Weekend Blogging!

Hi Friends!
I spent most of today cleaning and organizing my kitchen. It has been quite some time since my kitchen cabinets needed a makeover :-) And as usual, I am so busy blogging or cooking for my blog that I have not found the time to do that. But unfortunately, my cabinets were up to the point where things were falling out if I opened them (just kidding!). So anyways, today was the day.
But before I show you guys what I accomplished, I just want to share with you guys a beautiful gift that I received. One of my friend's here gifted me with this wonderful picture of Vridanban Radhe Krishna. I have placed it in my kitchen so that I can use it for my daily offering of food as and when I make it fresh! The word in Telugu is Naivedyam (or any South Indian language).

Then I started with my new Masala Dabba (also called Anjana Potti in Tamil). I am a big Tupperware fan and when I saw this Masala dabba in the Tupperware-India catalog I just had to have it! My friend N was kind enough to buy me one when she visited India. So I filled my new Masala Dabba, and here it is!

And then I got down to serious business. I organized all my kitchen cabinets and managed to get a few pictures before my kids started bringing down the roof with all their commotion!
Here are the pictures!

Hi Latha

Good work done. It feels great after everything gets organized in the kitchen, isn't it. Feels like a great accomplishment.

lathu dear, Wow, first the radha krishna picture is very beautiful and what a nice idea to have it in the kitchen for offering the naivedyam to god. God bless you. d your pantry and the populu petti (the masala dabba) look so organised andI am sure it would be a pleasure to cook in your kitchen. Keep it up. Love Mom.

You have a lovely masala dabba and neat and organised pantry Latha !

Latha said...

Thank you dear friends. I am not always this organized, but all your appreciation makes it worthy!

Nav- I checked out your new Tupperware! It is cool. All your new gadgets are cool. I need a new murukku press too, mine is broken and I have been borrowing my friend's when I make murukku!

Thanks mom! You know I am not this organized. Sometimes I go crazy with the clutter that I have no choice but to clean!
