From last 2 days whatever I am baking or cooking is turning into a disaster. Hence, I took a small break. Guess my experiment didn’t work this time while cooking. Nevertheless, that won’t stop me from creating fusion and flavors. After all, that is my blog a result of fusion.
Well, we have utilized all veggies we had in our fridge. Veggies like aubergines, carrots, peas, cauliflower, beans that make a lot of veggies. Our stock of veggies, spices and groceries are on the verge of a red line. I meant almost getting over so soon it will be grocery shopping for us.
Gone are the days when we used to go to buy groceries from a local Kirana shop. Nowadays we all love to go to a sophisticated store where we get everything under one roof+ Ac comes free of cost. Hmmmm technology and development have changed so many things including our preferences and  lifestyle.
