When life gives you...

...cabbages, you have a lot of options. I chose to make some cabbage salad.


Rice with beans, carrots, red capsicum and cashew nuts, with cabbage salad and curds. I had intended to put in some chillies into the rice, but forgot about it. So there is nothing in the dish to make it hot. It doesn't matter much, still tastes interesting. And man! look at those colours.
A lot is said about the ability of good food to affect a person's mood, but I think not enough is said about the ability of the process of cooking to do this. I have experienced the worsening of a bad mood and the bettering of a good mood while cooking.
Tip of the day: This one is my dad's. He gently suggests that eating raw uncooked vegetables late in the night isn't good for you. These should be eaten atleast 12 hours before you wake up the next day. If you intend to wake up at 6AM, take raw food no later than 6PM the previous evening.
Hmm, was that a tip really?
