Diary Updates

Well, as you have noticed I have been posting recipes lately and its been a while since I updated my blog diary.
 

So what have I been upto these days?

Plenty!!!

With a long and bright weekend, I have returned to work with a lot of spirit and energy. Unlike the lethargic week I spent previously, I find myself zestful and lively.

How did I get this change in myself ? Its very simple.

I slept soundly with no tensions of waking up early and I did not set my alarm clock to awaken me. 

I rested more and cooked less.

I watched movies and I shopped .

I went about with my routine chores with no time limit.

I browsed and browsed and used my best buddy on the internet - FACEBOOK extensively.

I read a novel which made me feel light and joyful.

In short, I did all that I wanted to and made myself merrier and zingy. Not to forget, hubby had been a remarkable company to me in the weekend. The weekend days slipped silently and quickly.

Reading the novel had been very refreshing as it cleared my mind and cheered me thoroughly. A romantic thriller is what I call it and it was an 1886 story of a beautiful girl from a rich family of Virginia camouflaged as a guy and going into hiding from a couple of men who are the murderer's of her parents. She seeks harbour in a small farm in North Dakota and falls in love with the owner of the farm and eventually marries him. The killers are later trapped and imprisoned to mark the end of the story.

The story ran for 337 pages and I was so absorbed into it that I forgot the world around me. I felt as if I have been briefly pulled into a wonderland and have been working like a farmhand.

Talking about the blog, as you all must have noticed the RATING NOTES added in each of the recipe I posted, I have Rating Points also mentioned in it. I have been rating my performance of the recipe on a scale of 10 and this is how I categorise the points:

1-3 ----------- POOR

         This means that the dish tasted bad, is not cooked well and is not liked by my family.
 

4-5 ----------- AVERAGE

         This means that the dish has potential but is not cooked well.
 

6-7 ----------- SATISFACTORY

          This means that the dish is cooked well, but can be improved.
 

8-9 ----------- GOOD

          This means that the dish is cooked well, it is liked by my family and can also be improved and altered.
 

10------------- EXCELLENT

           This means that the dish is perfectly cooked. Its Delicious!!!

The Comments that I add below the rating notes indicate the stages of the recipe you need to be attentive in order to avoid a mess or bring in perfection and appeal.

More updates for my diary will be added as the days pass by.
