Pheww, I am done with it.Oops, no am not. Now on to the 7 things about me
1.I have always wanted to do something with food- right from school days..I still remember telling my cousin sister that I will opt for homescience than maths or science.Same way, I have explored cooking when amma used to go out for a while.
2.I go on and on about TH ( the husband). I cant stop bragging about him.
3.TH and I are born on the same day-I have had people gasp in surprise when I tell them that me and my husband share the birthday.
4.I love cheese in any form- but I am trying hard to control eating it.
5.I hate eating left over food.But its changed after coming over to the USA.
