I didn’t go anywhere today except our own terrace to take a walk. In fact, in the afternoon, I even took a break after lunch to watch a TV program – am a crime/police procedural junkie.
So what I’ve got today are mostly food photos (lunch and dinner) and some other works in progress 🙂
As always, if you’re so inclined, click the photo to see it in all its original-sized-glory in a new window.

This is my view when I look down from my terrace – happy shades of green |

Ah, sunset. And my son has got the sun between his forefinger and thumb |

Work in progress home made Pizza. Two cheese cubes on the left, ready to be grated |

Two are better than one, no? |
Are you wondering why I didn’t take photos of the cooked versions of the above? Well, I didn’t think of it. And now, it is too late. Another time, I will.

Sneaked a quick photo of Vidur’s drawing. Sorry about the fuzzy mobile phone photo – so I didn’t get the fine details 🙂 |
Let’s head out to the fabulous Unknown Mami’s blog now and from there, visit more cities – all from the luxury of our own keyboards!
Cheers!

Dear Vidya…
What a treat it is for me to have a peek into your life. Your son is gorgeous…I love the photo with the sun coming through his fingers. And the photo of all of the beautiful green specimens outside of your window…what can I say? It makes my heart sing. Your food looks delicious…I think hanging out at your house on Sunday would be a treat! xxoo-fran
Dear Fran, You’re welcome, any time. 🙂 Years ago, I realized with surprise that I enjoyed cooking. My Mum was a fabulous cook. So food is a big deal at our place with everyone participating with ideas. It is fun!
Hugs to you – have a great Sunday and an even better week ahead!
Good pictures for the day. I used to make homemade pizza very often. Your pizza looks very appetizing.
Thank you, Laurie! The first ever time I made pizza at home was for my son 😀 I had never even eaten one before that!
–Dear, Vidya,
You are making me VERY hungry.
Ooo, Can I come over, Pleeease?
Xxx Kiss from MN.
your son is adorable.
Any time, Kim! In fact, I was thinking of you when I posted these 😀 Hugs and you’re always welcome!
The shot of your son ‘pinching’ the sun is funny. Great capture. All that food just made me hungry. I haven’t even had breakfast yet.
Hi Tara! 🙂 He tried holding it in his palm, posed with it perched on his head – and finally decided to pinch it 😀 Was fun doing that on the terrace – we get a fabulous view of the sunset from there. 🙂 What’s for breakfast? Thanks for visiting!
Vidur’s drawing is wonderful. Congrats on getting the deep cleaning done, I know it’s no small task. It’s also great to see that in addition to your park, your town has saved bits of green amoung the buildings.
Your food looks wonderful – I have to log out and eat now!
Thank you, Maggie! Oh yes, the sense of accomplishment gives me a big high! We are one of the lucky few buildings that has some space around it and several trees. It all looks like a beautiful carpet when we view it from the terrace. I wish you could just come over! 😀
I love your Sunday posts Vidya! They always make me appreciate the little everyday things. Thank you!
Thank you, Paige! Am so happy you came by! Hugs!
That picture of the sun pinch is hilarious!!
I love these Sunday strolls. I think I should do this. It would encourage us as a family to get out more 😉
hehehe – Kimberly! We (read “I”) felt too lazy to go all the way to our usual lake and to avoid feeling guilty about not walking, thought we’d go up to the terrace and stroll around instead. It is fun! Hugs!
LOVE holding the sun in his fingers.
The food all looks YUMMY.
I can’t even PRONOUNCE that “tortilla” type food – – – though I’m more than ready to TRY one.
Keetha! 😀 hugs. I love how you said that. You’ll love it – it is quite like stuffed thin wheat pizzas 😀 and very very tasty. We do variations of different stuffings like carrot, cabbage, radish, green peas and cottage cheese, although the hot favorite is potatoes. My son loves to carry it in his lunch box and thinks it is a great way to get vegetables into his diet 😀
Fun pics! Your son is a cutie!
The homemade pizza looks fabulous. The pulao looks yummy, though I have no idea what’s in it or if I’d like it, but it looks appetizing!
Thanks, Kaylen! The pulao has basmati rice, salt to taste, cooking oil, a big green chilly, cut vegetables (carrot, beans, spring onions,capsicum and green peas) Standard Sunday fare. You’ll like it. I saute the vegetables first, then add the raw rice. When the rice starts to stick to the sides of the pressure cooker, I add adequate water and pressure cook it. It is a one-dish meal we all like and we have it with pickle, roasted “papad”(crisps), a green salad and curd. 😀
I have to agree that your pizza looks sumptuous. I love homemade pizza.
🙂 Thanks, Blessing. So sweet of you to come right over!
This all looks really delicious. Thank you for sharing.

Thank you, dear Molly!
Everything looks so good! But the Aalu paratha looks particurly good. We’re on our way!!
Please come right over, Betsy, and bring everyone! We’d love to have you here!
The first picture is so beautiful; it looks like an abundance of green with fine lines of lavender throughout.
You know, Unknown Mami, we’ve lived in our apartment for twelve years now, and the sight of that green from the terrace never fails to amaze me. There are different types of trees and the shades of the leaves look enchanting. Thank you for coming by!
Good morning Vidya. I’m taking a break from my break to say hello and enjoy your “Sunday” offerings. Wow, the view from your terrace is awesome! Your son is so very handsome! I love your pictures so much. And the food. O.M.G. now I’m hungry. I could almost smell the onions. I’ll bet you are an amazing cook!
Anywho, I miss you. I’ve tried to catch you on Google talk but been unsuccessful so far. Hopefully we can chat soon.
As for my break? I’m still on it. Until March 1st….IF I last that long.
XOXOs
Darling Terri! I’ve missed you! How I wish you could just come over! 🙂 As for being an amazing cook, my folks think am great ;-).
My internet has been acting up, along with my antivirus with the comp shutting down abruptly several times. 🙁 So I decided to continue with my deep cleaning. Poor substitute, but… 🙂
Am so very happy you came by! Hugs, hugs, hugs!
