Settling in a new country is an experience by itself , especially when it is soon after marriage. Unlike home , where there is ' been there and done that ' people advising you on the Dos and Don'ts when you start afresh in a new family , here it is all self learning by experience.
When I came to this country, we had our own trials and triumphs in various aspects of life. Especially when it came to setting up kitchen it was a saga by itself. Neither had I been in kitchen before marriage nor did my hubby had any wisdom to impart.
My kitchen practices have gone through several makeovers and pitfalls and finally there are some things that has become a ritual. To name a few pitfalls - My only grocery shop was Albertsons ( most expensive ! ) , Going out to eat was a routine , Frozen food had always some place in my freezer. Well.. these definetely changed and now as I constantly look for areas to improve and hone my homemaking skills , I find myself going back to my roots - things that my amma advised me as a little kid is coming into reality after self realisation.
So what's new in my kitchen ?
1.Go Organic.
2.Seasonal Cooking.
3.No bulk buying and stocking.
....... Will ramble on these topics soon. :)
