burned hands and pockets

Yesterday was the company’s annual day. S and my item dance never materialized! i decided to skip it and went home to meet my sister. S nagged me to go with him as he would get bored without me but i refused. i have better things to do than watch them dance and listen to long bhasans.

And i burned my right hand while cooking yesterday. i was trying out stuffed capsicums – they turned out really good; I would have been disappointed if they turned out bad after sacrificing my hand and all that. Next time, i am going to just bake it in the microwave instead of frying the capsicums and save my beautiful skin from being scorched.

My colleagues wanted to know what ever happened to my hand – i told them that he burned me!

And the kitchen design is turning out to be quite a pain in the ass. We are going in for the half open kitchen style for the new place. Now, we are undecided about which side should be the main cooking area – well, he is undecided. i have pretty much made up my mind. He was miffed because I didn’t like his idea – hell, I am not going to nod my head in agreement just because I am in love. Sometimes, he can be quite a pain. In the end, I shall triumph as always.

We have decided to go the whole hog and make the kitchen as modern as we can afford. We went to a modular kitchen designer and he gave us an estimate- a whooping 1.5 lakhs! Add to that the chimney, cooking range and the budget would be like 2 lakhs for the kitchen alone. That is a lot of money. We will have to do some research and maybe go in for Godrej or some other reputed brand.

And we have the bathroom to think about – we altered the bathroom to make it big enough to fit a bathtub Maybe we will be paupers by the time we move in.

I have always wanted a big kitchen and bathroom. I love the big spacious kitchen back home. I want a garden too but that would have to wait. Maybe I will cultivate one in my head!
