I have had 2 meals have remained entrenched in my memory. They are the simplest meals to prepare and yet so delightful and tasty.

I had slept early that day after coming back from school. My mom woke me up in the early hours of night to give me my dinner. Oh boy! I never regretted once I woke up from my sleep to eat that dinner. It was nicely roasted potato curry with vendhiya kuzhambu. It was all freshly prepared, served hot and tasted so yummy. Truly unforgettable.

Another memorable meal was even simpler. My grandmother had packed some curd rice and karvepillai podi (curry leaves powder) for our bus trip to the outskirts of chennai. My grandma is adept in making these tasty podi's. It really was a nice meal for the sunny afternoon journey.

Do you have any such memorable meals?

Since its time to start packing for our long road trip, I have been thinking quite a bit about road food lately. One of our favorite foods to take on the road in the last couple of years that we have been traveling is - believe it or not - steamed veggies!

We steam all the veggies left over in the fridge in the morning before we leave. Then we put them in a container which goes in the cooler. In a few hours its turned a lovely temperature and becomes an ideal accompaniment to a PBJ sandwich! Broccoli is especially yummy. I know this sounds awfully health and taste-free but once we tried it, we were sold and so was a friend who went with us on one of the trips!
