The Return of the Solo-Cook

I am cured of the aversion I had to the idea of this blog as a chore. It is not and my love for cooking has brought me to it again.

Today's meal:

Macaroni with carrots, capsicum, olives and cheese. The meal had absolutely no oil. The vegetables were just cooked slightly in water.
It was fun making this.

In the past few days, when this blog was not being written, I kept cooking interesting meals: chapatis, quite a few times, various rice dishes and on one day aubergines after a very long time. I tried a vegetable called courgette or zucchini. It looks like a cucumber and tastes a bit like ridged gourds -raw. I liked it.

Today I saw a lady walking a tiny dog on leash. I wondered why such a little thing should chained and tugged along - till I cycled close to them. The creature got into such a vicious barking fit that I was very glad that it was tied! It was both comical and scary to see it - the confidence in spite of its size!
